Thinking about all of you, and about harmony.
I will write soon...
for now, a friend of mine shared a quote that I thought you would all appreciate...
"He who lives in harmony with himself, lives in harmony with the universe."
Marcus Aurelius
Mr. Aurelius was emperor of Rome 150 AD.
The concept and power of harmony has always existed. It is not forgotten, just buried under so much noise in the world.
There is more noise than ever as a result of technology, transparency, and access to data.
I suspect that it has never been harder to focus our minds and decipher our peace than it is today. And yet, with all of this technology and access to knowledge, man remains an emotional and imperfect being... searching for balance.
Even in the world of "mindfulness" or "spirituality" the vast amounts of options can be overwhelming, and the entire genre feels over-done or over-marketed.
This is why I favor harmony and my understanding of the IS, the WANT, and the WISH.
It gives me something extremely simple, and absolutely true
to build from...
to relate to...
to focus on...
to frame with...
It centers my mind and my heart...
It helps me steer.
It always points me in the right direction.
Stay away from the WISH,
Embrace the IS,
Drive for the WANT...
in every moment...
"He who lives in harmony with himself, lives in harmony with the universe." M.A.
I feel the absolute truth of it in my soul.
Nestor
