Or perhaps the two of you are just sharing a moment of spontaneous joy. It's lovely.<br /><br />Thank God for those friends who help us to remember the lasting truth, when we are worn out in the present moment.<br />Gbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08895779471612397202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-35247301551941158812012-09-10T10:04:39.283-07:002012-09-10T10:04:39.283-07:00What a beautiful and joyful connection between you...What a beautiful and joyful connection between you and Sophie.<br /><br />Best,<br />BonnieFrom the Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00789641912016566894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-54475765580136471752012-09-10T10:00:46.212-07:002012-09-10T10:00:46.212-07:00She is looking straight into your eyes!

Reading your post, I wonder at our (certainly my) perception of joy as fragile and non-joy as the substance too dense to be vanquished. I will start my day and week seeing if I can develop a different perspective in which joy is mighty and enduring, unable to be eclipsed by so much Everything Else. Your friend Jody and you have reminded me that joy may be more resilient than I thought.
