Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad | Fall Asleep With Me
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
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.

Don't Live An IMAGINARY Life In The Mind of Others
“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!
