About joy

Joy is the feeling of being in right relationship:

With self.

With life.

With Source.

It’s what pours in when there is no resistance.

It’s what remains when nothing needs to be earned.

Joy is what the soul knows before language.

Before shame.

Before the forgetting.

To reclaim joy is not to bypass pain —

but to remember that joy was always there,

beneath the ache,

beneath the longing,

beneath the trying.

It waits like a spring under stone.

And when you let it bubble up — even for a moment —

you are not just healing.

You are remembering who you are.

Pleasure is the body’s song.

Where joy is the soul’s shimmer,

pleasure is the soul’s way of touching the world through the flesh.

It is the opening, the purring, the softening.

The electric yes when skin meets sun.

The relief of breath after contraction.

The warm sip of tea, the deep stretch, the rush, the moan, the stillness after.
