Max Ehrmann (1872–1945)

The minimalistic illustrations go well with the poetry

The poem is too idealistic for me. Still beautiful to read.
If I had to replace all self-help books with one book, it'd be this.
You kind of have to be a dreamer to believe it.
Or in denial.

'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.'

A book of poems of spirituality.
