This journey led me to Robert Pirsig’s Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, which resonated deeply. In my latest reflection, I explore how confronting mortality redefined my perception of quality and how Pirsig’s insights affirmed this new perspective.

I invite you to read my thoughts and share your own experiences!

Fiction isn't necessarily my thing though, I can get big picture ideas but struggle with the details. What do y'all think?
