We look for joy as if it were a place,6Please respect copyright.PENANAzuLW7qF5a8
some distant island where the sun forgets how to set.6Please respect copyright.PENANAqb22kRUnoY
But happiness was never a final resting space,6Please respect copyright.PENANAmq8Gf8TJGP
never a room exempt from shadows or the sudden, heavy rains.
It is just the daily turning of the soil.6Please respect copyright.PENANARH6JLj6y0B
The plain, unglamorous choices we make,6Please respect copyright.PENANAcmE3jguIRe
the gentle hands that steady themselves through the toil,6Please respect copyright.PENANAi8mMDojSe3
and the patient, tired feet6Please respect copyright.PENANATBTWkIiCUw
that learn to wander gracefully through the gray.
When the sunshine finally pours and everything is bright,6Please respect copyright.PENANApgVbLmzuiW
hold it with an open palm.6Please respect copyright.PENANAjqSc8wFfo4
Do not try to bind the passing warmth or overfill the sight.
And when the sudden storms begin to break,6Please respect copyright.PENANAT3q5Bcn9Vf
and winds of sorrow shake the fragile door,6Please respect copyright.PENANAIDfCsdKiyD
remember what your own two hands can make out of the wreckage.6Please respect copyright.PENANAng6ZmSLj98
You are the anchor,6Please respect copyright.PENANA16nEXDNJf7
holding deeper than the floor.
Navigate the weather as it comes and goes.6Please respect copyright.PENANAO7s9RnAL0z
Stand there with a grounded heart that refuses to depart,6Please respect copyright.PENANAsl1ewh3QMC
because happiness is not a wind that never blows—6Please respect copyright.PENANAJUs1fd8St2
it is the steady compass6Please respect copyright.PENANAhkLDpYqjM8
resting in your heart.
We draw maps upon maps,6Please respect copyright.PENANAtRWpqi9jwa
Searching for hidden passages to peace, while the rule asks very little:6Please respect copyright.PENANALHJzPSTQLI
Simple things know the way home.6Please respect copyright.PENANATDgr0Afvlb
