But this world doesn't always cooperate with
our deepest desires. Things happen that change
our dreams, our desires, even our perceptions.
Sometimes, it's good. Sometimes, it's bad. But if
we are open to finding miracles, bad things don't
destroy us. I have learned this one thing in my nine
years. That's why my spirit is still puddle-jumping
and trying to slide down rainbows. (Evan Lovejoy,
"All the Colors of the Heart")
Healing, thriving, joy, inner peace, and less suffering--these
are gifts that are truly to be cherished. How do we acquire
these gifts in this chaotic world? Mindfulness of emotional
patterns of energy is the key. Rhonda Parsons is a person
using these feelings to help her live her best life. This energy
is infused into every poem and story she writes. Let's read
for joy!
