Since being awakened and experiencing other dimensions of light I can't help but think that many other creatives are experiencing more of light's truer ability. There is something more that is hidden from our two-dimensional eyes and one must seek in order to see the light living in the haystack--not simple metaphors anymore.

The joys start as a welling up in the stomach, then floods to the heart, then the throat and as it continues inching it’s way up, I’m a goner and I'm done for. This one is JOY personified!
