Perfect leggings
Warm feet

joybook 6

The day ahead unrolls.
A magic carpet.

joybook 5

We sit
Fingers linked
A smile-off

joybook 4

Pouring the ink
Inhaling the aroma of its promise
Five leaves of bamboo

joybook 3

.....biting off great mouthfuls of gloriously blue sky

joybook 2

Tears close the book
Cleansing pleasure
The joy of pain

This month I'm embarking on quite a challenge, 31 days of Joy, reflecting on those small and large moments of pure pleasure  every single day...a challenge because I am by nature a rather mournful and melancholy person who feels things in quite an even, neither up nor down sort of way. So. But I think that finding something every day to be joyful about and making a note of that in some way is just another extension of observation, awareness, mindfulness. It's all about waking up.

Blessings and sincere thanks to Writing Our Way Home for this precious gift.
