It awakened, then seized me, this joy that I AM. In its awakening, my existence collapsed. The façade of doing was done. You are like that. Changed! What appeared to be in ruins is riches gained. What you have gained is knowing the truth of your own being. Your value is on display. You are the light in the harbor for all to see. You can hide no longer. Stay in prison if you wish, but your light will pour through the bars just the same. You dwell now in awareness. You no longer journey without joy. Attachments have fallen away. You reside within. What can the world offer that you do not have? Open yourself to joy. It is your journey now. It is the path you follow. Behold your true nature in the light of new beginnings. You are the joy within. You are the light of the world. Do not claim this aloud. Show yourself as you are. The fool may be wiser than the scholar. Who knows?
