Description: Beautifully dark and gothic pen and ink hand-drawn illustration of 13th century Memento Mori poetry. Animals die, friends die, and thyself, too, shall die; but one thing that never dies are the tales of the one who died. This beautiful stoic philosophy poetry gives me hope, even though if we all are going to die, if we live our lives to the fullest our tales will live forever.
Description: I can’t see a better way to express the Stoic philosophy than a bunch of skulls. For the last 6 years, I have been reading and contemplating the Stoic philosophy, especially by Marcus Aurelius. It’s not just that makes sense but it makes me feel inspired to live the ‘today right now’ in a sublime way. This is my way to share this faith journey in a different way… “Soon or later, expecting it or not, rich or poor, want it or not”… “We all are going to die one day” –memento mori-
