in the time before time
I was introduced to a incredible part of my life
by a lady who treated me like a son and her dedication guided me many times
and this next is one of my favourites and I feel has a lot of truth
Desiderata
Go placidly
Amid the noise and the
Haste and remember what
Peace there may be 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 vexatious 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
career however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortune 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 your self, 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 the strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with your self.
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.
There fore be at peace with god, whatever you conceive him to be; and what ever your labours and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul.
