517: That Time in Gion
Find renewal daily in the ordinary. Reconcile with the risk of correction. Seek astonishment in the world and by that nectar be thriven. Cleverness yields no such nourishment.

The span, it provokes as ever. Calls you onward, inward.
O presence and depth, unhesitant further.
Enthral the skin
Drench the mind in peace,
the soul in Ecstasy.

Be resourceful with your action. Success is a reality that needs to be acted on.

512
Never under compulsion, out of selfishness, without forethought, without misgivings. No surplus words or unnecessary actions. Let the spirit in you represent a man. Taking up his post like a soldier and patiently awaiting his recall from life. Needing no oath or witness. Cheerfulness. Without requiring other people’s help. Or serenity supplied by others. To stand up straight, not straightened.
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

508: Space
How long you have denied the mind it’s quiet and the skin it’s thrill. The gentle heart, enthralled and contained, the space to replevin and elate.
