After a lazy lunch yesterday, instead of rushing up to the computer to begin the next all-important online tasks, I paused. In this pause I realised that I wanted to make another choice. A choice that felt more joyful in fact. The next moment I found myself reclined on my garden sofa, listening to some ocean wave sounds on my meditation app and began writing the following lines. We have to pause to invite joy in sometimes. She is a very compliant visitor!
Inviting Joy
Inviting joy into our days
Is something we can master
Our thoughts can often pave the way
then actions come much faster
What makes you smile is worth the while
For happiness becomes you
and upbeat thoughts start to compile
Exuding from the fun you
The ocean’s sound, a grassy mound
a forest or a sunset
What place most makes your joy abound?
and helps your mind to reset?
What does your smiling presence say
when in bright light you cast her?
Inviting joy into our days
Is something we can master
Well done you! I can tell from the expression on your face that you made the right choice!
One of these days I will be able to make such choices, something I cannot wait to enjoy!
