"..why did that happen to me tonight? It seems that no matter how hard I try, I just can't have joy in my life. Why is that?.."Trinity said while sniffling.
"Oh, my dear child, you have joy. God gives it out equally to all. It's us that either accepts or denies it."
"How can you say that? Look at me and my life, where is this joy that you are talking about?"
"I promise you, it's there. The problem is you're looking for it in the wrong place. It's not in a physical world or body, it never has been and never will be. Physical beauty is a fleeting illusion."
"Wealth and beauty do not bring happiness, but neither does poverty nor ugliness. So, if happiness is not in those things or in the lack of them, then it must be someplace else."
...I only found joy when I realized that happiness was not dependent on anything outside of me."
"Then if it's not in the way you look or what you have, what is it?"
"It's constantly being aware of the good that you do have, and learning to be content with simple things. It's in forgetting the past, and giving up on trying to change the things that you can't. It's in discovering new things, and achieving whatever it is you set out to do, and the greatest of all, it's in trying to add joy and happiness to someone else's life. The people I've met that do those things, to me are the most beautiful and rich people I know."
"I loved you even when I couldn't see you, then the first time I saw you I loved you more, and the second time even more, and so on.....Not because of the way you looked or didn't, but because you trusted me with your deepest self. That is to me what true beauty and love is. It's when you can be exaclty who you are around the person you love, and have them still love you."
"Take My Hand"
I found the strength to carry through
then found the door that led to you
In the darkness of my soul
You lit my path and made me whole
Rid your doubts and rid your fears
Let go of sadness wipe your tears
Find my cause and set me free
Take my hand and marry me.
