Those are wise words from the distant past.  Especially, when one considers  Marcus Aurelius ruled Rome in 161 - 180 AD

I like the look of the scene you have pictured today.  I don't see that in my area but I can drive up north for an hour or so and see something similar.

Paul, This reminds me of the annoying mother-in-law who tried to change her children's decision about a townhouse they really wanted. In front of us she told them it's not really the one they should buy. But, they had the power over their own minds and bought it!

Hello Paul - wise words.  The power of the mind can be lost without focus.  And your photo reinforces that for me.  Is it the forest?  Or the trees?

Good morning, Paul... so, so true! Everything starts from us. And that's all that we can control... ourselves and how we choose to respond to what the external forces bring to our doorstepl.
