Healthy Tips: Happiness: The Steady Flame, Not the Fireworks
Health Tip: Happiness gets a lot of press, but it’s often misunderstood. It’s not the sugar rush of emotions. It’s more like a steady flame in the fireplace—not flashy, but warming everything it touches.
Practical example: Think of the satisfaction of sitting on the porch after mowing the lawn, a glass of water in hand, a cool breeze blowing. You’re not giddy. You’re not chasing anything. You’re simply there. That’s happiness. This emotional sense helps you recognize contentment, alignment, peace. It says, “You’re okay here.” And sometimes, that’s everything.
Teaser for Post 5: We’ll wrap the series with the emotional sense that ties all the others together—one that turns insight into connection.

Love ~ A Poem by Sir Walter Scott
Love
Sir Walter Scott
In peace, Love tunes the shepherd’s reed;
In war, he mounts the warrior’s steed;
In halls, in gay attire is seen;
In hamlets, dances on the green.
Love rules the court, the camp, the grove,
And men below and saints above;
For love is heaven, and heaven is love.
Loving Oneself Is the First Step
“We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.” ~ Dalai Lama
The Divine Image ~ A Poem by William Blake
The Divine Image
William Blake
To Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love
All pray in their distress;
And to these virtues of delight
Return their thankfulness.
For Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love
Is God, our father dear,
And Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love
Is Man, his child and care.
For Mercy has a human heart,
Pity a human face,
And Love, the human form divine,
And Peace, the human dress.
Then every man, of every clime,
That prays in his distress,
Prays to the human form divine,
Love, Mercy, Pity, Peace.
And all must love the human form,
In heathen, turk, or jew;
Where Mercy, Love, & Pity dwell
There God is dwelling too.

love is a place
e. e. cummings
love is a place
& through this place of
love move
(with brightness of peace)
all places
yes is a world
& in this world of
yes live
(skilfully curled)
all worlds
