Reflections Of The Smokies
 
"Desiderata" (Latin for "desired things") is a poem by Max Ehrmann about attaining happiness in life. I had this posted on my last blog and was asked to post it here.  I am glad to share it again with you.  It is a poem that I need to look at often.  It's something we could all learn from.

Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
Frost On The Mountainside, 3/10
    I thought of the "peace there may be in silence" yesterday as I hiked under Cliff Tops and glimpsed this view of some vegetation hanging on to the side of the rocks, frozen in time.  As it thaws and bursts into life this spring it will still have a quiet beauty.
