Surviving
life
love
tradgegy
jobs
marriages
losses
surgeries
near misses
they say you’re a survivor
where’s the joy in surviving?
Where’s the joy in surviving?
joy
In search of joy
Asking and receiving
through prayer and meditation
Noticing when it’s here
with eyes open
How to step into it
by dropping all else and being fully present in the moment
To recognize it
and open my eyes and heart wide
To feel it deep within my being
and stay with it as long as possible
To embrace it with my whole being
as I would any friend or loved one
As if … I were a child again
