Message for Spring

Joy is the justice

we give ourselves...

Joy is the sunrise

breaking through night’s remains,

bright shone new

on a shell-wracked shore...

the silent spring....

J. Drew Lenham

This topsy turvy world .... We embody all of it: pain, uncertainty, and the constant drive to grow.

What we have lived through, and how we grapple now is a deep part of our story, but not the whole story. Our journey encompasses the gamut of sorrow, loss--and the possibility of joy. These are the edges of life that we cannot shy away from.

In recovery, our resilience is wider and stronger than simple resistance and muscling through alone.

This Spring, consider connecting to community as well.

It is a risk worth taking.
