Desiderata

I made 10 videos before I ever had the nerve t actually venture in front of the camera, but in those 10 videos and all the videos I don't appear in, I tried to give a little insight into who I am.
This one is very dear to my heart for many, many reasons.

The first time I listen to this poem I was 12yrs old. My mother had this poem in Spanish. Ever since then I have made this poem my doctrine. It is my every day prayer. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Minniver, this has been a very special video to me. Thank you dearly.

I found this during my freshman year of high school and even though I'm now a senior it is still my favorite video on all of youtube- even after four years.

I've finally been able to download your beautiful reading into a mp3 file so that I may take it to college and wherever I go when I travel the world. As small as it may seem, your video has had a big impact on me. Thank you so much.

My universe is unfolding as it should. It is a beautiful world. I am a child of the universe and I have every right to be here. I am myself and I am a believer of LOVE. I no longer distress myself with dark imaginings. I have peace in my soul and I am cheerful.

I wake everymorning and only want to play this wonderful reading. This starts my day, puts everything in perspective for me. Thru these trying times we are all living, take a moment, listen to these words. Beautiful and true.

When I was a child my mother gave me a poster with the words of the DESIDERATA,it hung on the wall beside my bed for many years,now that im much older I know why she gave it to me.I read it allmost every night as a child and it has stuck in my mind for over 30 years.These are words to live by,and I thank my mother for giving me such a gift.The Desiderata has been a way of life for me for years,And I have been blessed
