Bring Joy NOW :)

“And the true realism, always and everywhere, is that of the poets: to find out where joy resides, and give it a voice far beyond singing. For to miss the joy is to miss all.”

~ Robert Louis Stevenson

No way to miss it

It sprouts amid the darkest

Irrepressible Joy

If not now when?

I love the idea to bring joy NOW

And yes the poets alway know how to bring out the point with a few words.

Here I want to add:

'Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time. '
Thomas Merton

He must mean: Finding ourselves and losing ourselves in joy.

Life is a bunch of NOWs. We might as well come up to present time and really be here NOW as this is where all of your answers come easier rather than being stuck somewhere on the time track of the yesterdays. When I started doing this, doors opened and I had a lot more to do. I did find on a very analytical level that the mind is a 100% operating computer with the right answers that come much more easier with the now. It seems to give wrong answers if stuck in the past trying to figure-figure from a stuck viewpoint or false data. If I don't have data on a subject it is much easier to get the solution by finding the right materials from the point of now. That is just my viewpoint but NOW does work. Personally, I feel it can help bring about world peace.

Boy! Have you made my day! Thanks a lot! Don't you love that the world's getting smaller? I sure do. Seems like I've waiting for this for a long time!

Much love, Sherrilene
