I have a few favorites and the "Desiderata" is one of them. I never tire of reading those simple, but eloquent words.

Thank you posting this. I have this framed somewhere; lots to unpack yet, so it will probably turn up. Will definitely have it so can read it often.

It is not song, it's a poem, if you hear music, then it must come from your heart after reading it...

Quoting earthytaurus3: I still have a question, though. Am I to take to heart phrases of wisdom ... or to preclude them with the reality of human behavior??
It's up to you how you want interpret the words, it's a good reminder for all of us to be kind to each other, maybe # two paragraph would be of interest to you....

This is great Karen. I would have posted it eventually myself if you hadn't. I already posted 'If' ages ago. Thanks for putting it up.
