Ben Williams reads an excerpt from The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran, Julie reads a poem by Naomi Shihab Nye, and Charis Boke reads a poem by Ghalib. Joy and sorrow always come hand in hand, but this year a lot of us have felt that more than ever. While we might be tempted to run from it, sorrow is a universal feeling, and can allow us to gain a better understanding for others and be more connected to the human experience. Sorrow only deepens my gratitude for the joys of my life. As always, you can reach out to me at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.starsintherafters.com\">starsintherafters.com<\/a>.
