we are perfect


(picture from this site)
I'm gonna write this post for a friend of mine... I ended up laughing my ass off tonight just by reading what my friend and I were talking about... anyhow what I wanna say... yes, my dear friend WE ARE PERFECT, perfect individuals who have some kinda clue what we don't wanna do... ya, still figuring out what we would love to do...but I'm sure we're not that far away from that...and if we are even better, life is about traveling, discovering, learning along the way ...;)
so, don't worry, we are perfect just the way we are... no sane person could ever be like this! and have so much fun... and so many down points and so many funny stories to tell... and I'm so glad I know you! :)

Desiderata

I have first read this in Slovenian language...so I had to do some google search...;) to find this english version of it... I just love it.. and here it is for all of you... it's a text by an unknown author found in Old Saint Paul's Church in Baltimore in 1692.

Go placidly amid the noise and 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 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 labours 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.
