Recognizing Joy
Earlier today I was looking for poems on happiness and joy for a friend of mine. This one seriously couldn't be any more perfect. And now I just took a tiny dive in the mood arena, so I need it for myself as well:
"Joy" by Rabindranath Tagore, Indian Poet
And Joy is Everywhere;
It is in the Earth's green covering of grass;
In the blue serenity of the Sky;
In the reckless exuberance of Spring;
In the severe abstinence of gray Winter;
In the Living flesh that animates our bodily frame;
In the perfect poise of the Human figure, noble and upright;
In Living;
In the exercise of all our powers;
In the acquisition of Knowledge;
in fighting evils...
Joy is there Everywhere
"Reckless Exuberance" - what a fabulous phrase!!
It's in the mid-50's right now and the sun is shining outside. This morning it smelled like spring - that most wonderful scent of promise and excitement in the air. I'm going to leave work early and walk slowly when I'm outside, and breath deeply. And open my balcony door so my babies can enjoy the nice weather, too!
