“I feel that you are justified in looking into the future with true assurance, because you have a mode of living in which we find the joy of life and the joy of work harmoniously combined. Added to this is the spirit of ambition which pervades your very being, and seems to make the day’s work like a happy child at play.” ~Albert Einstein
In the mundane
In the arcane
In the everyday events
There is Joy.
From the morning
To the evening
And in moments in between
There is Joy.
In the loving
In the fearing
In emotions kept unseen
There is Joy.
Our responsibility?
Recognize
Realize
That which is always there.
Joy.
Love the colors, textures, and layers of this piece. You were meant to art journal! You’ve come so far so fast!
Joy in everything. Hmmm. I have an easier time finding Beauty in everything. Joy in many things, but I confess not in every day or every moment.
Somtimes, V, I find the joy dancing along the edges or waiting to reveal itself sometime in the future. It can, without a doubt, be elusive. And thank you for you kind words regarding the art journal. The process is creating openings and avenues I have not yet explored. It is liberating.
Our responsibility, yes…and also a challenge for some of us. But beautiful friends like you are reminders to pay attention and look for the joy.
Isn’t that the truth, Anne! My responsibilities are almost always layered with joy, give, take, challenge. LIFE is a collage!
