JOY!!!!!!!!!!

I unexpected exploded this morning...

Maybe it's the sunshine; maybe it's because I spent a whole lot of yesterday talking about love, listening to the importance of love, and being surrounded by people I love.

But this morning, my heart just couldn't contain all the joy anymore and it felt like I burst into a million tiny coloured pieces of paper.

I'd been debating with a friend whether we can ever have too much joy - I reckoned not, he believed our heads explode if we reach our limit. For me it wasn't my head, but I certainly had something that just couldn't stay inside anymore.

I don't claim to understand the intellectual complexities of the word "jouissance" but a quick look at wiki has me intrigued by the idea that there is only so much pleasure that we can bear.

I think we were created to love, and that in our knowing we are loved, our connections with ourselves, each other and our world can bring immense, irrepressible joy. Sometimes we have to seek it out, sometimes we just can't help but find it. Happy joy hunting :D
