Be joyful though you have considered all the facts.

~Wendell Berry

when hope becomes real…

inquiry for today~ how is it to be deep in life today?

my deepest wishes…

What if joy is not only entangled with pain, or suffering, or sorrow,

but is also what emerges from how we care for each other through those things?

What if joy, instead of refuge or relief from heartbreak,

is what effloresces from us as we help each other carry our heartbreaks?

~Ross Gay
