Joy is a serious matter.

May my joy stay (Joy of Man’s Desiring, Jean Giono, 1936):
A man gets up early to go and plough an acre of land. It is still dark. He gets ready, leaves his house, finds himself under the cosmic vault. Joy is the awareness of this position, of the importance of plowing, of being that ploughman and, at the same time, the awareness of the disproportionate relationship between the minuscule size of the field and the infinity of the cosmos.

Joy is about being oneself in the world. Dissolving in the world. Letting love and fear in. For joy is also fear. Joy contains something unknown, destabilizing and at the same joy makes us lightweight. Joy is about watching a child being born, dancing, singing, writing, being together.

Que ma joie demeure

Et que la poésie la dise
