For this spiritual exercise I wanted to go to the roof and stargaze, but because it was raining, I watched the rain from my room. There were two quotes from Aurelius’s Meditations that I stood out to me when I read it, the first being: “How quickly all things disappear, in the universe the bodies themselves, but in time the remembrance of them” (1).
