Compassion and Joy: A Few of My Favorite Things

This poem has inspired others to find the simplest form of inner spirituality.  It teaches us that a two words; compassion and joy, can lead us to have successful lives filled with happiness.

_ _ _ _

And Joy is Everywhere; It is in the Earth’s green covering of grass; In the blue serenity of the Sky; In the reckless exuberance of Spring; In the severe abstinence of gray Winter; In the Living flesh that animates our bodily frame; In the perfect poise of the Human figure, noble and upright; In Living; In the exercise of all our powers; In the acquisition of Knowledge; In fighting evils…Joy is Everywhere.

-”Joy,” by Rabindranath Tagore – Indian Poet
