BIG IDEA
Being In Tune With Every Note
FROM THE BOOK“O world, I am in tune with every note of thy great harmony.
For me nothing is early, nothing late, if it be timely for thee. O Nature, all that thy seasons yield is fruit for me.”

Brian's Notes
That’s beautiful.
Remember, all of these quotes are from notes that Aurelius wrote TO HIMSELF in his journal—reminding himself of the values in which he believed. Reading his private journal, we see the commitment and humility with which arguably the world’s most powerful man of his era faced his challenges. It’s quite remarkable to see this Emperor (!) from nearly two thousand years ago struggling with the same challenges we face and reminding himself of the same truths we all strive to embody.
Are you struggling with what Nature is sending your way? You do know that the best way to make God laugh is to tell her your plans, right? :)
So, let’s be in tune with every note of Nature’s great harmony. And know that for us nothing is early, nothing late and that all the seasons of our lives provide us with the perfect fruit for our growth and actualization. THAT is a pathway to flow, ease and joy, no? :)
