Thank you for sharing this poem, Emily. Every night before I go to sleep, I try to think of a surprise joy that found me that day. And I've found there is always something. I just have to be aware.
Religious icons usually don't show wide smiles, as far as I've noticed. Some of your drawings remind me of them. I haven't analyzed that, just noticed.
Absolutely beautiful.
You are amazingly talented.
Happy New Year!
"Joy is supposed to slither through the cracks of your imperfect life." What a great line and a perfect sentiment as we head into 2024.

Such a lovely poem and to be read to this morning gave me JOY. Thank you!
Joy was described perfectly! I will look at joy differently now and cherish it more when I feel it.
