A while ago on another forum someone started a thread with the subject of "What is joy?"
Rather than try and explain as if answering an exam question I wrote this.

The sweetpeas today, had the ruby velvet of a great Aunts best dress,
The blue of the Norfolk sky at dawn, the sweet pink of my Grandaughters cheek ,
the deep cream of a young Bucks fur covered horn,
I gazed at these with a clear sky behind,
I was lost in the wonder and the world was left .....
This is Joy, being part of the day.
This is Joy,
Being part of the Way.
