DESIDERATA. ......”neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity & disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass “. #rocktober #allyouneedislove @Cinfhen @BarbaraBB

"Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story....."

I want to post the entire poem but character length prevents. I read this everyday and love the wisdom. #DontStopBelievin #RockinMay #Desiderata #Namaste

ValerieAndBooks I love this poem, too! I like the idea of having a framed version of it. 8y

Jess_Read_This @ValerieAndBooks I hung it in our guest/main bathroom and have gotten such good feedback from people that have visited our house and read it. It's one of my favorites. I often find myself thinking or repeating several phrases. I got this from an Etsy shop. (edited) 8y
