About this episode

An old man's reflections on duty, regret, and mortality while preparing firewood for a winter he may never see.

Send us Fan Mail An old man spends his days cutting and stacking firewood for a winter he may never see through. As the pile grows, so do his reflections on duty, regret, mortality, and the quiet work of becoming whole. A bleak and Stoic story about discovering that life is not measured by what is finished, but by what is faithfully tended. #CopinghagenPodcast #StoicStories #TheReturn #LiteraryPodcast #WinterWoodpile A copinghagen production https://copinghagen.com/10/
