THINK thyself fit and worthy to speak, or to
do anything, that is according to Nature,
and let not the reproach, or report of some that
may ensue upon it, ever deter thee. If it be right
and honest to be spoken or done, undervalue not
thyself so much, as to be discouraged from it.
As for them, they have their own rational overruling
part, and their own proper inclination :
which thou must not stand and look about to
take notice of, but go on straight.
MARCUS AURELIUS. MEDITATIONS. Book x. 24.
Time for me to step up and talk about some of the things that I hold dear... next Spring we are gardening in a sustainable fashion big time! Time to put the "live according to nature" part of Stoicism really into practice and kick it into high gear!
