Happiness – It’s the Berries
It’s deeper than the colors that dance into your eyes – although it makes them more vibrant. It’s brighter than the sweet-tart flavors exploding on your tongue – although it brings them to life.
It packs the power of a barrel full of nutrients; it feeds your heart, your mind, your soul.
It gets into your bloodstream and pushes its sunlight through your veins. It builds your cells with its earthiness and sparkles across your synapses with glee.
It’s as silent and invisible as air, and as necessary and free. It fills all your spaces. It carries all your light and all your songs.
It rushed inside you when you gulped your first breath and took up residence. And none of your howls or tears were ever enough to evict it, nor will they be. It’s become you, its quantum particles all dancing hulas with your DNA.
It’s the pulp and the joy-juice of life. It’s the stuff that smiles are made of, and kindness and compassion. It’s the seeds of potential and possibilities.
It’s happiness. And among life’s gifts, it’s the berries.
