The marrow–be it of a bone or of a book–is the deepest, healthiest, most sought-after thing that we can nourish ourselves with.

It is the hidden flake of gold, the buried piece of diamond for which we all dig–than which every lustrous rock and special stone is far less valuable.

In this episode, we draw our inspiration from the great French Renaissance writer, François Rabelais.

In his immortal book, “Gargantua”, Rabelais compares a dog (crowned by Plato as the animal kingdom’s most “philosophical” creature) who is in hungry pursuit of bone marrow, and a human’s attempt to get at the marrow of wisdom.

The aim, in both cases, is to get to the marrow of life–for the nourishment not only of the body, but of the soul as well.
