Dear Spirit to Spirit friend,
In these days of sometimes- perhaps often- finding it difficult to remember the joy, here is a poem by Mary Oliver.
If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don't hesitate. Give in to it.
There are plenty of lives and whole towns
destroyed or about to be.
We are not wise, and not very often
kind. And much can never be redeemed.
Still, life has some possibility left. Perhaps this
is its way of fighting back, that sometimes
something happens better than all the riches
or power in the world.
It could be anything, but very likely you notice
it in the instant when love begins.
Anyway, that's often the case.
Anyway, whatever it is, don't be afraid of its plenty.
Joy is not made to be a crumb.
In Gratitude & Love, Joanna
