About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write.
Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground.

Loving Life
Prompt: Life
"Life is a song - sing it. Life is a game - play it. Life is a challenge - meet it. Life is a dream - realize it. Life is a sacrifice - offer it. Life is love - enjoy."
Sai Baba
What do you love about life?
-------
To begin with I love this quote. However, do I do what it suggests? Nope, not all of it and not all the time.
This may be because I am not good at challenges and contests, anymore. Maybe it is because of my age. Nowadays, I shy away from challenges or contests, even those lovely contests here in WdC I used to so love, once upon a time.
Okay, still, I have a love for life, be it dimmed somewhat. Life can be messy, unpredictable or overwhelming, but it has truly precious moments I may tend to overlook. So I stick to those moments like flotation devices in deep water.
Then, there are the sensations, some physical, others imagined: warmth of the sun on my skin, the taste of my favorite food, the sound of my son's laughter, the pretty sight of the first rose on my new rosebush, my cousins' voices saying hello on the phone from all over the world...All these small pleasures echo inside me even after they end.
Surely, writing and reading, and learning something new each day, be it how to cook something or a new word in a language I once studied, help me embrace a new understanding, a new passion, or a new skill. Not only these things give me the satisfaction of accomplishment, but also, they encourage my curiosity for further explorations.
Ultimately, what I love about life is a deeply personal journey of discovery. It's about identifying what truly sparks a happy feeling, what ignites my passion, and what gives me a sense of purpose.
