Joy is here ,Happiness is here
Why do I need to wait for it
Some other day, Some other place
Its right here ,Its right now!
If I am present and alive-
and conscious
I can feel that Joy is here and now!
If I am conscious enough
of pendulum swing of mind - backwards and forwards
to the past and the future
If i can stick my conscious to
the present hour, minute and second-
Then I may feel that Joy is here
Happiness is here!
As Thoreau in Walden states:
“In any weather, at any hour of the day or night,
I have been anxious to improve the nick of time,
and notch it on my stick too;
to stand on the meeting of two eternities,
the past and future,
which is precisely the present moment;
to toe that line.”
― Walden
