Enjoy & Uplift Life - How Meditation & Presence Increase Our Joy & Engagement

Life, community, and connection are infused in everything within and around us and we should rejoice at that, while also working to surmount our own and society's destructiveness. Being present in the world today asks us to see and feel challenged by its habits as well as feel inspired and overjoyed by the diverse expressions of Divinity found in every detail. These are two things that are hard to hold at the same time. Thankfully though, scripture tells us that this seeming paradox empowers us, and that we should lean into our joy and use that strength of spirit to take up the challenge of overturning the things that cause so much harm.
