To open the new year, here is a quote from Mary Oliver that was appended at the bottom of a Christmas letter from the Hickmans, friends of ours the next town over. Oliver says: If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, dont 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, thats often the case. Anyway, whatever it is, dont be afraid of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb.
