I want to live with joy

so radically

that everything that comes into my awareness is met with eager curiousity and a complete absence of judgment.

Is this humanly possible?

Probably not

but I'm going to try anyway.

I worry, I judge, I get annoyed,

I get hopeless, I get exhausted--

until I stop myself--

why am I doing this to myself?

Do it differently--

I want to live with so much joy

that I simply get up,

do what I can,

laugh at it all, & be--

inexplicably happy.
