A few years ago I came across a poem by Max Ehrmann, called Desiderata. I was fascinated by how he put together a common sense manual for living our lives, and the more I read it the more I’ve tried to incorporate it into my daily existence. It just makes sense, but it’s sense that often abandons us when life or emotion gets in the way. I revisit these words when I need grounding, and sometimes guidance. Please take a moment, absorb the message, and Strive to be Happy (footnote, Max Ehrmann, 1927). Oh, and my biggest challenge is listening to the dull and ignorant…just me, mind you.
Just Taking Kindly the Counsel of Years,
Mike
In My Life...
