I have never known anyone so obsessed with the subject of joy as my old friend James McReynolds. When I read his books about joy, I have the feeling that his whole being is somehow absorbed in his one great human emotion.
His writings simply exude the perpetual excitement he experiences at merely contemplating the subject. His scholarly approach will contribute to infamy as years from now his work will holds its value.
I envy that. Jim must live continuously on the verge of tingling and shouting at the mention of the word. He is indeed a “joyologist,” as he has styled himself.
He is someone whole life has been devoted to and absorbed in his one vitally important human emotion. Apparently, Jim and his wife Laurel live in a constant state of enjoyment. They become instantly excitable at the thought of it.
Their home must glow with a special aura. I can’t imagine what it would be like living next to one of the world’s great generators, so that the atmosphere would hum with the power and energy emitted by their love and excitement.
Jim’s readers can feel this. They can sense it after reading even a page or two of his latest book. The emotion is almost beyond infectious. Sharing his joy permeates the entire atmosphere of the words as they arise from the paper on which they are printed.
