Too often, joy is lacking from our lives . . .
This debut poetry collection takes a slanted view at five aspects of being human: life, love, loss, longing, and laughter. Pain and struggle and suffering is a given in life—for some more than others. Joy is inseparable from sorrow and pain; joy finds its footing in the latter.
Each day, each morning, we have a choice to make: misery or joy. Joy is the better option.
First thing after sunrise,
scoop two bowls of joy—
manna from the desert floor;
one you soak your heart in,
the other pour it out: on friend
and foe and foreigner—
the only, only way
for peace to stay
Two bowls of joy to you!
