understand this thing called joy

I think it is very important to understand this
thing called joy, the enjoyment of things.
When you see something very beautiful, you
want to possess it, you want to hold it, you
want to call it your own - `It is my tree, my
bird, my house, my husband, my wife.' We
want to hold it and in that very process of
holding, the thing that you once enjoyed is
gone; because, in the very holding, there is
dependence, there is fear, there is exclusion;
and so the thing that gave joy, the sense of
inward beauty is lost and life becomes
enclosed.
