One of Holly's favorite quotes is:"I came upon some footprints
On a road worn with ware.
Left by some hurried someone,
Racing to get somewhere.
See the power in his stride,
His youthful confidence;
He's living in the moment,
No thought of consequence.
On and on the footprints go,
Towards the setting sun.
His stride becomes more steadied,
No longer does he run.
Carefully he stays on course,
For now he has a goal.
His responsibilities,
Weigh heavy on his soul.
As he crests the horizon,
He stops to look behind,
At the road he has traveled,
Not certain what he'll find.
He follows every footprint,
That he's left in his wake.
Then thinks about the future,
The steps he still must take.
But there atop his mountain,
He sees what lay ahead.
A new vessel awaits him,
Once this one has been shed.
A few more labored footprints,
Before his task is done.
Then on to a new journey,
Where he can, once more, run.
In following the footprints,
I've seen the grand design.
At last I know my purpose,
For these footprints...are mine.".

Desiderata
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember wh...Expand for more
at peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
Max Ehrmann, Desiderata
