I invite you to take a few deep breaths as you choose your preferred music below, enjoy the stunning scenery, and reflect on the following words of wisdom from Seneca:
Contemporary classical
Medieval mandolin
Tell me how natural it is to extend one's mind into the infinite. The human mind is a great and noble thing. It allows no limits to be set to itself except those that it also shares with the divine...Its true homeland is one that encompasses the heights and the entirety of the world—the vault of heaven itself.
Seneca, Letters on Ethics, 102.21

a favorite quote, interesting reconciling the modern stoic notion of the rational mind and this image. Think the ancient rational mind is in modern terms a suprarational mind.
