I’ve known this Joy on and off all my life as it seems I’ve known shadow that was intense for my sensitive soul/spirit.
So with the last one being late 2003 . Joy indeed with the eldest grandson’s birth . The intensity of primal wounded female tested me for several years . I had to seek higher ground to my beloved mountains. The lessons learned here amongst my intense Joy at my peace . That it’s been retaliated against me has been made clear .. thy Will be done 💯🙌🙏
Joy does not arrive with a fanfare,
on a red carpet strewn with the flowers of a perfect life.
Joy sneaks in, as you pour a cup of coffee,
watching the sunlight hit your favourite tree,
just right.
And you usher joy away,
because you are not ready for it.
Your house is not as it should be,
for such a distinguished guest.
But joy cares nothing for your messy home,
or your bank-balance,
or your waistline, you see.
Joy is supposed to slither through the cracks of your imperfect life,
that’s how joy works.
You cannot truly invite her,
you can only be ready when she appears.
And hug her with meaning,
because in this very moment,
joy chose you.
