Embracing Joy

They wake up singing. Every single day.

Two golden birds call to one another across a warm radiant sky — musical notes dancing between them like a conversation that has always been happening. One perches on a vintage key. The blazing spiral sun rises — or sets — it doesn't matter. The light is the same.

Joy doesn't wait for perfect conditions. It wakes before dawn and begins to sing. It perches on whatever is available and calls across the distance to remind us — the key to this day is already beneath your feet.
