Joy swims in pristine blue waters and plays in stunning forests with exquisite picturesque backdrops including cascading waterfalls gushing over cliffs dotted with pops of colourful flowers. She explores snow-capped mountains and finds serenity in fields and gardens exploding with colour in springtime. Each new season sees her meet different animals. She encounters a pink pelican that encourages her to explore a cave, perhaps the magic land could be in there. She befriends a deer in the forest and together they play and delight in nature\u2019s gifts. In the hostile winter, a goat becomes a much needed companion who guides Joy to a path that leads to a warm, lush, green valley. Finally, a bold and beautiful butterfly catches her attention and she follows the fluttering butterfly which leads to her final destination \u2026 where she does indeed find the teacher she has been searching for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"516\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.readingopensdoors.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Joys-Journey-page-6-xxx.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.readingopensdoors.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Joys-Journey-page-6-xxx.jpg 900w, https:\/\/blog.readingopensdoors.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Joys-Journey-page-6-xxx-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.readingopensdoors.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Joys-Journey-page-6-xxx-768x440.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Joy did experience magical places, more than she dared to dream and in each place she made a special friend and that teacher\u2026she is with Joy all along, as she realises she possesses the values and qualities in the teacher she is searching for.
