Happy Holidays, New Year, Solstice, and Celebration of the Diversity and magnificence of Human Life and the Universe, one and all! WHERE ARISES JOY IN THE LIFE OF MAN OR WOMAN ? Nature, friends, family, strangers who are people of goodwill, doing some simple random act of kindness, music, wisdom, knowledge, a walk in the woods, on the beach, or in the mountains, the warmth of the reason, wisdom and love found in the great philosophies such as that of Joshua the Nazarene, the clarity of a universe and world illuminated by science, in leaving trails of benevolent thoughts and ideas amidst the cacophony of the material world, a nice cup of coffee or tea - perhaps with a little rum on a special occasion. Happiness is the efflux of the soul. I think that it lies there in the open air, waiting at all times. NOW it flows unto us, and we are rightly charged. Walt Whitman : Joy, beautiful Divine sparks [the stars], daughters of Elysium. We enter your sanctuary intoxicated with fire .... all people are as brothers, where the gentle wings of joy rest. ..... You billions, do you sense your CREATOR, World? Schiller - Beethoven - Ode to Joy - S. 9, movement 4 : From the film, Immortal Beloved - a masterpiece in film, a waking dream sequence in which Herr Beethoven recalls an event in his early life, one that inspired his final great symphony, a symphony in which we realize that we are children of the Universe, no less than the trees and the stars. We have right to be here. https://youtube/watch?v=N4VouG_EO60
