Lost Happiness
You want to be happy, but you’re asking for something which has already been given to you. Where did you lose it? It just slipped from your pocket? And how do you find it back again?
Is it a lucky penny, or is it a cake you make from scratch, every step important? Is it a house you build with careful attention? A garden you create with whimsy and wonderment? A beauty you’ve come to love, can’t imagine living without, can’t believe your good fortune for stumbling upon it? Is it a covering or an uncovering? Or is it an opening which goes on opening forever?
It might be very simple: to behold the loveliness of life and find pleasure, make joy, stay open and willing and grateful through it all. What you have, right now, might well be enough.
