Joy

I received a blesing when I was in India years ago, and it begins like this: "You are a special soul, one who always remains in joy." The blessing goes on quite a bit longer, and is incredibly precious to me. And I can see that that really is the foundation of what I understand to be most important ~ joy. It's a wonderful measuring stick against which to evaluate everything else. To ask: does this create joy, pure and powerful and whole?
