As the energy started ramping up for this one in 2009, Joy became a very endangered species within. Before that joy was always externally based and there was an underlying sense of quiet desperation.
I believe it was 3 1/2 years ago that I got strict instructions to begin to embody on the winter solstice. I wasn’t told why I was simply instructed to lay naked on these rocks at the moment of the solstice. Believe me I trusted mightily. I meant to say protested mightily but I did both.
Flash to today. So much joy passing through for no reason. Then I got to my car and it was strewn with rose petals. Earlier a beloved had told me I was her Shams of Tabriz (Rumi) For supporting her vast Heart. No surprise the joy spreader is my Joy buddy Kim. And then when I got to the mailbox very belated birthday present from my 
outlaws had arrived. Joy upon joy upon Joy.
outlaws had arrived. Joy upon joy upon Joy.I mention it because I witnessed so many that, like I used to, believe that being human and Joy are antithetical. For me to move beyond that limiting belief took tremendous focus. I have it that we are meant to live joyfully. All it takes is full access to our own hearts.
