This is my second reflection on the Singles' Conference. I laughed a lot, listened very deeply, and was frequently moved down to my very toes. I think I learned a lot about happiness being a state of being... one I can choose to live day by day...rather than thinking that either the nice weather, a good meal, lively entertainment, or a good friend would help me to get into whenever it or he/she was avaiaable...
Could it be that I was not talking about mind dominating matter...could it be that what I am trying to describe is an outgoing orientation of my whole person to connecting with life as it is... sorrows and joys and failures and successes... all warmly protected by the ongoing experience of being constant united to the Loving Presence of God...

Just for clarification, Joseph, you aren't being held hostage in a London hotel are you? That's the email I got from "you" which seemed pretty weird.
I got the same e-mail and was certain that Joseph's e-mail account had been hacked. If he had been robbed at gunpoint and was stranded in London, he would have the power of the entire Catholic Church that could and would come to his rescue in a heartbeat. That message clearly did not originate with the Joseph that we know.
All is well with Joseph, and this post is powerful in its connection. Happiness can be in which way the river flows.
I have been to Honolulu, to Seoul, and to Jerusalem... never, never, never to London
I would love to see London some day and if you ever actually get stuck there I will come.
