While in undergrad, seeking my degree in philosophy, I took 19th Century Kantian Philosophy as a course. That course alone almost destroyed my love for philosophy, but it also seems to be one of two classes I go back to when I need a refresh.

Thanks for the inspiration to revisit!

While the Oversole might be helpful, do be careful of the Undersole, Jason. That being walks in some pretty shady places. 😉 Seriously, though, great post and Haiku today.

Got a laugh out of imagining Emerson pissed off in the afterlife. But yeah, surrendering the ego-self is a huge part of my life learning. Still learning. Glad I can get new soles for the continued journey. Thanks for not crushing me (yet) vengeful gods!

I’m in it for the weird, see you on the other side of normal. We can waffle about our soles/souls.
