221230 What I learned in my studies this morning 3

Emergencies rise
Crags above a rocky shore.
Steady sails o'ercome. 

Daily Stoic:

Panicking doesn't help. It's assenting to an emotion I can function better without. 

Not that it's easy to act rather than react, but it is necessary if I want to be as effective as I can be in whatever crisis I face. 

Today's Meditation:


Today's Meditation II:


Cf. Stoic cosmopolitanism

Today's Music:

The long day closes by Arthur Sullivan

No star is o’er the lake,
Its pale watch keeping,
The moon is half awake,
Through gray mist creeping,
The last red leaves fall round
The porch of roses,
The clock hath ceased to sound,
The long day closes . . .
