My gift to you
Question:
Desiderata gag me with a spoon!
Response:
what’s wrong with posting something for somebody that you know they want to here and that by chance it might just make them feel better? That’s all nothing more nothing less, this one’s for you: They say into your early life, romance came and in this heart of yours burned a flame, a flame that flickered one day and died away, Then with disillusion deep in your eye’s, you learn that fools in love soon grow wise- the years have changed you somehow, I see you now. Smoking, drinking never thinking of tomorrow, nonchalant, dancing, dining with some man in a restaurant- is that all you really want? No, sophisticated lady I know, you miss the love you lost long ago, and when nobody is nigh, you cry.
Response:
You are a child of the universe, you have aright to be here. Go passively within the racing pace and remember what peace there maybe 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 to 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 these 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, don’t be cynical about love, for in the face of all disenchantment it is as pure as the grass. Take kindly to the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture the strength of spirit to shield you in times of trouble, but do not distress yourself with imaginings many fears grow out 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. Therefor be at peace with God whatever you conceive him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul. With all it’s drudgery and burdens it is still a beautiful world. Be careful, strive to be happy.
