sub specie aeternitasis

"Constantly regard the universe as one living being, having one substance and one soul;

and observe how all things have reference to one perception, the perception of this one living being;

and how all things act with one movement; and how all things are the cooperating causes of all things which exist;

observe too the continuous spinning of the thread and the contexture of the web."

- Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (Meditations, 4:38)
