Joy's Lesson

Give honor to joy. Trust in its results. Begin knowing how deep it richly roots, From God given traits. Trade not for empty, endless hours, that burdens the soul, inhibits graceful growing and drags down the human heart. Dig the hole deep, let all anger, hurtful hate, useless pity, take them all and let them depart, fill up plenty each tiny detail of all joy's journey. Joy bestows its beginning, lines its walls with luminous light. Whether within simple solace or crashing crowds. Bubbles up from bright, nail thin thunder. Captures the flash of small, sparkling diamonds, that seals its coming into each hungering heart. Teaches all young of all earthly species, that joy will always be found in your beginning, middle and endless ending. Close your eyes. Imagine a sea of individual, intricate fields of flowers, rich rainbow of all glorious colors. Each representing joy's indescribably delight, encouraging all who wishes to belong to joy's unending invitation and encompassing reach, that the real you, the real us, the real truth is this: that all life no matter who or what, was meant to have joy and feel it too. Joy is the center of each living thing, so, thank joy for staying, or welcome it home again. Oh jovial joy, how more may I thank thee? I'll honor and keep thee. Abiding always in joy's unwavering delight!
