Finding joy

" There is a place of integrity within where the true self lives, that place where you don't deceive yourself, the home of truth.  It could be a bloody place, a place of real severity, and it can often be involved with suffering.

But the pain will dissolve, the wounds will heal, and peace will bloom, once you choose and commit to finding the source of your life's joy within you.  Then the negativity is transmuted on the altar of your honesty, and the flower of your life blossoms in joy, loving, and abundance. "
