I started a new job this week, and on my first day at work I came across this poem, framed and hanging on a wall in one of the rooms in my new workplace. I wanted to share it. Some of you may already know of the poem as I understand it's quite famous, but the wording is the sort of thing that can be read again and again. I really like it, especially the lines: '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.'
I was interested to read that the poet was also a lawyer (like myself). This poem didn't become famous until after his death.
