Meditations of Marcus Aurelius (Book 4)

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:

hey i think it is alright, but when you read it you have times to pause and think about it.

BUT so surprised that not many people have seen it tho

[justwannamakeluv]

the comments I have seen for this make no sense and one can only conclude that ignorance is at play here. YOu have done a great service by posting the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius. We are approaching a global dark age and this information if utilized will help some.
