Default One of my all time favorites...thanks Linda!

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! :)

Amber, this is the experience I had when reading it.... It was like I could slow down a little and relax, just savor and appreciate the moment and who I am.... Find that calm amidst the chaos....

Thanks! I like the idea of hanging it on your wall.... I think I'll print it out and do that too. :)

****And as a child, a gold framed poster, on parchment paper, hung first in our living room and then in our dining room over the table where I would sit for hours not only eating but also doing homework, sharing coffee with my mother, making crafts and writing an occasional peace of poetry or prose.

Naturally, Amber, our lives have that divinely inspired connection. AND its terrific to share that connection with Linda, Dien and everyone else!

What a delight!

AND! I just quoted the opening line in an article I wrote a week ago, and a reader asked for the entire piece, which I found and emailed him.

I love when pieces are knit together so gloriously!

Thanks, Linda!

With Purpose and Passion,

JULIE
