Joy - Poem & Contemplation

Joy is an inner experience of connecting with your soul even when your experiences in the outer, physical world might appear to change and fluctuate from happy to sad or peaceful to angry. Joy is different from happiness in that happiness can be fleeting. Joy is able to be present for us no matter what. The following is a poem I wrote about this experience. Thank you so much for listening and may Joy always be present for you.

Thank you for this beautiful message and poem, Shannon. I want to remember that joy is always there, holding my hand as you say, and that I can invite her in. Sending love and blessings your way. 🙏🏻❤️

Hi Shannon,
Thank you for this sweet reminder. When I spend time in the morning focusing on the presence of God I feel Joy. I’ve heard this phrase’ “Joy is an inside job”.
Also , today I went to the grocery store. When I was coming to my car, I noticed an older woman next to my driver‘s door, as she was trying to get into her car and put her bag in the front seat She seemed to be struggling a bit, so I offered to help her and then I took her cart back for her. She was so appreciative and she kept waving to me through the window. It was so sweet and I had a rushed morning and I said to God in the car on the way home, “I didn’t get much time to spend in your presence today”. and I believe I felt in my soul God was saying “you were just in My presenc . I’m so moved when God brings these opportunities along, and I think it makes Him smile .
so Joy definitely is within, and it flows out from focusing on Jesus and others for me.
Sending you enormous hugs and love and prayers. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🫶🤍🫂🫂🫂❤️💕❤️

Wow so beautiful,amazing,and true LOVE YOU NAMASTE!!!!!

Such a beautiful reminder today and each day! Joy shows up for me in a warm bowl of food, the cool breeze against my skin, kisses and cuddles from my dog, seeing others smile, a simple kindness and the lightness that enters my heart during meditation, kirtan and reiki. May Joy continue to bless you. Namaste
