The value of change
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
Is one afraid of change? Why, what can come about without change? And what is nearer and dearer to universal nature? Can you yourself take a hot bath unless the firewood suffers change? Can you be nourished unless your food suffers change? Can anything else of value be accomplished without change? And do you not see, then, that change in yourself is of a similar nature, and similarly necessary to universal nature?
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 7.18

The pairing of Marcus Aurelius' wisdom with beautiful music and imagery created a reflective experience. I appreciated the gentle reminder of the necessity and naturalness of change in our lives.
Excellent work Brittany. Thank you! From each breath to the next, life is an unending symphony of change. Until our last breath, nothing exists without being subject to change for us. This too shall pass, as is a well established. Nothing!
