Summary

There is a morbid theme running through the music of Johnny Cash. His deep, haunting voice is rarely far from a lyric about death or murder or loss or grief. He has songs about soldiers killed in Vietnam, songs about dying cowboys on the streets of Laredo, about tragic rifle accidents, songs about salvation and damnation, songs about tragedy and war. Famously, he performed almost his entire career dressed in black—like he was on his way to a funeral.

The memento mori medallion , memento mori signet ring And the memento mori pendant, All these were created to remind us that we must live NOW, while there is still time.

And in today's Ask Daily Stoic, Ryan speaks and answers questions at Sutter Health University on

Stillness is the Key, Challenging people to see what's important, and Creating habits, rituals, and more stoic wisdom to 4,200 healthcare leaders.
