—————

If you work at that which is before you,

following right reason seriously,

vigorously,

calmly,

without allowing anything else to distract you,

but keeping your divine part pure, as if you were bound to give it back immediately;

if you hold to this,

expecting nothing, but satisfied to live now according to nature,

speaking heroic truth in every word that you utter,

you will live happy.

And there is no man able to prevent this.

— Marcus Aurelius

Hey! Pay attention!

You might call this a haiku
