Stoicism podcast is now on a new web site at stoicism pod dot com. You can find, for the time being, transcripts as well as individual episode pages. The final meditation in book two of this series was written by Marcus Aurelius during his battle with the quadi. He writes that human life is momentary and subject to the winds of chaos. Our souls are wild and uncontrolled, flitting her and there, doing whatever they want. And our ability to achieve any sort of lasting good or bad, is unknowable.
