Pure joy is available all day, every day. It is the expression of a constant stream of love that drives everything (EVERYTHING) we know. So why does it feel so difficult to access sometimes?
The longer I am alive and the more I experience the depth of love, then its opposite (or lack of love), I learn more about its constancy as well as the grief of not being tuned into it. I am starting to understand that our disconnection from love comes from cultural and familial programming that preaches that disconnection. And, boy, do we not only pay a hefty price for our programming in emotional, mental and physical suffering, but we usually pay willingly because we've never been taught otherwise.
Make a promise to retrieve joy for yourself. Bring it up from the depths of your childlike soul with song or praise or a smile. Let it wash over you. Tap into its power and let it well up inside you, spilling out across the landscape of your body and out into the world. Love can never be exhausted and you can never take too much. Like the song says, "love is all you need."
