May you be your own master

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 Seneca:

Gentle guitar

Intense meditation

My wish is this: may you be your own master; may your mind, which now driven this way and that by its concerns, come at last to a halt, sure and content in itself; may you come to understand those true goods that belong to you in the moment you understand them, and so feel no need of additional years. In order to rise above necessities, to gain one's discharge, to be free, one must live a life that is already complete.

Seneca, Letters on Ethics, 32.5
