Joy of a Different Place


  ‘ When she finds joy and wonder in every little thing, joy and wonder will always find her.’
-          Katrina Mayer




 Look at this baby-
who is smiling at you
your heart starts to melt –
into that innocence and that pureness
like snow melting in the early spring sun…


Look at that man-
who is smiling at you
his smile may be sweet and sophisticated,
you may even smile back at him 
but you will keep your heart guarded carefully,
You both are playing a game 
because of your inner knowing :
the smiles can come from different places-
or from a real place of the soul;
or from a fake place of the masked ego…


A child is joyful-
his joy comes from a place of innocence;
A fool is joyful-
his joy comes from a place of ignorance;
A man is still joyful-
 after being wronged by others many times,
his joy comes from a place of his compassion;
A man is still joyful -
after all the heartbreaks and tribulations-
his joy comes from a place of his inner strength…


Thus-
Joy to joy can be of different depths;
Man to man can be of worlds apart,
but to a fool,

they are all the same
