Notes & Transcript:
William Faulkner, known for his literary prowess, rarely spoke publicly.
-
His Nobel Prize acceptance speech in 1950 was highly anticipated.
-
At the time, global fears were heightened due to the Soviet Union's atomic bomb development.
-
Faulkner challenged poets, authors, and humanity to look beyond the fear of nuclear war.
-
He urged them to innovate and create something new from the human spirit's essence.
Excerpt:
I decline to accept the end of man. It is easy enough to say that man is immortal because he will endure: that when the last ding-dong of doom has clanged and faded from the last worthless rock hanging tideless in the last red and dying evening, that even then there will still be one more sound: that of his puny inexhaustible voice, still talking. I refuse to accept this. I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. The poet's, the writer's, duty is to write about these things. It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past. The poet's voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to help him endure and prevail
From Faulkner's speech excerpt, here are some of the wisest insights:
-Endurance and Immortality: Faulkner rejects the idea that man's existence ends with doom, emphasizing that humanity's true immortality lies not in mere survival but in prevailing against challenges.
-
Human Spirit: He argues that what makes humanity immortal is not just its ability to endure physically, but its possession of a soul capable of compassion, sacrifice, and endurance.
-
Role of the Writer: Faulkner sees the writer's duty and privilege as reminding humanity of its noble qualities—courage, honor, hope, pride, compassion, pity, and sacrifice—which have historically sustained and elevated human existence.
-
Purpose of Poetry and Writing: He believes that literature, particularly poetry, should not only chronicle human history but also serve as a source of strength and support, acting as pillars that help humanity endure and ultimately triumph over adversity.

Reflection questions:
Why do you think the dog couldn’t realize his own amazing achievements?
What do you think the moral of this story is?
Consider this alternate ending:
“That night, the little dog snuggled into a warm bed beside the fire, hugged by all the farmers' children, his belly. That night, the little dog snuggled into a warm bed beside the fire, hugged by the farmer's children, his belly full and as he did the dog thought to himself, “I doubt any dragon ever had it so good.”
Does this change what you think the moral is?
Which ending do you feel is more realistic? Why?
How did the farmer’s family’s acceptance of the dog contrast with the other dogs’ rejection? What does this teach us about the importance of support and belonging?
Have you ever had to give up a dream because it wasn’t actually possible for you? If so, what did you take away from that experience?
Is there anything you wish you were but aren’t? What have you learned in pursuing it? Is there anything holding you back?
What can we learn from this story about embracing our true selves and finding contentment in our own abilities and limitations?

Welcome to the third installment of Speeches and Stories, Lyrics and Letters. This time we are looking at one of my favorite songs ever, The Parting Glass. My favorite rendition is by The High Kings, whose video I have linked below for your enjoyment. There are many, many good versions of the song. It's in the public domain, so you can find lots of covers and all the ones I have seen are really good.

The Lyrics:
Of all the money that e'er I hadI spent it in good companyAnd all the harm I've ever doneAlas, it was to none but meAnd all I've done for want of witTo memory now I can't recallSo fill to me the parting glassGood night and joy be to you allSo fill to me the parting glassAnd drink a health whate'er befallsThen gently rise and softly callGood night and joy be to you allOf all the comrades that e'er I hadThey're sorry for my going awayAnd all the sweethearts that e'er I hadThey'd wish me one more day to stayBut since it fell into my lotThat I should rise and you should notI'll gently rise and softly callGood night and joy be to you allFill to me the parting glassAnd drink a health whate'er befallsThen gently rise and softly callGood night and joy be to you allBut since it fell into my lotThat I should rise and you should notI'll gently rise and softly callGood night and joy be to you allSo fill to me the parting glassAnd drink a health whate'er befallsThen gently rise and softly callGood night and joy be to you allGood night and joy be to you all
Transcript:
In March of 2022, my wife and I were able to go see The High Kings in concert in Breckenridge, CO. We drove up after work, got dinner at an Irish pub, and then went to the venue. Krystal had been to a few concerts before, I haven't really gone to that many, and we had no idea what to expect, so we got there about an hour before the show. And we were the only ones there. Slowly, the venue started filling up. And soon we realized we were the youngest ones there by at least 3 decades, and probably more. The older couple sitting next to us even said, "Aren't you a little young to be enjoying a band like this?" We laughed and Krystal made fun of me for watching them so much. But man did those old people know how to dance!
Anyway, the concert ended with this song and it's a moment I try to re-live as often as possible.
Of all the money that e'er I had
I spent it in good company
And all the harm I've ever done
Alas, it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be to you all
So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate'er befalls
Then gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They'd wish me one more day to stay
But since it fell into my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
Fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate'er befalls
Then gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
But since it fell into my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate'er befalls
Then gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
Good night and joy be to you all
This is a popular wake song in Scotland and Ireland. It seems as if the singer is the person who has passed on. To me, this song tells the story of someone who has good, close friends. But for some reason, the singer is leaving on a quest or death(which is another quest in and of itself). He must engage in his quest. Instead of letting it be a bitter goodbye, he tells his friends: I have enjoyed my time with you & my leaving is not bitter. It's one to be cherished. Yes, I will miss you and you will miss me. Life moves on, that's the joy and beauty of it.
This reminds me of a quote from Vision in Avengers: Age of Ultron. He says, "A thing is not beautiful because it lasts. It's a privilege to be among [humans]." Our time together does not last indefinitely. It is short. And that can be sad and tragic, but it needs to be a reminder to spend your time together well. And when people move on, celebrate the change instead of dreading it.
"Of all the money that e'er I had, I spent it in good company" Financial responsibility is a necessary thing, and simultaneously it's a good thing to spend money and time in the effort of making good memories with people who matter.
"And all the harm I've ever done. Alas it was to none but me" Sometimes we hurt people - and they do get hurt. But that pushes people away and it hurts us even more, really. It's a sign that we are the broken ones. We tell kids all the time, "people bully you because they're jealous." "hurt people hurt people" all those kinds of things.
"and all I've done for want of wit to memory now I can't recall" The phrase "Want-wit" apparently means to do silly, ridiculous, and stupid things. But now, engaging in the quest - those things don't matter so much anymore. They make funny memories, but now there are more important things to consider - that's why we can't recall them now.
"So fill to me the parting glass, good night and joy be to you all!" So, out of the way I have lived, raise a glass to my parting. And do not mourn my leaving/passing - joy to you!!
"So fill to me the parting glass And drink a health whate'er befalls" I'll be honest, I wasn't sure how to interpret this properly, but for me, it means Whatever happens, look to the bright side of things. Difficult things are good things to process and learn from.
"Then gently rise and softly call. Good night and joy be to you all" As before, when difficulties arise, look to the bright side and embrace lessons learned with humility. Pass the torch on when the time comes.
"Of all the comrades that e'er I had, they're sorry for my going away" Friends are sad to no longer be with us. And vice-versa.
"And all the sweethearts that e'er I had, they'd wish me one more day to stay" A more appropriate way of looking at this is to think of my wife - if I were to go on a quest, or pass on in life, then Krystal would give anything to have me back for one more day.
"But since it fell into my lot, that I should rise and you should not" This is looking at the next chapter, be that death or a new quest, as a blessing and an honor.
"I'll gently rise and softly call. Good night and joy be to you all" I'll take this next step with humility and send reminders. I'm saying goodbye with joy.

Greetings from Seneca to his friend Lucilius.
CONTINUE to act thus, my dear Lucilius - set yourself free for your own sake; gather and save your time, which till lately has been forced from you, or filched away, or has merely slipped from your hands. Make yourself believe the truth of my words, - that certain moments are torn from us, that some are gently removed, and that others glide beyond our reach. The most disgraceful kind of loss, however, is that due to carelessness. Furthermore, if you will pay close heed to the problem, you will find that the largest portion of our life passes while we are doing ill, a goodly share while we are doing nothing, and the whole while we are doing that which is not to the purpose. What man can you show me who places any value on his time, who reckons the worth of each day, who understands that he is dying daily? For we are mistaken when we look forward to death+; the major portion of death has already passed, Whatever years be behind us are in death's hands. Therefore, Lucilius, do as you write me that you are doing: hold every hour in your grasp. Lay hold of to-day's task, and you will not need to depend so much upon to-morrow's. While we are postponing, life speeds by. Nothing, Lucilius, is ours, except time. We were entrusted by nature with the ownership of this single thing, so fleeting and slippery that anyone who will can oust us from possession. What fools these mortals be! They allow the cheapest and most useless things, which can easily be replaced, to be charged in the reckoning, after they have acquired them; but they never regard themselves as in debt when they have received some of that precious commodity, - time! And yet time is the one loan which even a grateful recipient cannot repay. You may desire to know how I, who preach to you so freely, am practising. I confess frankly: my expense account balances, as you would expect from one who is free-handed but careful. I cannot boast that I waste nothing, but I can at least tell you what I am wasting, and the cause and manner of the loss; I can give you the reasons why I am a poor man. My situation, however, is the same as that of many who are reduced to slender means through no fault of their own: every one forgives them, but no one comes to their rescue. What is the state of things, then? It is this: I do not regard a man as poor, if the little which remains is enough for him. I advise you, however, to keep what is really yours; and you cannot begin too early. For, as our ancestors believed, it is too late to spare when you reach the dregs of the cask./a Of that which remains at the bottom, the amount is slight, and the quality is vile. Farewell
Auto-generated Transcript:
Hello Dylan, I loved what you had to say about Sam and Frodo and fighting for what's good.
Yeah, really good stuff.
Today on speeches and stories, lyrics and letters, maybe I got that order right.
I want to share with you a letter from Seneca to his friend Lucilius who I don't know anything about Lucilius but Seneca was an ancient Roman guy I think he was high in the courts and maybe worked under Nero pretty closely so he yeah I guess I won't get into his biography
But he is one of the Stoic philosophers, which is a school of philosophy that I've been getting into lately.
Anyway, this is a letter he sends to his friend Lucilius, and it's about saving time. Time management, that kind of thing.
Here we go.
It says, Greetings from Seneca to his friend Lucilius.
Continue to act thus, my dear Lucilius.
Set yourself free for your own sake.
Gather and save your time, which till lately has been forced from you or filched away, or has merely slipped from your hands.
Make yourself believe the truth of my words, that certain movements are torn from us, that some are gently removed, and that others glide beyond our reach.
The most disgraceful kind of loss, however, is that due to carelessness.
Furthermore, if you will pay close heed to the problem, you will find that the largest portion of our life passes while we are doing ill, a goodly share while we are doing nothing, and the whole while we are doing that which is not to the purpose.
What man can you show me who places any value on his time, who reckons the worth of each day, who understands that he is dying daily?
For we are mistaken when we look forward to death.
The major portion of death has already passed.
Whatever years lie behind us are in death's hands.
Therefore, Lucilius, do as you write me, that you are doing.
Hold every hour in your grasp.
Lay hold of today's task, and you will not need to depend so much upon tomorrow's.
While we are postponing, life speeds us by.
Nothing, Lucilius, is ours except time.
We were entrusted by nature with the ownership of this single thing, so fleeting and slippery that anyone who will can oust us from possession.
What fools these mortals be!
They allow the cheapest and most useless things which can easily be replaced to be charged in the reckoning after they have acquired them.
But they never regard themselves as in debt when they have received some of that precious commodity, time.
And yet time is the one loan which even a grateful recipient cannot repay.
You may desire to know how I, who preach to you so freely, am practicing.
I confess, frankly, my expense account balances as you would expect from one who is free-handed but careful.
I cannot boast that I waste nothing, but I can at least tell you what I am wasting and the cause and manner of the loss.
I can give you the reasons why I am a poor man.
My situation, however, is the same as that of many who are reduced to slender means through no fault of their own.
Everyone forgives them, but no one comes to their rescue.
So yeah, this letter has a lot of wisdom.
And like you went through the speech idea by idea, I'm going to do that here with this one.
So back to the beginning.
Continue to act thus, my dear Lou of Silius.
Set yourself free for your own sake.
Gather and save your time, which till lately has been forced from you, filched away, or has merely slipped your hands.
So yeah, that's the idea that there are maybe three ways that you can lose time this valuable resource it's been forced from you which people can do people can steal your time forcefully um which i i guess has the connotation of like you have no consent in it maybe somebody has kidnapped you i don't know something like that um or it can be filched away um to me that implies you have been like asked to do something and maybe you don't want to do it but you're still have some social responsibility to do that and that takes up your time or has merely slipped from your hands and that's completely on you that last option where you have mismanaged your time or you have done you just like waste time to me that looks like doom scrolling i think that's the first example that comes to mind so the idea is just to gather your time and save it up and be aware of those three to your time allotment.
Yeah, moving on.
Make yourself believe the truth of my words, that certain moments are torn from us, that some are gently removed, and that others glide beyond our reach.
Again, just a rewording of what he said before.
The most disgraceful kind of loss, however, is that due to carelessness.
Yeah, the doom scrawling is disgraceful, says Seneca.
Potentially.
I mean, he didn't have dim scrolling back then.
Anyway.
Yeah, that's the worst one because it's your own fault, right?
And if you're squandering your time, then that's disgraceful because time is the most valuable resource you have.
And if you want to live a good life and pursue good things, wasting time is taking away from those goals.
And you have to be cognizant of that.
Balancing that with knowing what rest looks like and not labeling that as wasted time, which can be hard.
But yeah, thinking of wasted time as a disgrace is kind of weighty language, but I think it's helpful to ponder.
It goes on.
Furthermore, If you will pay close heed to the problem, you will find that the largest portion of our life passes while we are doing ill, a goodly share while we are doing nothing, and the whole while we are doing that which is not to the purpose.
So again, another set of three.
The most amount of our time passes while we are doing ill.
I don't think he means that we are committing crimes or doing something against other people, but ill is just probably anything that isn't worth it.
Anything that's not actively benefiting you and the other people around you in a constructive and moral way.
The other, the second option here is a goodly share.
passes while we are doing nothing.
So yeah, that's just, again, probably mismanaged time.
Or maybe you've set up your calendar in a way that you find yourself waiting around for things in waiting rooms or something like that, just like you're doing nothing, you're waiting around for the next thing.
And then the whole passes us while we are doing that which is not to the purpose.
The purpose, we could just substitute The Quest.
I think that fits in pretty good.
What man can you show me who places any value on his time, who reckons the worth of each day, who understands that he is dying daily?
Yeah, so it's just rare and therefore worthwhile to really get a grasp of what your time looks like and how much you have and how much you're wasting.
Because most people don't do that.
And if you are someone who does that, you're you're ahead for we are mistaken when we look forward to death the major portion of death has already passed whatever years lie behind us are in death's hands that is a cool idea that whatever has already gone on and is over that is what is dead and the idea that death is something in the future is misguided considering that death is always right on our heels, eating up our past, eating up the previous moment, the previous hour.
And so we really only have the present and maybe the future, but even that's not promised.
So make sure you're managing your present well, I think is a moral you can take from that.
He says, lay hold of today's task and you will not need to depend so much on tomorrow's.
While we are postponing, life speeds us by.
I think that's the same idea as don't put off to tomorrow what you could do today. That's just a wiser way of deciding what to do when so that you're not postponing and never getting anything done and procrastinating because that's when life passes us by.
Life speeds by, says Seneca.
Nothing, Lucilius, is ours except time.
We were entrusted by nature with the ownership of this single thing, so fleeting and slippery that anyone who will can oust us from possession.
So it's our only real possession, is what Seneca says, that anyone relationship we have like oh this is my brother this is my girlfriend this is my husband whatever that's something that can be taken from you they can die they can disown you something like that um any material possession clearly can be taken from you that has been so apparent to me driving around looking at the destruction that these tornadoes have been causing here in Omaha lately it's crazy it's so sobering because the previous weeks i would drive around and be like oh these houses are so nice what what would it be like if i was able to make this kind of money and then that same neighborhood gets racked with tornadoes and houses are demolished like down to the ground and i need to take a step back and be like wow i was really taking what i had for granted and material possession is just an illusion
It can be taken from you.
But really, the only thing that we have is time.
And so that's just a reframing of what resources you have and what things you should really be paying attention to.
What fools these mortals be?
They allow the cheapest and most useless things, which can easily be replaced, to be charged in the reckoning after they have acquired them.
They never regard themselves as in debt when they have received some of that precious commodity, time.
And yet time is the one loan which even a grateful recipient cannot repay.
So yeah, again, thinking of time as more valuable than possessions.
I think another Stoic philosopher puts it this way, where so many people would often be quick to litigate or get in a fight about somebody who stole something from them, their possession or somebody who hurt someone they love um but again those things can be taken away but time is the only thing that is really ours and so when you are given the gift of having extra time by somebody you should be all that much more grateful than the gift of i don't know of hamburger for example um thinking and just re-evaluating the value of time and how important it is to use all the other resources we have without time everything else is pointless right anyway you may desire to know how i who preach to you so freely and practicing i confess frankly my ex my expense account balances as you would expect from one who is free-handed but careful so my expense account balances
That might be a translation thing, but I think that's the idea of having a balanced checkbook.
Your debts are accounted for.
Your resources are accounted for.
You really know what's going on.
And he attributes that to being free-handed but careful.
Free-handed, I think, just means generous, right?
You're holding things loosely.
You can give things to people who need it.
But you're also careful and not someone who will be easily taken advantage of.
I think those are good goals there generosity and cautious caution I cannot boast that I waste nothing but I can at least tell you what I am wasting and the cause and the manner of the loss I can give you the reasons why I am a poor man so he's saying he's not perfect but at least he's not someone who doesn't know where their money's going they're like why am I always struggling he like knows what's going on.
He knows where his time is going,
which is apparently the first step in the direction of finding more wealth in time
and money.
You have to know where it's all going.
He says, I can at least tell you what I am wasting.
So yeah,
being aware,
being self-aware,
being reflective on these things,
introspective,
I think,
as well,
really helps.
He says,
my situation,
however,
is the same as that of many who are reduced to slender means through no fault of
their own.
Everyone forgives them, but no one comes to their rescue.
So it seems like something happened to him.
He lost a lot of money.
I think it was Seneca who was a slave.
No.
Yes.
Seneca, I think it was either him or Epictetus, but I think Seneca was a slave.
So he really knows...
I think that's probably the perspective that informs a lot of this thinking.
He knows what material wealth is and how easily it can be taken from you, how meaningless it is.
He knows what is actually valuable because when everything is stripped away,
he still had the commodity of his own time,
even as a slave.
So that's interesting.
Last bit here, he says, what is the state of things then?
It is this.
I do not regard a man poor if the little which remains is enough for him.
That's good.
Another way of saying that is wealth is not monetary success.
It's being content with what you have.
It's not wanting things.
Yeah, wealth is not having things.
It's the lack of wanting things.
So you can have a lot of stuff and want a lot more, and that's not a very wealthy state of mind.
But if you have a lot or if you have little, it doesn't matter.
As long as you're content and you're not actively like,
ah,
I wish I had this,
I wish I had that,
then I think that's a lot more wealthy state of mind,
right?
Scarcity versus abundance.
He says, I advise you, however, to keep what is really yours, time, and you cannot begin too early.
Same with investing money, but that's interesting that he draws the parallel.
Or at least for me, there's a parallel to be drawn.
That investing early financially is always better than investing later,
but same thing with investing your time wisely.
You cannot begin too early, he says.
For as our ancestors believed, it is too late to spare when you reach the dregs of the cask.
Of that which remains at the bottom, the amount is slight and the quality is vile.
Farewell.
So yeah, if you've drank, drunken, drank and...
a cask,
I'm assuming,
of wine,
that the dregs at the bottom,
almost at the very end,
like the last inch,
you know,
is bitter and vile,
he says.
And maybe that's the idea that in life,
if we wait to the end of our life,
our ability to do things is a lot worse and our quality of doing them is vile.
So we should be
Conscious of our time and our limits and knowing that while we're in the prime of
our lives,
we should be taking advantage of this and our health and all of these things that
will be gone later in life.
If we are just saving up for retirement and we want to go travel the world,
but then we get there and there's like a big staircase,
you know,
and some monument and you can't even like get in because you're too feeble.
That's a tragedy, I would say.
And I think that's the idea here.
that that which remains at the bottom, the amount is slight and the quality is vile.
And he says for a while.
Anyway, there's a bit of an analysis on epistle number one on saving time from Seneca to his friend Lucilius.
I hope this all got recorded.
If not, I'm going to cry.
See you next time

Hello everyone!
Thanks for listening to this month’s episode. November’s guest is Ryan Parmenter, my former neighbor and good friend. He is a music instructor and teaches people how to play various instruments and understand music theory. In this episode, we discuss fantasy, music theory, the enneagram, and even church hurt.
Unfortunately, I was having a back spasm at the time of recording, so you will hear me groan and I ended up laying on the floor while speaking with Ryan. Additionally, the recording software also malfunctioned and cut out a lot of what Ryan was saying. I left these in for authenticity.
Enjoy!

Hello everyone,
The episodes with my wife are most definitely my favorite to record. You don’t see the bickering before I hit record, with my full-blown tantrum about not having a studio-level recording set up. But once we hit record, I have a blast. Together, people-watching and then making up backstories for these random strangers is one of our favorite hobbies. Reddit is the perfect place for us to spend hours entertaining ourselves in people-observing from the comfort of our home.

In April's episode, I sit down with my brother Collin to discuss being skeptical. I don't know about you, but I have a tendency to take people at their word - exactly what they say is both true and all there is to it. But Collin has always been what I call a skeptic. He questions everything and wants to know about everything before making a final decision. It's a great conversation. Enjoy!

In today's episode, I sit down (virtually) with my brother Keato n to discuss a book, A Tale of Three Kings, which has immensely influenced both of our lives. There is power in meekness and brokenness. The story of David, Saul, and Absalom has a lot to offer in terms of insight into our lives today.
