Samuel Barber - Adagio for Strings

Desiderata - Max Ehrmann
Another inspirational poem set to music ;) if you like this check out my other vids, feel free to comment.

Go placidly amid the noise and the 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 to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or 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, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as 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.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
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 and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

I will never forget the sacrifice that Stains the dog made for our cupcakes in the war.

Hi there!

We simply adore your video which amazingly underlines Desiderata. We have already watched it many times and feel each time very inspired by it. Being professional translaters, we now have the idea to spread this text on internet in the following languages: French, German, Spanish, Italian and Russian. Would you be so kind as to help us with the technical side of it? In advance many thanks, Traductions Langues

Hi Tweeklet, It's every day, a pleasure to learn your words, with this sensational music. Thank's so much from France ;-)

Deeply moving. My cat is now going to slit his wrists. (joke) Many thanks for the great post! ☺

[John Scally]

Wow.

Still talking about WWII like it was yesterday.

Somehow, I doubt the so called "Fritz" was involved in WWII, so saying he really lost anything it pointless.

[Dave Sherratt]

Your video compliments the music. Well done you. Great job. This music has to be one of my all time easy listeners, along with concerto for the flute and harp, but only with James Galway..

[nh6milhistory]

Well you did lose the war Fritz.

That's bound to make you feel like a hopeless loser.

I concur... I heard this music a couple of months ago on another Youtube video and tracked it back to the source. Merging it with Max Erhmann's words is brilliant, and the landscape photography lends it spaciousness and timelessness. I love hearing the music playing again and again in my waking and dreaming mind.
