HAPPINESS IS LIKE THE SKY
The word 'happy' is related to the word 'happen'.Happiness is not a destination, then, or a goal.
It cannot be generated, bought or sold.It has nothing to do with how much you have.It cannot be controlled.
It simply happens.It happens when you stop seeking it.It happens when you cease trying so hard.It happens when you least expect it.
It happens in the gap between thoughts.It happens in the silence underlying sounds.It happens in the stillness of the morning,or as the sun gently sets,or as your heart breaks.
It can happen in the midst of sorrow,grief, doubt, confusion, fear.It can happen when you are unhappy,for it has no opposite, no enemy, no limit.It is never far away.
It is like the sky, ever-present,even as the rain falls,even as the storm rages.Do not seek happiness;be it, know it, remember it.
- Jeff Foster
