happiness as joy

Love is a genius present in all life. Sometimes lost in fear, then becoming anger and aggression  Addiction to material things like defenses and avoidances.

Happiness, like pleasure passes, is fleeting, temporary. But Joy is forever and independent of anything but choice to negate or abandon it. The difference is between a word and The Word, first a lighting bug and the latter The Big Bang.

And for this I have to thank Pamela Joyce Whatever, as yet her last name to me. Since for me last evening proved that she is not merely a girl, or a woman, but The Woman, first in seventy two years. Though limp as wet spaghetti, as always I sought her pleasure before mine and was rewarded with the sense that we are like the first couple; a pair. With infinity to inhabit . . . well actually we’re there already but oblivious . . . by we, I refer to us we all, the family of life.

"Life is the childhood of our immortality." - Goethe

I am a poor recorder of all the manifestations of The Presence; external/internal. Remember, always, this that I write is annotation of, and on, a process available to all; free for the asking. I will soon return to New Mexico to gather my furnishings; limited to that which I will be able to carry forward into my new life with Pam. Annie, my companion cat, is, of course top of the list and all the rest actually very little of importance follows. To my sense of things, it is the final audition for my life as it will be upon return to St. Johnsbury, VT.

I greet each day with gratitude and will be too long away for my taste but then will long remember these halcyon days and those to come.
