  • i remember 40 yrs ago listening to this

    and in 1997 I was sitting in a truck having lost all possesions materially speaking

    and I was thinking of suicide and the second later this song came up at the radio

    the universe sent me this message many times

  • @ChantHareKrishna Hi . . I was poking around the I'net to see if something I wrote a long time ago was still out there in the world. Your comments are very heartwarming and makes feel very good about having written the music. It was a very blessed time in my life and great fun working with Les. Best, Fred Werner

  • @fritzvonh The music to Desiderata is beautiful - it touched me deeply when I first heard it many years ago and it still sends shivers down my spine to this day! Thank you for your wonderful and inspiring creation. <3

  • @ChantHareKrishna It's extraordinary how we hear messages when we need them most, and these profound words and beautiful music are especially inspiring. x

  • Thank you for your kind comments, gina842, it truly is a beautiful and inspirational poem. I'm so glad it touched you! :-)

    Be blessed,

    SpiritualWisdom (Anna)

  • @statrei Yes just who ARE those gospel-like singers? I did several searches on the internet and no luck... anybody out there know?
