Joy in hand
Joy unfolds in my hands
Every time I hold Joy in my hands, I feel a warmth emanating from within.
It unravels like a delicate flower blooming, revealing its tender sense of goodness. The weightlessness of joy dances against my palms, filling my heart with a sense of contentment. I am healed.
I watch as it expands and spreads its contagious energy that I so spontaneously can capture with my iPhone 13.
Joy unfolds in my hands, sweeping away any traces of worry or sadness that I experienced as a child of two stricken with Polio.
Joy is a gift that cannot be contained but must be shared, for its essence lies in its ability to multiply and bring happiness to others.
In these moments, I am reminded of the immense power that joy holds and how it has the capacity to transform even the darkest of days.

Joy in Hand was shot with Hipstamatic app on my iPhone 13 using double exposure. I first captured my hand’s shadow cast against an igneous rock of granite. On the next shot I superimposed a spring bloom of Ceanothus (California Lilac) against an intense azure desert sky. Look closely and you’ll see into a world within reach; a World of Joy!
Once I saw it, I could see how I can capture the energy of joy in any moment and radiate it out to all around me. It’s a joy to be shared.
