The “Burning Babe” Who Makes Your Heart GLOW (Christmas Episode!) | Pneuma Nuggets
Pneuma by Daniel Finneran
12/25/23 • 4 min
“As I in hoary winter night stood shivering in the snow,
Surprised was I with sudden heat which made my heart to glow;
And lifting up a fearful eye to view what fire was near
A Pretty Babe all burning bright did in the air appear.”
Robert Southwell

Don't Live An IMAGINARY Life In The Mind of Others
Pneuma by Daniel Finneran
12/13/23 • 21 min
“We do not content ourselves with the life we have in ourselves and in our own being; we desire to live an imaginary life in the mind of others...”
Blaise Pascal, a French mathematician, inventor, and philosopher, came to this realization about humankind in the 17th century.
It remains as true today as it was back then.
In this episode, we discuss living an “imaginary life” in the mind of others, as opposed to embracing our real existence in the pursuit of truth.
I hope that you enjoy this meditation!

Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad | Fall Asleep With Me
Pneuma by Daniel Finneran
12/05/23 • 34 min
Joseph Conrad (born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski) was a Polish-English novelist.
He was born in 1857 and died in 1924.
His twenty years spent as a sailor in the British merchant navy inspired many of his literary works, among which Heart of Darkness is most highly acclaimed.
In this episode of “Fall Asleep with Me”, I read this work’s opening scene. It takes place on the tranquil waters of the River Thames.

A Reflection on FRIENDS & Remembrance of Things PAST
Pneuma by Daniel Finneran
11/02/23 • 26 min
The inspiration for this episode is a sonnet–a Shakespearean sonnet–with which you’re unlikely to be familiar;
Sonnet 30, you see, isn’t commonly ranked among Shakespeare’s finest works. It’s neither read to romantic lovers, inscribed on elegant tombstones, nor quoted in popular films.
Indeed, you’ll very seldom hear a recitation of its fourteen forgotten lines.
And yet, to our purposes, my dear friend, I think it’s ideally suited.
I hope that you enjoy this meditation on loss, regret, remorse, failure, and–that by which all sadness in life is wiped away–friends.
Do me the honor, my dear friend, of “liking” this episode, subscribing to this channel for daily doses of mindfulness, and sharing it with a friend.
Four Quartets by TS Eliot | The Great Poems Of All Time
Pneuma by Daniel Finneran
10/14/23 • 63 min
Thomas Stearns Eliot (1888 - 1965) was an Anglo-American poet.
A devout Christian, Eliot was an important figure in the Modernist movement that sprang to life in the first quarter of the 20th century.
"Four Quartets", a uniquely sublime work by which all his other poems are eclipsed, addresses the theme of time.
It's a theme on which, as you doubtless know, so many of our meditations here on Pneuma are based.
I think that you'll enjoy it.

“Footfalls Echo In The Memory”: How To Think About And Deal With REGRET
Pneuma by Daniel Finneran
09/26/23 • 27 min
Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the passage which we did not take
Toward the door we never opened
Into the rose-garden.
This is an excerpt from the first poem of TS Eliot’s masterpiece, “Four Quartets”.
It is, in my opinion, the most memorable part of “Burnt Norton”.
In this episode, we’re going to meditate on the theme that Eliot presents: Regret.
Be sure to listen to my prior episode about remorse.
What is the one thing you regret most?
If you care to divulge, send me an email at [email protected] or comment below.
Be sure to visit my sister project, @finneranswake on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts. I think you’ll really enjoy it; Finneran’s Wake is where I have deep, probing, provocative conversations with a multitude of extraordinary people from all walks of life.

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë | Fall Asleep With Me
Pneuma by Daniel Finneran
09/14/23 • 33 min
Charlotte Brontë (nom de plume "Currer Bell") was an English novelist.
She lived between 1816 - 1855.
She was the eldest (and most gifted) of an immensely talented trio of sisters, which included Emily and Anne.
Her most famous work, “Jane Eyre” is also one of the finest in the English language.
In this episode of “Fall Asleep With Me”, I read one of my favorite scenes: that in which our eponymous heroine, Jane Eyre, encounters the dashing Mr. Rochester in the garden at dusk.
