What is
joy?
A feeling,
a giddiness, a resonance with the mind body and soul.
A beingness
of happiness and pleasure. Delight.
What does
it mean to say nothing without joy?
To me it
means to do what I must do with a light heart, even if the situation is heavily
emotionally laden.
It can
happen through the flow of time and space that we encounter challenges to this
lighthearted way of being.
And that is
where the learning is…..can we gracefully flow through the challenge in front
of us?
It takes a
great deal of effort, focus and discipline.
One has to
remember not to let the situation affect our personal joy but find strength in
having that (joy) as a foundation.
I have been
tested. I discovered that Epsom salt
baths help to relieve the tension that can build up in my soft tissues.
I discovered
that healing music and support my mind in staying focused on what is true.
AND, AND
AND I remembered that everyone is doing the best they can do right here, right
now. AND, AND, that helped me with being
calm and knowing this will all pass.
My goal for
this year is joy. To be and do with joy and to spread joy in anyway I can.
