"Joy is the simplest form of gratitude."
- Karl Barth
Researchers studying emotional expression have found that when people feel a sudden surge of triumph - winning a game, solving a problem, nailing a performance - they often make an involuntary "victory display": arms up, chest lifted, face lit with a grin. What is wild is that this same posture appears in every culture studied, even in people who were born blind. It is the human body going fully cock-a-hoop all on its own.
Cock-a-hoop in open cheer,
turns hard-won effort bright and dear.
When joy erupts without disguise,
the room itself will start to rise.
Happy and so bright,
Cock-a-hoop with joy and cheer,
Exultation's fun.
