I didn’t plan to start this blog. I was just playing with an idea and the name came up in a search and it jumped out at me. The name is a funny play with words, a combination of Joyfulness and Essence. I don’t know if it will go anywhere or get any traffic. I want to keep this site simple and just see what happens.
When I write I often get words on the page or on the screen that didn’t come out of my head so I want to explore that a bit more. I’ve spooked people out by answering questions that were on their minds but they hadn’t yet asked. I’ve also provided them with just the words they needed at just the right time. These words don’t come from my ordinary everyday self. I don’t know where they come from so I’ll just say they are from elsewhere. I plan to offer for free some of these intuited writings to those who want them. I will set up a page where you can ask your questions.
I also want to explore what is the essence of joy. There’s so much bad news and trouble in the media and in social media that I find myself wanting to focus on joy and find ways to stay in a state of joy no matter what is going on around me. What is joy? It’s more than just pleasure but not as pervasive as happiness. Joy is something to be and not something to strive for or achieve like “happiness”.
