The Temple

Philosophy, perspective, and lifelong curiosity.

I've never been religious. We didn't go to church growing up. Instead, I was introduced to Taoism as a teenager, and that one conversation sent me down a path I never expected. From there I discovered Buddhism and eventually Stoicism. I don't believe any one philosophy or religion has all the answers, but I do think each offers a unique perspective on how to live a meaningful life. The Temple is where I share those ideas through my own experiences. Each Scroll explores a different topic while highlighting the similarities and differences between these philosophies and how they've shaped the way I see the world.
