Finding joy
Was a daily discovery in youth
Except for the disappointments
That came, the hurt, the heartbreaks.
Made me strong and wise
So today I can still have joy
With the disappointments,
The hurt, the heartbreaks.

I so appreciate Jim's thoughtful poem. It is a helpful reminder in this time of political and cultural chaos -- to look for the joy, to find the joy -- and know that it is there, too, and that it can sustain us.
