An armour of calm in turbulent times

Desiderata - a poem by Max Ehrmann, has long been a source of calm for me. It puts life in simple, practical perspective and serves as a reminder of what is truly important.

I first became acquainted with Desiderata through the Zen Pencils webcomic a number of years ago. Ever since, it has been a close friend to me, helping me out in tough times, firming my convictions on days when I grew unsure, reminding me of that which is important.

I think that in this hate and rage-filled milieu of ours, these words are more valuable than ever. I hope that Desiderata will serve you the way it has served me.

Again, sorry about my clunky editing. I used Canva to make this.
