Meditations of Marcus Aurelius (Book 2)

If you desire to master pain
Unroll this book and read with care,
And in it find abundantly
A knowledge of the things that are,
Those that have been, and those to come.

And know as well that joy and grief
Are nothing more than empty smoke.

A reading by Chris Krause, based upon the Gregory Hays translation. MP3s available here:

thank you for posting this. The principles while simple to grasp are difficult to transfer to everyday life.

Although practice makes less imperfect.

I like your voice. But i think your reading with to much inflection. If thats the right term.
