Heartfelt connection brings joy. To share what is alive in us, with candor and empathy, brings joy. For me even just the thought of connection, just the remembrance of it, brings joy. Communing with a friend while walking in the cold rain with soaking wet feet, arms aching from holding the umbrella against the wind – joyful. Crying with a friend on the phone – joyful. Even speaking with a stranger on Zoom, if the intention is to be present for one another with empathy – joyful. And suddenly I am remembering that colorful little book from my son's childhood: More More More, Said the Baby. Yes – more more more – please.
