My motto is 'Have Axe(s) will travel'!.... borrowed from the 60's T.V. western 'Paladin'- starring the late, great Richard Boone. - Gordon Perry, pictured on 'My Treehouse' link below, Looks alot like Boone did in his prime.
The Desiderata
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is ; many people strive for high ideals and every-
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt, the universe is unfolding as it should.
Go placidly amid the noise and 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 thier stories.
Avoid loud and aggressive people, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with
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 own career, how-
ever humble, it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your busi-
ness affairs ; for the world is full of trickery.
where life is full of heroism. Be yourself, especially, do not fiegn affection. Neither be cynical about
love for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. Take kindly the
counsel of the years ; gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield
you in sudden misfortune. Do not distress yourself with imaginings ; many fears are born of fatigue
and lonliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the
universe ; no less than the trees and stars, you have a right to be here.
Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you concieve God to be ; and whatever your labors and
aspirations in the noise and confusion of life, keep peace with your soul. With all its sham,
drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy.

*This note was on the framed document that I copied. There are web sites that dispute this - crediting the poet Max Ehrmann. I prefer the statement on the document! ...... It has a satisfying enigmatic quality that punctuates the mystery lacking in todays world of noise & haste. Thanx all the same Max!
