When were you last suprised by joy?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for July 22, 2008:
Today. I was walking by myself, planning on a quiet meditation, concentrating on my breathing, taking great strides of effort towards "making progress" on my path; and I kept getting interupted by the amazingly beautiful world around me. So much so, I gave up on my original plan, and gave myself over to the appreciation of all the miracles of nature around me instead.
It's as if the beauty was just hammering on the door, trying to get in. And when I let it in, there was joy.

Interesting how that happens isn't it. I'm planning to notice it in process more and more instead of in hindsight.
