Ideally I would listen to it at night going to sleep, but would have to someone put it on a disc to do that.<br /><br />I've looked into some guided meditations at the library to see if there are some I like. Thanks for opening my ears to this.<br /><br />Emily, I was thinking a printed copy at work in a folder somewhere that I could open up like smelling salts when the need arose.Fiona Ferrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01493105915055099408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-46840654875333142442010-08-14T05:16:05.364+12:002010-08-14T05:16:05.364+12:00I adore Desiderata and keep a copy of it on my des...I adore Desiderata and keep a copy of it on my desk at work. I love "go placidly..." and I love the part about avoiding vexing people. And I love the part about my right to be here. And I love the part about.....Well, you get my point. Thank you so much for the reminder. If only we could all live by the Deserata. I wounder if it really was found in a old church or if that is an urban myth. My copy states that it was. Charming thought.

Thank you for sharing it with us. <br /><br />I especially like the part about loud, aggressive people being vexing to the spirit.
