DESIDERATA:
Go placidly amid the noise and haste and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, but without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and ignorant; for they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; for they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always, there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans and 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. However, 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 as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the council of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in times of sudden misfortune. Do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are borne 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, In addition, whether or not it is clear to you; the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive God to be. Moreover, whatever your labours and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful and wonderful world, be cheerful, and strive to be happy.

Accept Me
I am I
Do not change me nor condemn me
nor put me down
Accept me for what I am
No….you need not agree with me
But accept me.
For I an total in being
I have my faults
I have my guilt’s
But that is who I am
Perfect I will never be.
Allow me to be uninhibited
Do not pressure me into feeling
what I do not feel
Accept me when I am flying high
As I will accept you when
you are flying high
Do not put me down….nor make
me feel unhappy about me
I am I
and I like being what I am…
me.

“I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid and more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance, to live so that which came to me as seed goes to the next as blossom and that which came to me as blossom, goes on as fruit."
