"...Why should the world need more anger, more outrage? How does it save the world to reject unabashed joy when it is joy that saves us? Rejecting joy to stand in solidarity with the suffering doesn't rescue the suffering. The converse does. The brave who focus on all things good and all things beautiful and all things true, even in the small, who give thanks for it and discover joy even in the here and now, they are the change agents who bring fullest Light to all the world..."

Hi there,
I just wanted to comment on how wonderful and appropriate that quote is! It's funny; here on the blogosphere (in my circle, at least) it's been a rather quiet, somber week of few posts and lots quiet time, sadness, reflection.... and then suddenly today there was an uprising of posts about joy, spring, beauty, and appreciating the world as we head into spring...

So true!! Thank you for the reminder.
I'm reading this & making my list too. :)
Blessings,
Michele
