Desiderata, By Max Ehrmann

A poem for hard times, Desiderata is Latin, meaning "Things that are yearned for." More closely meaning, "What is essential today?" Wisdom as profound today as it was written nearly a century ago - Desiderata, by Max Ehrmann (1927). May you be well.

A beautiful & thought-provoking reading of a classic. My Dad loved this one, so I grew up with it's wisdom and it still touches and enlightens me in my middle age. Thank you.

This is my favorite poem, thank you for being another voice to share it so I can listen to it every AM🙂

That was incredible. I was a balm to my hurting soul. Thank you.

I have the “Desiderata” framed & on the wall in my kitchen (found in Old Saint Paul’s Chirch, Baltimore,; Dated 1692). But your spoken word was truly a gift. 💝 I will return to absorb more!!

Lovely reminder of what is truly important in life.
