Not just joy ...


Monument in the Maneuth University campus in Ireland


We can still believe, but by acknowledging that, we must acknowledge there's a story to life - and all stories end. In the arc of our lives now, the story of life, bad things are beginning to happen as frequently as good - aging, illness, death - and we're instinctively afraid that if we open ourselves up fully, we'll let in not just joy, but sorrow.
Insulting, Jay Teitel


Does it ever get easier to stay open or just harder?

I am doing my best to find the good things in my life and cherish them. I love deeply. I laugh hard (so hard I sometimes snort). I still dream and believe that dreams are meant to be followed. I try to depend on God. I have so much to learn. I hope.
