“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 happened 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.”
Mary Oliver
