Alone in the Dead Marshes

In this essay, Bryan recalls a frightening night where he was lost in a swamp as a teenager. Reflection and journaling helped him to more fully understand this event and others. Reflection and journaling have been a big part of Bryan’s adulthood and in this essay, he offers insights into the practice of both. We hope you will enjoy this episode entitled, “Alone in the Death Marshes,” written by Dr. Bryan Gill and read to you by Brad Hill.

“No Man is an Island.”

No man is an island entire of itself;

every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;

if a clod be washed away by the sea,

Europe is the less,

as well as if a promontory were,

as well as any manner of thy friends or of thine own were;

any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind.

And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;

it tolls for thee. John Donne,
