I first came across this phrase when I heard the song "Joy of Nothing" by Foy Vance
lyrics
video/interview with Foy Vance
buy on iTunes
As he says in his interview - the joy of nothing is the joy of the mundane, the joy of everyday. That is exactly what I take it to be.
I am so passionate about being present in life, obviously we are here, but I want to be present in the everyday. I don't always make it, but I try very hard to be.
*today's joy of nothing*
-the one speck of glitter sitting on the table next to me as I type this.
-the way the vertical blinds dance from the breeze of the fan.
-the family portrait that was taken years ago with a tripod and timer and the old school clothes everyone is wearing in it.
-the lampshade that was moved out of kilter when I turned it on so that my grandma and I could facetime my mom.
