Poem: Desiderata, A Timeless Inspirational Poem

This profound poem, written in prose style, has been an inspiration to countless folks. It calls forth many of the virtues and values, that the author, Max Ehrmann, wanted to crystalize and learn for himself. Originally, he wrote it just for a notation to keep these ideas before him. He invites us to value ourselves, be authentic and genuine, and always, to remember, that despite how things may seem...it is still a beautiful world. And though it was written nearly 100 years ago, it is just as timely today as the day he wrote it. I hope you take a breath of inspiration and calm from it, as I always have. It has been hung in every place I have called home, since my Mom gave me a copy of it more than 50 years ago; she loved it too. I hope it speaks to you.

Oh this makes me so encouraged about the world, every time I hear this beautiful piece of writing. I didn’t know the author actually wrote it for himself. How very interesting. Thank you for this beautiful reading
