If we can discern where, if at all, joy and patience become two ends of the same bridge, then truly we could say that The Path of Beauty leads to bliss. We may even discover what the beauty of joyous-patience is. This should put us on the right track to see if there is a connection between joy and patience, for if there is none, then we have no bridge connecting beauty and bliss. To ask if we can have joy without patience is the same as asking if we can have joy with impatience. So we see that Patience is necessary for consistent joy.
Beauty leads to joy.
Patience is the source of Bliss. The personal bridge of Joyous-Patience connects beauty with Bliss. If we carry beauty in our hearts, our storm will become a small wind. If our storm becomes a small wind, then we can practice joyful labor. If we practice joyful labor, we can build The Bridge Of Joyous-Patience.
