Don’t Hesitate

If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don’t
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, that’s often the case. Anyway,
whatever it is, don’t be afraid of its plenty. Joy is
not made to be a crumb.
