Joy expresses itself in a multitude of ways
for the one who is just coming out of trauma
it can be a flicker of light amidst the darkness
for the one birthing a child
it’s a joyous burst of unconditional love
for the one walking the forest
it’s an appreciation for the beauty of nature
for the one in relationship
it’s the pleasure of sharing with another
for the artist
it’s an infinite array of color
for the musician
it’s an intricate harmony
for the poet
it’s articulated with words
for the mystic
it’s the contentment of being
for the child
it’s the glee of life itself
Joy can be quiet and sublime
Joy can be explosive and exuberant
The ultimate Joy
is when we realize
joy is innate
always present
pulsing through our blood
as the stardust
from which we’ve incarnated.
