Greetings...
In these differently challenging times, let's stay anchored by choosing the realm of joy. Below is an original poem which echoes this sentiment. Have a nice day. CHOOSE MORE THAN HAPPINESS Oftentimes we have heard it said / ‘What makes you happy is what’s best So, follow your heart in earnest / And let time take care of the rest’ But we should note that happiness / Is based on current circumstance Like vines that wilt in scorching heat / Borne by winds that storm happenstance Because happiness is fickle / We really should seek something more That is steadfast and far deeper / Permeating right to our core The heart may fast be corrupted / Its passion, sometimes a decoy So, reason says ‘pursue rightness / Which guarantees eternal joy’ Yes, joy the utmost resonance / A well-spring that generates life A constant, delightful presence / Which is unfazed by loss or strife Joy like a river deep and wide / Brings great strength to embattled souls As peace and laughter come flooding / They fill sorrow’s cavernous holes Joy teaches to patiently trust / And not worry about our fate It guides us on paths of wisdom / Giving reasons to celebrate We’ll sing and dance with gladdened hearts / From this fruit which naught can destroy Over and above happiness / Let us choose unspeakable joy #joy #resilience #stability
