Joy

The music plays wistfully in the background.

The sun glows brightly in the sky.
Barbara flits about preparing for work.
Big hug and kiss and she is out the door.

My mind wanders, as it is wont to do,

To ponder the world, the spirits and the universe and
The music plays quietly in the background.

I learned that DNA gives off electro-magnetic signals all the time.

                We can sense them.
All life gives off pheromones into the world around us,
                We can sense them.
I have known for years that we are part of a universal harmony of all things.
                We can sense this.
We feel comfort with no reason. We sense fear for no reason. We love for no reason. We join for no reason. We talk to a stranger for no reason. We act for no reason.
                Other than that we know, in our hearts, it is the right thing to do.
It is in harmony with the universe, and
The music plays boldly in the background.

When we are connected into the harmony of all things

We attract into our lives those things we really really want,

if we know that we can,

and have the faith to act.

We know it is the right thing to do

                Because it brings us happiness to do it, and

The music plays joyfully in the background.

Connecting means

Awareness,

                Thoughtfulness,

                                Belief without doubt,

                                                Knowing,

                                                                Trusting,

Dreams,

                Desires,

                                Passion,

                                                Love, and most of all

                                                                Joy.

Love and Joy are the absence of

Judgment,

                Hatred,

                                Anger,

                                                Jealousy,

                                                                Blame,

                                                                                Guilt,

Unworthiness,

                Insecurity,

                                Fear,

                                                Grief,

                                                                Despair, and

                                                                                Powerlessness.

All of these things are external to who we are.

                They are visions we create of ourselves, for ourselves.

They may be visions others have of us, but

                We have to make them ours for them to become real.

Our biggest fear is the realization that we are responsible for creating our own world.

                All of it and through it all,

The music plays constantly in the background.

Love and Joy are the presence of

Empowerment,

                Freedom,

                                Appreciation for all,

                                                Enthusiasm,

                                                                Happiness, and

                                                                                Creativity.

These are wealth. These are abundant. These are infinite.

They are available to all who truly want them.

Many do not, despite their circumstances, complaints and moaning,

Because these three are who they believe themselves to be,

They are safety, simple and comfortable no matter the pain involved, and so

Those three things they drag more of into their lives.

The music still beckons in the background.

The greatest gift we can give someone is not food, or money or things, but

                The power to know they can find love and joy in their lives, for

With love and joy you can have anything you truly want in your life,

But what could be more than love and joy?

The music plays so nicely  . . .
