240603 What I learned in my studies this morning 4*
Today's Meditation(s):
Discourses, 2.16.32-33 (Waterfield)
I love that I find this as I explore a distant land, looking for marvels. Mrs. Student and I are traveling, not to Athens, though. Still, I was able to see bits from the Acropolis in a museum this morning. It was my favorite part of the day.
I even got a picture of some famous busts of famous philosophers: Socrates, Antisthenes, Chrysippus, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius.
I meditated long on Bucakroo Banzai's wisdom before we left: No matter where you go . . . there you are.
Or, in more hifalutin' language:
Or, from Seneca (Letters from a Stoic, CIV):
I've worked hard to put myself in a good place for this trip. I didn't want to be unsatisfied because I brought myself along on my super cool adventure.
