#tds2635 Get away any time you like, by going within

It is always in our power to retire into ourselves and ‘order the mind’. Today, take time to slow read this old meditation by Marcus Aurelius. And if a more modern translation fits you better here, here is the essence of the words above in modern English,

“People try to get away from it all – to the country, to the beach, to the mountains. You always wish that you could too. Which is idiotic: you can get away from it anytime you like. By going within…”

Might you develop new habits that allow more time ‘to go within’?
