Joy is an antidote for the times.
When you hike with someone like Julia, a whole lot of really cool ideas are going to shake loose. We tapped them back and forth like Kadima balls on a Wellfleet beach. But the only one that she really pressed was a film about the friendship between the Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutut. She extolled the trailer at least twice, then sent me the link to the trailer. She is so right. It's so worth the 2+ minutes.
"Mission: JOY is the moving and laugh-out-loud funny documentary about the Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu’s friendship and their secrets of finding joy in troubled times. With genuine affection, mutual respect and a healthy dose of teasing, these friends impart lessons gleaned from lived experience, ancient traditions, and the latest cutting-edge science regarding how to live with joy in the face of all of life's challenges from the extraordinary to the mundane."
