I Am Joyous
Jan Blount
I am joyous about the sense of
adventure and discovery that I am
stepping into more and more each day...each moment. I am busting
through blocks and resistance. Stretching my limbs and finding I have
wings after all. Dancing on the edge is scary, but it is also
exhilarating. I do feel more alive and awake to possibility,
inspiration, beauty and the simple joys.
The penetrating heat of the returning sun soaking deep into my stiff
bones and brittle flesh.
The distant drone of a lawn mower interloping into the quiet crack of
dawn, calling me back to younger toddler times when I would sleepily
wake to similar "music" while snuggling deep in grandma's bumpy
bedspread and sweet, fresh smelling bed sheets.
Trail walking faithfully with my dedicated companions, Mysti and Sue.
Sue cause she knows and sees deeply and intimately the ways of the
woods and creatures. Mysti cause her doggy exuberance is a delight to
witness and be a part of. Both spill over me, blessing me with deeper
seeing eyes, a lighter heart, and a springier steps.
The joy of demystifying the techno god’s secrets and finally
succeeding at getting the system to do what I would like it to. When
it actually does what I thought I told it to.
Fresh picked flowers with perky glad faces.
Sweet romantic surprises, especially unexpected, uncharacteristic
ones, of a steamy tub waiting with floating rose candles and floating
rose petals.
The taste of pure cold water swirling in a dry mouth and slipping
down, down, down into the wilting cells.
The rich succulent sweetness in a berry freshly picked from the vine.
The solid feel of arms wrapped around my wide open heart.
A clean counter.
A handwritten letter of friendship.
I am even joyous about the "not joys" ...for these bring my life into
full and vibrant Technicolor. The challenges, the weeping times, the
angry times, and the fearful times all join hands to enrich my full
life and awaken it to its fullest potential.
