That’s Joy’s real essence. And true value. When we selflessly give it to others. It tends to come back multiplied. Deliberate and random acts of kindness. Thoughtful surprises, meaningful gifts. Small gestures. Sharing happy events. Enjoying a special moment. Being...(more)

Joy

Joy is not what you think it is!  Be as a child, in innocence, behold the Beloved. Rapturous simplicity, revealed in the fabric of the ordinary, everyday life. Being, not doing. Doing, for no other purpose than the moment. Joy is flower. Open, it reveals many layers intertwined. Look, touch, taste, smell.  Joy is everywhere!  You must only receive it.

Welcome Bak and welcome home with JOY!

I also believe that Joy is really NOT what we think, but what we ARE. And its manifestations are as wonderful, as beautiful and as simple as life itself…

And here are two more examples - a quote coming from PlayfulSpirit and a lovely 1 minute video from Xrisham, that really embodies what pure joy is all about - the spontaneity of a child - so delightful and so contagious esp. when caused by a good deed such as this one… Thank you Trish and Graeme!

“The unendurable is the beginning of the curve of joy.” ~ Djuna Barnes ~

Dance for Joy - “This is a short video that was shot after giving 100 orphans new dresses for the first time. They were dancing and spinning around for joy. I think we all feel like this inside sometimes…”



EnJOY in JOY,

This video is so precious Darina and Xrisham! That spirit that cannot be contained, just so evident on these sweet, little faces. The delight, joy, and pleasure…. very sweet.

Thanks for the gift!

Cultivating Joy is Enlightenment
Collecting smiles is Enlightenment

Check out the definition for Enlightenment

Want to change the World?…Spend your day Collecting smiles. No matter where you are or what you are doing.

It's a simple as that.
