I’ve been trying my hand at calligraphy (pun intended), and also taking the time to focus and work with the Stoic texts. It provides a nice, focused time for reflection.
The whole line is
“Thou has but a short time left to live. Live as on a mountain; for whether it be here or there, matters not provides that, wherever a man live, he live as a citizen of the World-City.”
— Meditations, Book X.15
Mountain Stoic 
Good work.
Now, I expect a fully illuminated copy of the Meditations on my desk this Friday.
Ha!
Beautiful quote. Love the World-City concept. Your handwriting is solid too.
