If we do not attend to the work o projecting delight upon the world, what are we actually doing? If we do not look for joy, search for it, reach for it, what are we saying about the world? … joy exists as a bright, insistent spasm of defiance within the darkness of the world. Seek it. It is there.*
Nick Cave
We don’t have to wait for delight to come to us,
Each of us is capable of producing something
utterly delightful –
This usually for others first of all,
Which makes it more delightful still for us.
Don’t hide your de-light under a bushel.
