Question posed by another blogger, who is an entertaining writer and a marvelous student of nature:
“And so I wonder, what do you do to fill your soul with joy?”
I find joy while in my hygge . . . sipping a cup of coffee with cream, sugar, and vodka . . .
Rereading poems such as
The Raven
Daffodils
The Last Leaf
The Cloud
...(from One Hundred and One Famous Poems, a volume given to me in 1949 by my father) . . .
The Old Lawman
(written by an old man in his retirement years . . . )
. . . while listening to Beethoven or Tchaikovsky . . .
. . . and the sibilant sighing and the awesome aroma of the romantic rain . . . especially effective if there's a steady rain and my window's open.
It's inspirational!
