Comfort and Joy

Sometimes too much contemplation doesn't do anyone any good. The easy joys, the simple pleasures, get lost to view.

It's all very well to think about the sweep of time, the trajectory of a life, the arc of time passing  -  but there's a different way to look too.

Am I smiling? Right now this second? The answer is yes. And maybe that's all we need to know. It's actually really ridiculously easy to make me happy.
