Have you ever wondered who wrote that popular poem The Desiderata?
It's that poem that starts..
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons...
You may have seen it printed somewhere or sown as an embroidered piece at your auntie's house or granny's house.
In Rivvy Neshama's book Recipes for a Sacred Life, you can dip in and find out who really wrote that poem...plus study the full poem yourself and gain some peace from it. The story of who really wrote The Desiderata is quite surprising.
