DESIDERATA ----- LATIN FOR "THINGS DESIRED"

Every once in a while, I am reminded of something from the past that I had almost forgotten until somebody reminds me of it once again. Such is the case of the poem Desiderata by Max Ehrmann that I remember having in poster form on the walls of one of my college dorm rooms in the 1960s when I was in the seminary. 

This time, it was my youngest brother, Mark, who discovered it and sent it to me. Even though it was written in 1927 and I loved it enough to put it on my dorm room walls, I had not seen it for over fifty years. To my surprise, it still has a lot to say so I am sharing it with you so that you can hear it, read it or print it.
