Hi Linda!

Seeing your post brought a smile to my face. The Desiderata touched my heart many years ago. I have it printed on parchment paper and showcased beautifully in an elegant gold frame. It hangs in it's place of honor just about 2 feet away from my computer.

When I relax my eyes and take them off the screen for a few moments, my eyes usually 'rest' on The Desiderata. It is a wonderful philosophy to live by.

I read somewhere that people who read The Desiderata experience a 'calming feeling'. Interesting. I know it usually does it for me when Life is chaotic.

Thanks for posting it. For those who aren't familar with it, I believe that it is certainly worthy of an introduction. A great piece of writing! :)
