7 WAYS TO GENERATE JOY: Some thoughts on ebullient living

    1.
Have a spirit
of gratitude
& curiosity

    2.
See each event
as a spiritual message 

    3.
Consider yourself
a temporary custodian of things –
not as an owner

    4.
Observe how
inner and outer events
mirror each other 

    5.
Creatively
time travel
to
appreciate
this moment

    6.
Focus on the big picture
& details will eventually
fall in place 

    7.
Remember what's more
important than joy
and focus on that,
then regard happiness 
as a incidental adjunct.

Tara:   (shrugging nonchalantly) We may never know.

Orapan: (with hesitation) Some of the poems were uplifting.

Gwen:   And I enjoyed some images.

Tara:   (with a wry smile) Isn't that enough?
