KJT. Random musings on all sorts of things.

Desiderata (Excerpts). Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. No less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. Keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams; it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. --- Max Ehrmann, 1927
