We don't need our home obliterated by dynamite to lose our joy. A traffic jam will do it. A tone of voice. An email that arrives on a Tuesday and ruins the entire week.
I love the lesson here, Anne.
Joy is not a response to circumstances. Not something we wait for. Not something that "happens" to us.
It's a natural consequence of our being.
Joy is always within us. Always a possibility – Always a choice ❤️
Joy is like sense of humour in some circumstances: it is a badly necessary nutrient without which our mind cannot survive as a spiritual power, thus a leading energy in our life. So to paraphrasing Oscar Wilde relating to humour, joy is an other politeness of despair. Dearest Anne, this all what I have in the mental chest this week. Have a great week you and Family. Amitié, pierre-alain varreon
I was quoting her and telling her anecdotes all week. What an inspiration, that woman warrior!
She really is. I learned so much from her. Amazing human.
Most of us never get tested like that.

I love thinking about joy as a nutrient! 💥
Thanks Anne! Needed this
Glad it landed, Gillian. ❤️
