Happy day to you, everyone!
Our Daily Dharma today is the same as the topic for tonight’s virtual meditation and discussion group. Here it is:
“Our topic for group tonight comes out of a passage from The Meditations, by Marcus Aurelius (the Roman emperor from the second century) which I find to be most beautiful and inspiring:
‘Remember how long you have been putting these things off, and how often you have received an opportunity from the gods and have not made use of it. By now you ought to realize what cosmos you are a part of, and what divine administrator you owe your existence to, and that an end to your time here has been marked out, and if you do not use this time for clearing the clouds from your mind, it will be gone, and so will you.’
In preparation for group tonight, here are some things to consider if you feel so moved:
- What does your life call you to do, to accomplish, or to experience, that you’re not doing?
- What does your heart / your centered nature desire to have, to experience, or to give, in the remainder of your life?
- What clouds remain in your mind that need clearing?
I look forward to discussing these things with you this evening! In the meantime, have a beautiful day and a strong practice day. See you tonight!”
If you’d like to join us for meditation and for the conversation tonight, just let me know. Either way, be well and have a beautiful day!
In peace,
David
