joy is an act of resistance

It is imperative to connect with joy and evolve our own personal practice of compassion.Love the ones you claim. The ones who are yours. The ones that your heart recognizes in the light & in the dark. The ones who will choose to journey with you through the fantastic & the foolish.Family is made up of who you are loved by & ties you readily tether your soul to. Make sure you are loud with your love.Tend to your joy and honor it as the boldest act of resistance.   This beautiful rally is originally from the poem 'The Telly Cycle" by poet and founder of Cave Canem Toi Derricotte
