SUMMER WISH - Desiderata (Means Peace)
THAT IS SUCH A GOOD THOUGHT…
_____________________________
[Following is my summer wish for you – Desiderata (meaning Peace)(author unknown):
Perhaps you will read it over carefully at your desk and think about it over a coffee; maybe you will print it out and fold it up neatly and place it in your wallet and bring it out to read as you lounge beside a lake somewhere in the weeks ahead; or perhaps it will resonate with you as you take a quiet moment somewhere in Europe? Wherever or whenever, I do encourage you to really, deeply think on these things that are wished for you and seek to live them. Debra]
DESIDERATA (Means Peace)
Go placidly,
Amid the noise and 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 the dull and ignorant; they
too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to
the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own
career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs for the world is full of trickery. But
let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high
ideals: and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not
feign affection, neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity
and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and
loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the
Universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And
whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it
should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever
your labours and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with
your soul, with all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams it is still a beautiful
world.
Be careful. Strive to be happy.
Author unknown (but very wise)
“THAT IS SUCH A GOOD THOUGHT”,
Thoughts worth reading, thinking, repeating and embracing.
"Don’t forget until too late that the business of life is not business, but living."
