Unflinching Joy

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Joy is both a

gift and a practice,

but it isn’t primarily a

feeling any more than

self-control or faithfulness

are feelings. It is

a muscle we can

strengthen with exercise.

Tish Harrison Warren

Beauty lies where

pain has left its print

a symbol of the

struggle to liberate

oneself.

Magic Eye

Injustice is real common

but it is not the

end of the story.

Heartbreak is real but

 it gives way to redemption

suffering is real but

it cannot erase beauty.

Tish Harrison Warren

If you fly high enough

you can see the 

curvature of the Earth.

If you live long enough

you can see the

curvature of history.

Joy is not "toxic positivity"

It does not insist that

we pretend things are

better than they are.

It does not refuse to

face grief or sorrow.

But it does say that

they're not all there is

and that they are not all

that needs to be faced.

Tish Harrison Warren
