JOY IS EXTERNAL

 

Joy is outside of me.

I make it, like a batch of cookies.

I whip up a batch, put it in the oven,

and there it is,

made with my own hands.

 

Joy is outside of me.

I return to places where I once felt joy,

times when I was involved in something, and joy took me

by surprise. Then I take joy by surprise.

 

Joy is outside of me.

If I don't have a "mix,"

I can bake it from scratch.

When hobbies lose their excitement,

I can make rituals out of mundane things.

 

Joy is outside of me.

When my world at first seems joyless,

I step into it anyway. Like a self-commissioned

artist, I go forth and create.

I really enjoyed this girlfound.

 

It is a motivating piece to live life regardless of the circumstances.

 

Reminds me of one of my mantras: Feel the fear and do it anyway.

Thanks for your input, jchpiper. I'm curious about your user name. I just became a grandmother for the first time, to a little baby girl named "Piper." Thanks again. girlfound

I simply like bagpipes and wind instruments.....they evoke a magical feel for me. And jch are my first 3 initials. :)

 

 

Congratulations on the grand daughter!!! *bow*

 

I know a little girl whose first name is Piper....musical she is, and a joy. Almost like she follows the beat of a different drummer.
