Finding Joy

As I commented during the Friend’s meeting today, staying focused on the divine and love is easy when I get up in the middle of the night to pray and meditate.  That focus is a bit harder in the presence of daily distractions or when doing things like the dishes or weeding the yard.  However, it is still quite possible to stay focused on love, gratitude and the divine while performing mundane activities, a joyful experience.  That focus is harder still when experiencing pain or a body that, like mine, does not cooperate, but it is still possible and it brings a strong sense of joy, in the midst of pain.
