Joy
A short Ma’at meditation on joy, truth, and the discipline of right living.
Do not spend all your days in gloom, nor all in mirth.
All toil and no laughter makes a life a burden; all play and no purpose leaves a life empty.
Find joy in small blessings – a cool breeze at noon, a shared smile.
Better a simple meal with a glad heart than a feast eaten in bitterness.
Gratitude turns what you have into enough.
When your heart is at peace with its portion, the gods themselves smile with you.
