joy



When everything goes wrong, 
what a joy to test your soul 
and see if it has endurance and courage

  1. Dear Mr. the Greek:

    Can I call you Zorba? Thank you.
    You and I need to talk about the nature of life, and what actual "joy" is about. In school, we learned to equate it with happiness. At JMV, we learned it meant Jesus+Others+U. NOW, you're telling me joy is something to do with testing my soul and endurance?!

    Zorba, can I respectfully disagree?

  2. Dear 1/3,

    Enjoy some feta and olives and cucumbers drenched in olive oil and freshly ground pepper. That will cheer your soul as you wait out the gloom until the tomatoes ripen.

    Avec joie,
    The Big Z
