"i can only experience joy to the extent that i allow myself to be affected at all. i can only greet my friend with my full spirit, with a love that roars with laughter and erupts with dance, if i am open to being deeply moved. if not, i may greet them with a smile that may be forced to varying degrees, but it will not be my fullest smile, it will not be my warmest; it will be what i can muster from whatever energy i have left."
