Word of the Year 2021: Joy 3: Surprise Vista


When I think of times I've felt joy, invariably I think of the first time I saw this, and of each time afterward that I saw it: 

 

Highway 380 between San Antonio and Carrizozo, New Mexico. November 2012.

I gasped at the surprise of the drop, the opening up, the vastness, the mountain-range frame of this massive painting.

My joy - maybe that of a bird when she catches an air current that lifts her up, effortlessly, and she soars.

On joy so far
