Joy is the name of the street...

This fall I was in Boston walking on a street that pre-dated automobiles. When I looked up, I saw the street was called “Joy.” I knew I wanted to draw it. I knew MissyAnn wanted to dance on the sign. I also knew that the journey to that street can be long and worth it. It can also happen instantaneously for me~ most often when a moment of beauty catches me off-guard and I am filled with awe and delight. I laughed out loud because of course the street was a hill. Sometimes it’s uphill to get to Joy. Sometimes we float downhill when walking on Joy. Of course, I wanted to stay there on the street called Joy, but there were other places to go. I lingered, soaked it in and then walked on. And still, I love that now, in my mind and in my heart, I know there is a street named Joy. I know too, that it is a worthy destination. I also know it isn’t just in Boston. Now I keep a look out. I try to slow down, to let my heart be surprised. And here’s what I’ve discovered, the street called “Joy” is all around us.

Please feel free to share this email of joy with someone you love.
