Joy

 Joy has become a radical act.  Many people decry the world situation.  There is drugs, trafficking, migration issues, intractable wars, worldliness focus on ME, polarization.  Well, joy in the face of this would be radical. But I have seen this joy in  the recovering alcoholic and drug addict.  They hit bottom, ran out of power to fix their life and turned to a Higher Power.  They have become radical people, and now they try to help others, which is different than decrying the state of the world but doing nothing locally.  This is a double action that gives me joy.  I see them happy within and then happy trying to share their joy with others who are where they once were, empty, scared and desperate.
