This beautiful poem of the great Russian Poetess starts with: I taught myself to live simply and wisely, to look at the sky and pray to God, . How simple are rhe words, but more lovelier the poem shall be. I have read time and again, but I am still hungry for her poems.

Lifted my heart up and gave me fresh breath- I am on the right track to teach people how to live simply and tire out superfluous worries- This is a great testimonial and image for self-esteeming time, like walking a potentially vicious dog locked in a cage too long and feel feeling the freedom to now answer the door and remain at peace with outside forces.

Is living simply correct? Well, yes it is, especially with our present over crowdedness. People must learn to please oneself with less.
