I came across these words from one of my earlier posts. It really resonated. Time to break out in celebration of nature and Existence. No event required. xo

Joy Is Big
Your joy is too small, caged by the jailor of your thoughts.
It lives in the land beyond Infinity and is big beyond measure.
It teaches each tree to dance her own private blissful dance with the wind.
It is what the moon sings every night, holding us as we sleep with her streaming light-song.
Joy lives in your own drunken electrons, billions of them, spinning and dancing without end in their own intimate Universe, longing for You.
Do not look for joy anywhere else.
It is living in you, and gives meaning to all Existence.
Turn your heart’s eyes inward right now, and let them gaze in awe at the immensity
~ Judith Lasater

Joy is many a times misunderstood or not understood.
All take the inspiration from their old earned nasty habits.
Come join the Joy of Music 🎶 at mine. And the previous one.
Val!
Happy Going

Thank you Shiva. Yes – joy is not found in the superficial or a passing external fancy. When we connect inwards it is there for each and every one of us. Namaste 💛

When we recognize our thoughts are not the truth, but are only our thoughts, we find that elusive key. 💛

That, is definitely the freeing part. I had a college instructor once who told us that we cannot prevent the thoughts that occur. Our brain shoots them out. From who knows where. But what we ‘can’ do, is control how we react to those thoughts. I’ve always held on to that when a thought of an odd and/or scary nature popped in my head.
