find an ample measure of my own joy.

We must be our own before we can be another's.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

In many ways, it is easier to be a good giver than a good receiver.
The giver chooses the gift and the timing.
More important, societal and religious traditions
tend to elevate the status of giver and lower the status of receiver.
When the Bible (Acts 20:32-35) speaks of it being
more blessed to give than to receive,
I believe that a better translation might be
"take" rather than "receive," as the context
of that passage is "coveting."
Certainly there is nothing blessed about coveting,
stealing, begging, or demanding,
however the skill of graciously receiving a freely offered gift
is another matter entirely.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

We must be ready to learn from one another,
not claiming that we alone possess all truth

Another day, another dollar, another war, another tower
Went up where the homeless had their home.
- Jewel

Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves

Trust in the Light.
Darkness is not a force -
it is merely the absence of light.
Observe that when a light is brought to a dark place,
the darkness disappears.
Sadness is similar -
when joy is brought to suffering,
the sadness disappears.
Open yourself to the Light!
Hold back nothing,
Trust in the Light.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

and then accept whatever Spirit provides,
we live a life of purpose and joy.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

with completing the obligations
that your labor and tasks require of you.

Every optimist moves along with progress and hastens it,
while every pessimist would keep the worlds at a standstill.
The consequence of pessimism in the life of a nation

Pessimism kills the instinct that
urges men to struggle against poverty,
ignorance and crime, and dries up
all the fountains of joy in the world.

Sadness is nothing more than the absence of joy
in the same way that darkness
is nothing more than the absence of light.

Open your mind, open your heart,
and the way to joy becomes clear.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
