Joy within me.

May 1, 2018

Joy has come to live with me. How can I be sad?

I do so love Thy presence, which is joy within me.

-Ernest Holmes

 

Be like the bird

That, pausing in her flight

Awhile on boughs too slight,

Feels them give way

Beneath her and yet sings,

Knowing that she had wings.

-Victor Hugo

 

Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your

grasp, but which if you will sit down quiet, may alight upon you.

-Nathanial Hawthorne

 

Joy is the realization of the truth of one-ness, the oneness of our soul with

the Supreme love.

-Ravindranath Tagore

 

Happy May. Happy new birth. Happy love.
