Joyfulness

A Healing Habit

Tak C. Poon, MD

 

Worldly wonders give me pleasure and happiness,
about half the time, when things go right.

Rough realities teach me pain and acceptance,
when things go wrong, the other half of the time.

But life, all by itself, is joy,
all the time, with all that’s in it,
when I take it off the measuring scale
and dance with it in the ever-changing
yet eternal now.

And if I make a habit of not containing this joy,
it overflows,
showers my work,
suffuses my days,
and saturates my life.
