‘Joy is not made to be a crumb’? rings in my ear daily since you introduced me to this fabulous poem by Mary Oliver during Tosú Arís - Belataine Festival - Healing Arts initiative, Carrick-on-Suir 2022... You delivered each line with such passion, tenderness and soul..."Hail to Joy for all in 2023 and beyond"! Thank you Margaret for all that you do!
