Unearthly happiness

    


 UNEARTHLY   HAPPINESS

                "Child, fear God and, besides Him,
                fear nothing else."
                (St. John Chrysostom)

 –  A simple answer to a long Google search for "Happiness"?

Love and creativity, I think, my light.
More important than freedom, money, fame, power,

health, friendship, sex, cigarettes,
the wine of knowledge and every other passion...

(...)

But there is, my friend, a trickier answer.

Sometimes it grates on the nerves
of someone stuck in the karmic loop

of fighting for dollars or euros
and "holy" believing in money, in their blizzard...

No one can buy the sparkle of happy raindrops
in a mushroom rain from childhood years...

There is God in life. Immortality –  in Agape.
The holy, uncreated light of Communion.

He –  is a Gift for growth, for such a trifle! –
to open eyes: to tune your ear to Him.

To forgive enemies, feeling pity,
love and a noble, meek spirit...

So, in the rain, trustingly, like children,
we walk to Him, not into slavery to the enemy.

We grow into Him –
into His uncreated light!

For eternity –  is happiness!
Even in the earthly circle...
