What if joy isn’t something we chase, but something we return to?
In this season's opening episode of our new theme, On Joy, I reflect on what it means to slow down, pay attention, and remember joy—not the loud or curated kind, but the quiet, complex, deeply human kind.
Through personal reflection, spiritual tension, generational memory, and a whole lot of pondering, this video essay sets the tone for a season-long exploration of joy in all its forms—emotional, embodied, resistant, communal, and mundane.
This isn’t a guide. It’s an invitation. To listen. To breathe. To feel.
Joy is still possible. And you’re still here.
