Go placidly amid the noise and haste: Meditations on the "Desiderata"by Granville T WalkerBethany PressGo Placidly Amid the Noise and Haste (Watchwords to Strengthen the Mind, the Heart, and the Soul)Desktop ResourcesThe world doesn't need another "quote book", but neither did in need, on September 2, 1997, another vainglorious, fiftieth birthday party, not trophy "trinket" acquisition. I have, therefore, chosen a lesser evil. When I was young enough for competitive athletic training, "three-a-days" meant morning, afternoon and evening sessions of rigorous physical drill and mental preparedness for one's sport of choice.

Written for those who are climbing ladders; yea, but still more for those who are placidly thinking they can leap from the bottom to the topmost round. Illustrations by L.R. Martin, Boston & Frances S. & Mary E. Allen, Deerfield.by J.M. ArmsJ.M. Arms, Deerfield, MA |
