Here is a little something to read, I find it very comforting and humbling, this was found in an old monastry in Baltimore, theres many a tale of it on the web..... so just a few nice thoughts to sleep with. sorry if its to small to read, but you can find the text version on web. this is an image a .jpg ..............
The poem's copyright A 962402 [6] was registered by Ehrmann on Jan. 3, 1927 as "Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, et. Card.",[7] and was renewed by his wife in 1954.[8]
In August 1971 the poem was published in Success Unlimited magazine, again without authorization from Ehrmann's family. In a 1976 lawsuit[9] against the magazine's publisher, Combined Registry Company, the court ruled (and subsequently the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld[10]) that copyright had been forfeited because the poem had been authorized for publication without a copyright notice in the 1940s – and that the poem is therefore in the public domain.[11]

Because it was a bit difficult to read, I typed "a poem found in an old monastery in Baltimore" in my browser and came with a version that you can download in black and white.
here is a you tube version in audio saves reading text docs, words are a little bit different.

This reminds me of my Grandmother. She was a strict Salvation Army lady who had very high values. My Grandmother was a housekeeper for many years and was very highly thought of by her employers. She had to work because she had two children and no Husband. My Grandfather died in the first world war.I don't know why it makes me think of her. Maybe.because she was a gentle kind person.
