Like the ol’ adage goes, “happiness is a choice”, not an outcome.

Choose to be happy and you can be. Joy is similar in my view. Seek and you will find. See and it will be so.

For much of the last four years I’ve found myself plenty of times struggling, again and again in a rut with no obvious explanation,

Then through meditation and reflection and mantras and prayers repeated, and mundane doing again and again well,

Manifest joy.

I get out of my head and funk of my current circumstance, and look anew, and behold,

JOY.
