ever flow.........................
56. Take it that you have died today, and your life's story is ended; and henceforward regard what further time may be given you as an uncovenanted surplus, and live it out in harmony with nature.
57. Love nothing but that which comes to you woven in the pattern of your destiny. For what could more aptly fit your needs?
59. Dig within. There lies the well-spring of good; ever dig, and it will ever flow.
61. The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing, in as much as it, too, demands a firm and watchful stance against any unexpected onset.
-Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, Book VII
