A Little Bit of Joy

Every day I need a little bit of joy.

We cannot cure the world of sorrows,

but we can choose to live in joy.

– Joseph Campbell

I bet you do too. So here’s

A Little Bit of Joy

for today.

And Joy is Everywhere;

It is in the Earth’s green covering of grass;

In the blue serenity of the Sky;

In the reckless exuberance of Spring;

In the severe abstinence of gray Winter;

In the Living flesh that animates our bodily frame;

In the perfect poise of the Human figure, noble and upright;

In Living;

In the exercise of all our powers;

In the acquisition of Knowledge;

in fighting evils…

Joy is there Everywhere.

– Rabindranath Tagore, 1861-1941
