Sarah posted this back in October, and I printed it out and taped it into the front of my journal, intending to memorize the whole thing. I admit I didn’t get far, but the first sentence has been resonating in my soul ever since. (And it reminds me of a favorite teacher, who loves this poem.)
Max Ehrmann’s words (he’s the author) are also in keeping with this week’s theme of quiet. So may you find some quiet, some cheerfulness, and all the other lovely things this poem promises, this weekend.
