Kissing Joy As It Flies - June 25

As Liz pauses on Exeter’s Cathedral Green, her eye catches a line from a William Blake poem etched into the paving stones. In today’s 5 Minutes In Nature, she invites you to reflect on these timeless words: "He who kisses the joy as it flies, lives in eternity’s sunrise." What do these words stir in you?

Thankyou Liz 🙏🏼
I’m wondering if William Blake meant by this quote, that joy is fleeting and we need to see it and embrace it.
It’s a beautiful quote.

It is disheartening though to see rubbish discarded so thoughtlessly.
I’m forever picking up plastic on my walks so maybe for every bit of plastic I can look for double joy.

Those who can see and appreciate joy will always have joy.

Thank you. It was lovely to be transported to that moment, time and space with you. 🙏🏼

Finding joy in the eternal certainty that the sun always shines behind the clouds. The eternal energy that binds us all is joyful and connecting to it brings joy.
