The Wonder of Silence

Joy and Her Children

 

How does one breathe?

How does one fall asleep?

How does one die?

 

The only thing to do is

get out of the way.

There are things beyond our control.

Our effort useless.

 

Joy is one of those things.

It cannot be earned or deserved.

We cannot manipulate ourselves into it.

It is not a puzzle to be solved.

 

All we can do is

allow everything.

Feel everything.

 

Joy is the matriarch of a family of emotions.

She won't come in your house

If her children are not welcome.
