Thanks for posting it!

Some person once said, "What if joy isn't an emotion, but is actually you - that you are Joy? And all the other emotions are modifications of that one reality...the Self...Joy?" I've been "modified" as far as you can possibly go, I'm sure. Maybe "showing up" is just what any person does when they are most within their integrity. If we are Joy, and we are within our integrity, in those moments that same Self reacts, shines, and is lifted in others. I was thinking about what a river trip would be like with you and the family in your life, and a recent conversation came up:

"What do you say to plant seeds of good when these people are in such emotionally charged states?" I was asked.

"I don't think I'm bright enough to be so cunning and effective. I just check in with my intentions and make them as pure as possible, so I don't get in the way of the River doing Her work."

Cheers!

I think you're bang on, we are joy. That is what our natural state is. Perfectly put, as usual! :)

That picture is pretty amazing too!

Thanks! You're so kind. And!...your video has given me a lot of encouragement to do something similar. I hope you make more!

Looking forward to your future posts! Doing videos feels quite vulnerable for me, but I am facing the fear and doing it anyway :)

Yeah, I think that would define vulnerable to me!! But...you did it! And I'm here to say it was a success.

I'm always very grateful for encouragement (and dialog!!). Your writing voice, and your speaking voice, have a smooth, flowing refinement about them. I appreciate the very natural dignity in your effort, and the depths that you're sourcing and I really dig the personal take and application. Spot on! So...your encouragement means a lot to me, and I'm sure it means a lot to many others. (Drops a small stone into the deep water.) Now, it's time for me to write some flowers into life. Peace!
