The 100 Days of JOY Project

Day 100/100 This. Is where. I Live. Grand. And. Captivating. Beauty abounds. No greater. Awe. Mystery of our origins. And to what. We also return. Grandmothers voice forever lingers. Echoing across inner hemisphere. Where. Do we come from. Why. Are w
Day 99 Made to outlast. Centenarians. An old growth way of life. Raised first by neighbors. Interdependent. Have your back. Community. Shared potluck. Pen and ink letters. And the comfort of homemade recipes. Of simpler times. Even if imperfect. Some
Day 98 When fertile humus warms. Like a tepid bath. Soaking. In lemon sun. Hours unfurl. Fernlike. One upon another. And another. Replenished. Fresh from dreamy slumber. Uncomplicated. Childhood days. Should not be numbered. #the100daysofJOYproject
Day 97 Madrone. Her queen majesty of the coastal forest. So powerful. She needs nary a murmur. Of soil or skin. She rises in dance. With. No fear. Along the watery precipice. Often. On the brink of falling. Yet she has sharpened. Keen awareness. Near
Day 96 If once in a while. We can. Sit. At the edge. Of the earth. Leaving our human doings behind. We see hope. In the color of dusk. And remember the gaze. In each other's eyes. We breathe. A little deeper. Talk. A little slower. Laugh. A little lo
Day 95 She once. Went on. A journey. Far, far away. Music in friendly pubs. Fiddle. Bodhran. Pipes. Whistle. And flute. Dancing. Step and Sean-Nos. Stories. Of ancestral homeland. Embedded. In cells of. Her origins. And all time. #the100daysofJOYpro
Day 94 Memories. Most valuable. Of family heirlooms. Grandad's hands. Uncle's hands. Smiling. Joyful. Father's hands. My own tiny childhood hands. Working. Playing. Building. Crafting. Like silver tinned reels of movies. In the playhouse of my mind.
Day 93 Sound. That the coming of spring makes. Black glossy feathers. Drifting. On the whisper. Of a current. Catkins. Pollinating. In the wafting air. Life cycle. Completes another circle. Language. Of a flower. #the100daysofJOYproject
Day 92 Hips of blushing wild roses. Long past their swan song. When bees buzzed. In the heat of. Belated. Summer JOY. Yet a crisp freshness to the air. Hardy. Unguarded. Free from ambiguity. #the100daysofJOYproject
Day 91 Tales of sea otters. Mermaids. Glassy velvet seals. Sweetness of briny ocean. Suspended in air. Nautical garden paradise. Pelagic generosity. Equitable. Gracious. Aquatic. Riches and prosperity. #the100daysofJOYproject
Day 90 Lost in practice. We draw the world. As we see it. We're observers. Note-takers. Artful scribes. Catching in our net. Creativity. If even. Only for moments. As she jaunts. Through remote and shrouded. Forest. Of our mind. #the100daysofJOYproj
Day 89 After the formative season. Walls fall away. Shells are outgrown. Dead skin. Shed. From empty. Paper thin cocoons. Emergent. Fully materialized. On the springtide. Chrysalis. No more. #the100daysofJOYproject
