Season of joy

Last night I found a state of joyful connectedness or openness that I'm inclined to classify as religious feeling, though if it is I probably shouldn't annoy people by babbling about it in my journal. I think some of it is the religious season, and some is being connected to my community, and those are a lens which is influencing how I respond to some other things.

All that said, several people I care about are going through really hard things at the moment. I hope I can draw strength from moments like this to be able to be there for them as much as I can.
