This morning out of nowhere, happiness assailed me. I felt so good, light and buoyant. I felt I could fly with it. Why and what is it, I wondered when my mind told me to just enjoy it and flew with it. I did. It was a wondrous feeling of euphoria, perfect joy.

In school, I read the book Perfect Joy of St. Francis. Those words stay with me ever since. I do experience it now and again, that joy untainted by anything or any clouds.
