221123 What I learned in my studies this morning 3

Snow falls in winter.
No shock. Life goes on despite.
Saw it coming. Natch. 

Daily Stoic:


It's cold in winter. It's hot in summer. Jobs come and go. People live. People die. Things break. Things grow. 

All these are to be expected. How much easier to bear if I remember this. 

Today's Way to be More Stoic:

Today's Music:

Hymn to St Cecilia by Benjamin Britten

In a garden shady this holy lady 
With reverent cadence and subtle psalm, 
Like a black swan as death came on 
Poured forth her song in perfect calm . . . . . . 
Blessed Cecilia, appear in visions 
To all musicians, appear and inspire: 
Translated Daughter, come down and startle 
Composing mortals with immortal fire.
