If a friend of mine gave a feast, and did not invite me to it,
I should not mind a bit.
but if a friend of mine had a sorrow
and refused to allow me to share it,
I should feel it most bitterly.
If he shut the doors of the house of mourning against me,
I would move back again and again and beg to be admitted
so that I might share in what I was entitled to share.
If he thought me unworthy, unfit to weep with him,
I should feel it as the most poignant humiliation.
- Oscar Wilde

find an ample measure of my own joy.

we develop true regard for ourselves,
and our life will become sacred.

Why live?
Adding one to my count of days, or postponing

feel the wind newly on my skin,
touch a new fear, a new anger,

find an ample measure of my own joy.

natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity.

and make for yourself that lead you to certain joy
in the midst of your challenges.
