The discovery of Joy flips the world inside out.
.
Joy is natural, innate, bubbling away
just under our usual range of perception,
a bottomless reservoir just waiting to be unleashed.
.
Joy reveals itself when you stop
seeking happiness as a goal,
as the endgame of acquiring a desire.
.
Joy isn’t dependent on process or plan,
it is the ground state of positivity
that doesn’t belong to anyone.
.
Joy is Being itself,
the exuberant energy of Life
playing in the oceans of its own perfection.
.
Joy is a rejoicing, a celebration of Isness,
the ultimate affirmation,
the Universe singing out “Yes”
.
Joy has the capacity to hold in its embrace,
great depths of sadness, pain and despair
and remain untouched and always available.
.
Joy may be felt as a gentle caress
to remind one of its presence,
or sometimes, an explosion of uncontainable jubilance.
.
Joy is a perspective on the world
that wants to be shared as widely as possible
not hoarded away for personal use.
.
Joy opens the heart
and flows through the veins
bringing colour to a sepia world.
.
Joy beams like the Sun,
blessing all who come within its reach
and like the sun it doesn’t discriminate.
.
Joy can change a frown to a grin,
and turn a crisis into an opportunity,
because it cannot be dimmed.
.
The discovery of Joy flips the world inside out.
