The matriarch of all emotions

Last night I found myself up at 2 AM with a stunning awareness of joy blooming in my heart—open almost like a big pink lotus flower. This doesn't happen often. Something inside me opened in the most joyous way possible, my heart expanding beyond what I thought it could hold.

I heard someone say once that joy is the matriarch of all emotions—that you have to let all the other hard things in first to experience that pure elation. This profound truth has been unfolding in my life lately, and I can't help but share this revelation with you.
