I take a bunch of pills every morning. I also read Marcus Aurelius with my coffee. What is funny about that, is I find myself not wanting to read him, like a child who does not want to take medicine. I know he speaks the truth, but the truth he speaks is different from the life I have lived, in many ways, although I am perhaps closer than many.
So this morning I decided to consider him part of my morning nutritional regimen. He is part of my morning medicine.
A short quote, which actually can go many ways without his further context: “The business of a healthy eye is to see everything that is visible, not to demand no color but green. . .”
He is slowly working his magic with me, I think, although I am kicking and screaming all the way.
