Take the shortest route, the one that nature planned—to speak and act in the healthiest way. Do that, and be free of pain and stress, free of calculation and pretension.

(Parenthetical? “Sod off I’m working on it.”

“51. Run ever the short way; and the short way is the way of Nature, that leads to all that is most sound in speech and act. For a resolve such as this is a release from troubles and strife, from all mental reservation and affectation.”

Excerpt From: Marcus Aurelius.

There it is.

“Fire you could fight, and even half-way tame; water went where it chose, taking a hundred years to wear away a rock, or a minute and a half to pick the same rock up and carry it two miles distant.” Page 20.

As a Fire Sign, I must respect that quote. Nothing to do with anything, carry on.

“The sudden events that blind us with their light had roots in the slowly-turning decades.” Page 30.

Reading that line while watching peaceful, protests turn violent? Perfect pitch juxtaposition, kind of brings it all into focus.

“But it had been like trapping a mouse and releasing it miles away, then returning home to find a dragon in the kitchen.” Page 160.

The extra fine, British dry wit. Or extra dry, fine British wit.

“And one thing joes learn quickly is that those who write the rules rarely suffer their weight.” Page 305.

Fun. Also, looking ahead?
