Clearing your mind

Thou canst remove out of the way many useless things among those which disturb thee, for they lie entirely in thy opinion.  Marcus Aurelius.  Meditations.  Book 9.


Image: Head of a Togate Statue of the Roman Emperor Diocletian from Asia Minor 295-300 CE that I photographed at the Art Insitute of Chicago in 2016 but was on loan from the J. Paul Getty Villa Museum in Pacific Palisades, California.

Note: Diocletian cleared his mind by delegating to a co-emperor and two subordinate "caesars."
