Parvati Magazine Summer 2014 - Freedom and Delight | Page 14

MEDITATION BUBBLING UP From Within I “Delight was always present in my connection to the natural world.” always associate delight with bubbles, for it seems to be a state that comes up from within, often as unexpected mirth. It makes me think of babies whose smiles and gurgles cause an almost magical apparition to take place. It is as if pure happiness shines forth from their tiny bodies. How blessed we feel when we are the receivers of such joy. Dividing the word into syllables gives us: de light. ‘De’ means ‘of’ in French. So we might better think of delight meaning ‘producer of light’. That explains babies and us.
