“Joy is far less fragile than happiness. Joy seems to come from an unconditional wish to live, the willingness to accept life whole and show up to make the most of whatever is there. It has a kind of invincibility that attachment to any particular outcome would deny us.”
— Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D. and Author, The Little Book of Kitchen Table Wisdom
