A MEDITATION

“ Do not seek to have everything that happens happen as you wish, but wish for everything to happen as it actually does happen, and your life will be serene.

— Musonius Rufus

A reflection

Serenity is a subscription, not a purchase. You renew it each time you align your wishes with what's already happening. Fight reality and you pay in misery; cooperate with it and the day gets quietly generous.
