My Joy is heightened when I can share it with others.
Since words are often lacking, and exchanges between two people are usually one-sided, the most direct form of communication is non-verbal. And what is a better universal sign of love and affection than a hug? Sure, a warm smile conveys compassion, but even from a distance of two feet, there are invisible walls that say, 'we are separate.' Hugs break down all barriers. Hugs let my heart sing. Hugs help me connect with strangers, and say, "I see you."

This morning I dragged myself out of bed in a pre-dawn hour to get to a doctor's appointment. I didn't want to act joyful at that hour, so I allowed myself to be in the state I found myself-half asleep and groggy. *DING* a mini moment of joy in self acceptance.
I entered the office with the intention of not accepting any drug prescriptions because I know my mind is more powerful than my body, and I thought I could fix myself-silly ego. At the current moment, and entire preceding week, I let my mind give into childish thoughts and my body suffered. It was visibly clear to the doctor who shared with me what he saw. He saw the potential that I could cease struggling and be radiant. A total stranger recognized my distance from joy and honestly cared that I return to it. Thats when I started believing in his medicine. I also began to see the truth in the statement that, 'you can't find yourself by yourself.' Swallowing the pill physically helped me transform my ego mentally. I chose the path towards joy, and the rest of my day was joyful. *DING* |
