Mondays Are For Meditating (With Marcus Aurelius), Pt. 3

Here's another fascinating snippet from Marcus Aurelius (a day late, I might add): "How quickly things disappear, bodies into the universe, memories of them in time" (Meditations, II.12). Meditate on these things!

  1. Umm.. You forgot your Bible correlation Michael:

    Job 9:25 "My days are swifter than a runner, they speed by without seeing happiness."

    James 4:14 "You do not know about tomorrow. What is your life like? For you are a puff of smoke that appears for a short time and then vanishes."

    Days 1:1 "Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives..."

  2. Scott,
    I forgot about the book of "Days", it totally slipped my mind. Thanks for the nice rebuke pal. And next time, I won't forget the "bible correlation". Thanks for being such a superstar Scott.
