There is such a JOY
In living
It feeds me
Breath by breath
Shattering the
boxes
Of my thoughts
That imprison with conditions
Freeing me
So I can SEE
This Treasure I
have been given
My very life
Reason enough
To pause
In awe
Give thanks!
Jump!
Dance!
Leap!
Celebrate!
Dream!
The miracles that
spring from JOY
Are immeasurable
As this energy
Is cast
Into the world
Human to human
Heart to heart
Soul to soul
Vibrational
Invisible
Palpable
Spiraling
Connecting
Through the power
of TRUTH
Knowing that JOY
abounds
Without ceasing
It is us
Who forgets
Asleep in the
staleness
Stopping the flow
But when we
remember
It is ON!
Life flows
abundantly
Enchanting us
Moment by moment
As we walk our path
Aware of the beauty
Fully engaged
JOY-filled!
Oh,
how sacred our lives are! There is truly
such a joy in living wherever we find our Self in any given moment, frame by
frame, with eyes wide open fully present to the moment. Free from thoughts of how we think things should be, not judging events as good or
bad but purely bearing witness, with all of our Self, life flows abundantly in
the energy of joy that knows the beauty of it all.
I
have held the hand of my dying brother. I
have held vigil over my mom ushering her from this life to the next. I have kissed the cold lips of my dead
husband. I have watched my nieces and
nephew breathe their first breaths. I
have stood by the side of friends as maid of honor at their weddings. I have been a cheerleader with pompoms in
hand for family, friends and strangers as they have taken on great challenges
throughout their lives. I have scaled
mountains I used to believe were insurmountable, shattering limits, fists
pumping, tears falling, inviting more life to come out and play.
Like
everyone on this human journey, I have tasted the bitter and the sweet; but
there is a joy in knowing that the depth of sweetness I now live in came from allowing the bitter in to do what it
does – freeing me, enlivening me in ways that weren’t possible before. We can curse the circumstances and I am a fan
of starting there as emotional integrity, feeling what we are feeling is
necessary. When life pinches, bites and
stabs, I scream with all of me! And in
time, we arrive at a place where we can see beyond, from the eyes of the soul
that extracts the beauty and the wisdom and the JOY in living all that life brings our way.
The
invitation this day is to acknowledge the JOY in living, in being here in this
moment present to all of life, alive in this body, expressing as a soul named
(Kathy) on this wondrous adventure that takes us where we need to go –
sometimes, kicking and screaming and sometimes, with hands in the air ecstatic
in the play. See the treasure you have
been given in the gift that is your very life.
Pause and be in awe of you, all that you are as an individual and all
that you get to share with this world. This
is reason enough to give thanks, celebrate, jump, dance, leap, dream and be
JOY-filled. BEAUTYfull!
