“To work with God’s happiness bubbling in the soul is to carry a portable paradise within you wherever you go.”
Paramahansa Yogananda
I woke today with happiness
I rose up feeling fine
I listened to the falling rain
I felt it wash my Mind
The freshness of the morning
The coolness of the air
The fragrance of the blossoms
Assured me I was there
It was Paradise I woke to
It was vibrant, it was clear
It was beckoning me to enter
It was whispering in my ear
“Just stay in this environment
No need to run away
Hold happiness within your soul
Know Paradise all day”
I loved the simple elegance
I loved the pulsing beat
I loved the feeling that I felt
I’m home and now complete
I’ll live this day in Paradise
I’ll sleep in its embrace
I’ll wake again tomorrow
I’ll stay within this space
It is Paradise I wake to
It is vibrant, it is clear
It is beckoning me to live Here
It is whispering in my ear
“Just stay in this environment
No need to run away
Hold happiness within your soul
Know paradise all day”
It Is So and So It Is
