Desiderata

I recently ran across some old prose that was popular when I was in my teens. There is urban legend about this text coming from an old 17th century church in Maryland, but the facts are that it was written by Max Ehrmann sometime in the 1920’s.

The Desiderata written in the early last century, revived in the 60’s and 70’s, still carries a strong message for me today in the beginning of the 21st century.

There has been much ado about the copyright issues surrounding it’s use in the public domain, therefore I will only link to a website that has published it, and hope that you follow it up and enjoy it as much as I do.

Along the journey, from time to time it's important when you feel lost, to re-orient yourself.


This map should keep you in touch with where you are. ;)

I like this metaphor, sharing the road, is respect for diversity, "generous orthodoxy", and just makes sense.


Share the road,


and good journey.

Most of the time the journey is not easy, and there are many perils and pitfalls. Hence the wishful phrase 'good journey' which is somewhat equivalent to 'good luck'. The more we practice grace through the difficulties, the more lucky we become.


At least that's my hope.

Along the journey it's nice to have clear directions from those who have gone before. Not all contradictions are cloaked in the wisdom of paradox, some are just plain stupid.

There are times along the journey that it seems that absolutely nothing is happening, but I suspect that there is really more going on than we are aware of, and going through those times successfully will give us a hind sight to see more clearly.
