Fountains

Once we commit to living honesty in every interaction and examine our own personal intent, it's funny how much we uncover the responsibilities we may have inadvertently assigned to our circumstances or other people to keep us well. Happiness isn't some misguided exercise in thinking that a rainbow will appear with a platinum-embossed, personal invitation to some kind of Paradisiacal inertia. And it is not dependent in any way by what happens to us. Happiness is really about acceptance first and all the gifts which flood in from relinquishing the need to hold onto excuses. Thereafter, humbling gratitude opens up sight for the multitude of blessings we have in the now and casts shining light upon the invincible hope of tomorrow. Take hold of today and meet it with Joy.
