This is truly a wonderful mediations on the Meditations. So true, what's matter is doing what we are here to do between birth and death. that is living well and so dying well; as Socrates said all life is truly a preparation for a good death

Thanks for reading, William! Couldn’t agree more. It seems every philosophy worth its salt is pointing to this same truth. Different fingers pointing at the same moon, so to speak.

This is really amazing. Realizing the finitude of life brings us to the now and here. Sitting in a library in a town in India, reading someone's Colorado trail experience with a Roman emperor's book and being able to relate to every word of it is just mind-boggling for me. How connected are we across time and space!
