Writing with Pine Needles: JOY

JOY, noun: The passion or emotion excited by the acquisition or expectation of good; that excitement of pleasurable feelings which is caused by success, good fortune, the gratification of desire or some good possessed, or by a rational prospect of possessing what we love or desire; gladness; exultation; exhilaration of spirits. Mirth; festivity; happiness; felicity.

“Joy is a delight of the mind, from the consideration of the present
or assured approaching possession of a good.” —Locke

—Noah Webster’s 1828 Dictionary

“You make known to me the path of life;
in Your presence there is fullness of joy;
at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”
—Psalm 16:11 (emphasis added)

If you find the fresh smell of pine pleasureful, you’re welcome to write with your own twigs and needles! (And if you take a picture, please share a link in the comment section – I’d enjoy seeing what you come up with!)

Hi Emily Rose,
I enjoyed your post with “Joy” written in pine needles. Your photos are just lovely!!

Since my family has pine trees in our yard, I took on your invitation and made a similar word in pine needles. You can see it in my newest blog post.

Merry Christmas to you!

I’d like to create my own, but there are no pines near of me.
