Looking for Joy

Regardless of how you get there, joy, comfort and peace have to start and end in your own heart. I believe the thrill of it all is in the process itself. It is an endless process of self-discovery with every passing moment and change in circumstance. 

One point in time can never be exactly the same as any other and one's place in that moment can never be the same as anyone else. Ask and answer your own questions to find what you are looking for.

Looking for Joy

07/10/11

“Hello, sorry to bother you right now

but maybe you could help me.

I have a question that has gone unanswered

it will only take a second of your time.

You see I am trying to find joy

and I wonder if you’ve seen it

I think it came your way

a friend told me, I believe.

He said you have been talking

about it for some time now.

He told me you were sure and

have all of the answers.

You know just where to find it

no mystery remains.

So I was wondering, if you did find it

would you share your joy with me?”

After a long pause in silence

a calm and soothing voice began to speak.

“I am sorry, I cannot do what you ask.

Its impossible to share whats mine alone.

Your friend was right, I have found joy

and I’ve been speaking of it for some time.

But don't despair, I can reassure you

The path to joy is in your own heart.

Ask your questions of yourself

and trust the answers your heart allows."
