Used for: Daily grounding; life philosophy reference point Praised: Short but layered — reveals something new on each reading; deeply grounding

"I love the Desiderata. I have it on my door and I've had it since I was a teenager and everywhere I move I paste it there. It's a very short poem but each line I find something new in it every time I read it and I find it really grounding."
