About Desiderata

desiderata“Desiderata” (Latin for “desired things”, plural of desideratum) is an inspirational prose poem about attaining happiness in life.

I first came across it when I was 17 years old and working in the desert of Western Australia during my university holidays.

I gave it to my mother to inspire her and to help with her depression and she always had it displayed in her home.

I recently found a great interpretation of the messages contained in Desiderata. Check it out here
