Question 1

What is joy?

Answer 1

Joy seems to be a step beyond happiness. Happiness is a sort of atmosphere you can live in sometimes when you’re lucky. Joy is a light that fills you with hope and faith and love.

Question 2

Summing up fear and joy

Answer 2

The dark does not destroy the light; it defines it. It’s our fear of the dark that casts our joy into the shadows.

Question 3

Sufficiency

Answer 3

Isn’t two steps from poverty or one step short of abundance. It isn’t a measure of barely enough or more than enough. Sufficiency isn’t an amount at all. It is my experience a context we generate, a deceleration, a knowing that there is enough and that we are enough.
