An excerpt from Deserata
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of Spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Beyond a wholesome disipline, be gentle with yourself.
|
| You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees & the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you the, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. |
| Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors & aspirations, in the noisy 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. |
| Found in Old St. Paul's Church, |
| in Baltimore, Maryland circa. 1692 |
