Joy is
right here and now
I can’t box it up or save it for later
and though fear might tell me otherwise
it’s always available
It takes my full attention
(and that’s harder to collect on some days than others)
but when I do manage to bring myself all to one place
and to taste or touch or smell or see or hear
just
one
thing
that one thing becomes joy to me.
Joy to the world
The LORD is come.
