The delight of following nature
One-Minute Meditation
I invite you to take a few deep breaths as you choose your preferred music below, enjoy the stunning natural scenery, and reflect on the following words of wisdom from Marcus Aurelius:
Gentle guitar
Intense meditation
And remember this, that philosophy wishes nothing other than what your nature wishes, whereas you were wishing for something else which is not in accordance with nature. Now what could be more delightful than to follow nature? And is it not on account of such delight that vulgar pleasures seduce us? Well, see whether elevation of mind, freedom, simplicity, goodness of heart, and piety afford you greater delight. For what is more delightful than wisdom itself, when you consider how sure of touch and how happy in all its undertakings is the faculty of understanding and knowledge?
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 5.9
