Joy

How it tickles its way down your spine;
darts into your heart to suddenly inflate it;
wiggles its way into your tummy
to make you giggle;
then brushes across your lungs
to make them sigh . . .

I felt this joy today when I saw
a single, slender yellow flower
daintily dancing in the dappled sunlight
among the pines.

Wonder!
The lovely kind of chills that
ripple over your body
when you can't believe the perfection
of something you see, or hear, or smell, or touch.
The way your eyes have to close for a moment
to take it in completely,
to imprint it in a special way upon the memory
of your heart as well as your mind.

I felt this wonder today when
a flittering little butterfly
sensed the dainty yellow flower
and paused to know it.

Completeness.
When the flittering little butterfly
twinkled away, taking part of the
dainty yellow flower with it and
leaving part of itself.

Miracle . . .
When the butterfly decides that
the sense it felt about the
yellow flower was more fulfilling than
it had ever know possible -
and returned to stay.
