Goodness and Joy

There is such goodness and joy in the world It is up to us to search the ponds and hills until we find it For some of us it is in the monarchs and Luna moths Others will be able to dance and whistle with the faeries Some will find their mirth and joy in the depths of the ocean There is hope and optimism and justice in the world We will find it if we keep looking for it The key is to search every lake, mountain, and meadow Wild strawberries, rosy mushrooms, ruffled marigolds Can uplift and revitalize us Sun’s Vitamin D can lift us up and shake out the doldrums It is up to us to follow nature until we feel God’s goodness.

And, you know, Caren, some people just make their joy wherever they find it, and that is super. I sometimes think it is best if we can just find joy in ourselves rather than in other things. You do it all the time.

I do find joy, because I seek it hourly!

Beautiful. Made me so happy because I see God in nature. It is indeed happiness giving. You are right - happiness is for those who seek
