Coming Out the Other Side
We come out the other side on many things, don’t we? Troubles. Problems.
Stray Thoughts - April 2026
A smattering of stray thoughts I’ve had this month. This is brand new for April and will be the inaugural post for Stray Thoughts.
Morning Meditation
“When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: the people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous and surly. They are like this because they can’t tell good from evil. But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil, and have recognized that the wrongdoer has a nature related to my own — not of the same blood and birth, but the same mind, and possessing a share of the divine. And so none of them can injure me. No one can implicate me in ugliness. Nor can I feel angry at my relative, or hate him.”
~ Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, Book 2
