Writing is a good thing. Someday we may speak of you only as Livio, like we do of other great Latin writers, Cicero, Seneca, and Marcus Aurelius. Of course, that is not the reason to write. Write to be awake to the world, and share your insight with others. This a worthy path of a writer.
This is not the reason to write. But might still be one of the reasons to write!
If I am honest with myself, recognition and praise is still one of the key factors that pushes me to stay on the path. Together with the energy I get. And with the people I get in contact with. Like you, Ed.
Is there any of your articles which contain a lesson you would like to remember?
Wise advice that I need to remind myself of, too. It is easy to fear the unknown and doubt my ability to handle it. It helps to remember previous hard times when I didn’t see how things could work out but they did.
I am curious to know why it has come to your mind in the context of this article.
Would you like to tell me more?
The title "The Pathless Path" reminds me of the concept of "The Artless Art" from "Zen in the Art of Archery". Which suggests that the highest level in any art is when it is pursued for the sake of it.
Similarly to the Taoistic approach, stating that "Superior virtue is not aware of itself as virtue, hence it is virtue".
I have touched upon the concept in my favourite article I have written so far (despite definitely not the most successful ;).
Livio, I thought of adding audio but that is as far as it gets. I like to write. Reading and performing not so much. We will see. Thanks for checking out the work and for signing up. D
Write often Livio. It’s a form of meditation that would guide you through hard times and a practice that would help you see the joy through normal times. Keep going and don’t stop.
Yeah! I am trying to write 1 hour per day for 5 days a week. For now it is more or less working.
I find very energising to write about a topic which is alive for me in that specific moment (like the one of this article). More draining when this is not true, or I am running against time.
I am applying these lessons as I define my writing system.

I would like to have a look at it.
Thank you. I agree.
Keep writing Livio, your words continue to inspire many people. Stay on the path!
I must be keep reminding myself of this, I must be keep reminding myself of this, I must be keep reminding myself of this.
Thanks, Tobias!

Yes, Wendi. It is easy to forget.
But we can also increase our likelihood to remember.

Great post Livio.
Please keep going.
Have you read The Pathless Path by Paul Millerd? Great book. So inspirational.
Thanks, Martin.
I have never heard of it. I will take a look!

Livio, We write very similarly. Check out https://davekarpowicz.substack.com/ I would be interested in your thoughts. Thanks D
Very interesting stuff, indeed.
I like the way you put meditations on text.
Have you ever thought to add audios to your meditations?
