Meditations 1.17:

	That I had a vivid and often-repeated sense of what it is
	to live in accord with nature, and if I fell short of this
	ideal, that it is my own fault and due to my failure to
	observe the reminders that I've been given by the gods.
	
What is this sense of what it is like to live in accord with nature? I
can't really claim to have experienced an innate sense like this. I can't
tell if I am just deficient in this regard or if I am misunderstanding
what this sense is about.

This is kind of where I wish I had a community to learn from. Just reading
these books and thinking about them feels insufficient at times, this
being one of them. I went on a Stoic discord server, but didn't find it
very beneficial and later left. I should put some more thought into this
and see if I can't come up with something helpful.

Still working our way though this wintry weather. Roads and trails will be
too wet for me to ride tomorrow or the next day, so I'm hoping to start
riding again next week. Would be really good to start again soon, as being
this long without it makes me nervous.

I would have posted sooner than this, but honestly, I didn't really have
much to say. I am trying out Niri(1), but have to ask, what does the name
mean? I haven't found an answer to this. Other than the mystery of the
name, I have to say it's been a good experience. I was convinced to try it
because I had already dabbled with it before and had a generally good
impression of it, but recently read it had better resource handling and
battery life for laptops, so that sounded perfect for me. We'll see. I'll
give it a month and let you all know (lol, as if there were an all to this
phlog).
