Finding Joy

Here is a video that Ricardo Umana and I made just before he left for Anaheim last week Sad for us but happy for him). What was most interesting to me was what wasn't said in the video. For many, the pain of the question, "Where do you find joy?" was too deep to consider answering us. One woman said that she had no idea what we were talking about, having just lost her father, and quickly left as her eyes were welling up with tears. It is amazing to me that this surface-level set of questions could bring out such emotions in people, and a reminder that depth-seeking conversations help us to deal better with whatever comes our way.

I really appreciate all the folks who were willing to wrestle with Joy during this crazy time of year.
