THE ARTIST OF HAPPINESS

The artist of happiness

Take me to the gallery where the only artist is you,

the creator, the inventor.

Teach me the Art of Happiness.

This gallery is different. The canvases are all empty.

It’s waiting for you to paint your emotions. Your picture of pleasure.

Exhilaration. Bliss. Contentment.

Strokes of purpose. Colours of passions. Forms of gratitude.

Dimensions never seen before.

I notice the absence of the dark colours of fear,

hatred, bigotry and aggression.

Instead there’s splashes of charity. Lighting up eyes and hearts.

It’s your gallery. You carry it with you. Visitors watch in awe as you articulate

peace, love, light.

Now it’s my turn to paint my own happy state of being.
