I have not have the time or space to explore the theme of JOY although I have been a "Joy Seeker" for a long time. I know it and have felt it and it has saved me again and again midst the sometimes harsh realities of my world. This post today broke me open. The song ... Oh My. 🎶 I followed up on Marja's website where she describes her personal journey with JOY and this SONG. I found these words, "I inwardly gave up on this project a few times. I lost sight of the purpose. I didn’t believe it. I busied myself chasing other muses. But this song asked more of me. She asked me to persevere. To thaw my heart and embody the message despite the harsh realities of the times we live in. To hold the paradox of life with an open heart. To feel deeper than what I thought Unstoppable Joy was. And after all these years, I have come to understand what this mission and vision was about for me as an artist. It’s not about having some perfect video, or some landmark piece of art, or a hit song. It is about generating blessings, coming together with community and celebrating life while we are alive to appreciate it. " Thank-you for this "JOY" gift today - Phyllis 🙏
You're welcome. And thank you for sharing the composer/performer's story behind the song. Very poignant and something that I'm sure many of us find relatable . . . Remember that the Deep Dive materials will always be available to you so long as you're a supporting subscriber, so perhaps you can make more use of them when you have more "time and space." In the meantime, continue your joy-seeking, dear one!
