Meditations, Reflections for a Quiet Mind: Selections from Marcus Aurelius
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this quiet reading, we return to Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, written not as a book for others, but as private reflections meant to steady the mind.
These thoughts were composed during moments of uncertainty and responsibility, yet they remain gentle companions for anyone seeking calm, perspective, and rest. Read slowly, and without urgency, they invite reflection without demand, and comfort without distraction.
There is nothing here to solve, nothing to master. Only words offered softly, meant to be taken in at the pace of an evening settling into night.
