CUP OF HAPPINESS

.

.


Becoming miserable by trying to become happy


Is like pouring water over your head trying to become dry


Instead -


The search could just be a straight beeline towards the golden flower


Of Happiness


Which might be quite different than what one imagines


Imagined happiness might require a lot of things our egos flash


Before our eyes


But real happiness might be something completely different


It might be noticing a ray of sunlight on a red fall leaf


It might be that first restoring sip of tea


Happiness is not restricted to only certain people


With certain things, no, happiness is often just a matter


Of removing the obstacles to happiness, like wrong thinking


Wrong choices, or being in the wrong place


Happiness is something that happens to the mind


At peace with itself, to the body that is well treated


To the gumption that does what it can, where it can


To be kind and mindful to others and ourselves


Happiness is not a complex maze of accomplishments and gain


It is just the natural state of our inner children who want to play


Running through a field of flowers, holding the golden flowers of happiness


That most sought-after prize, in our hands.
