Reminders for when you feel unworthy of joy

When joy asks for a home on your face

Let it sketch a smile upon you

When joy asks to move within you

Put your shoes on and take it out dancing

When joy asks to exist around you

Let it know it can sit amid grief, rage, and fear

When joy asks if your people know it

Call it by its name in your language: furaha

When joy comes back after a disappearance

Welcome it as you do the rising sun which shines its light after a long night.
