"Let me keep company
always with those who
say, "Look!" and laugh
in astonishment . . ."
~Mary Oliver
Being gifted with age,
I find myself wowed
beyond the pale at
how many different
kinds of people exist.
There are those so
filled with joy they
simply cannot hold
it in.
A few so dour, can't
imagine how they
face each day.
Some solemn, others
sad. Obviously, there
are people in every
category known to
mankind.
I've concluded what
I want for myself, is
the choice.
All moods have their
place, per se. But god
awful to spend all of
life in the dumps.
Methinks choosing joy
above all else just might
be a wondrous thing!
