This month’s theme is “Joy”

    Joy is the canary in the coal mine. As joy is squeezed out of people, their lives are threatened as if the air had become poisonous. It is impossible to thrive on the bread of despair, the gruel of joylessness, the struggle just to breathe. Joy is a life- line to hope, to the conviction that tomorrow can be better than today, and to the belief that the struggle is worth it. The rebirth of joy is a process that often begins where evidence of possibility is not obvious. Yet the winds of change signal a change in direction, breathing new life, and nurturing unexpected regeneration. They usher in a new dawn, enlivening the spirit, with an ode to joy that is soul-full.
