#6 Joyful Dedication 2025
The Month for Joyful Dedication
July 20 to August 28, 2025
Master of the Universe
Grant me the ability to be alone;
May it be my custom to go outdoors each day
among the trees and grasses,
among all growing things
and there may I be alone,
and enter into prayer
to talk with the one
that I belong to.
–Rabbi Nachman of Breslov
During this month, over halfway through the year, we have the luscious 40-day opportunity to choose again. and yet again, to practice seeking, discovering, and relishing joy, no matter what else is happening in our world.
Choosing again and again to acknowledge that joy exists free and abundant, in, around, and through our elegant summer-rich earth.
Dedication asks that we look for joy, and keep on looking.
Dedication means to celebrate joy in the manifold gifts of our lives and neighborhoods.
Dedication desires us to hold with, to persist, to keep on keeping on. To add joy’s elemental power to our daily tasks, stirring it into our energy as we do our best to fulfill our life’s purpose for this lifetime within this lifetime.
Dedication reminds us of joy’s tender presence even through our despair.
Dedication asks that we create our homes with joy and invite it to take a primary and honored place in all the spaces around us.
Dedication teaches us that joy can help keep us alive, resilient, and hopeful.
Dedication introduces us to joy’s sublime and elegant partner, gratitude.
Dedication incites us to sing praise for friends, for breath, for food, for our bodies, for our emotions, for our senses, for our lives.
Joy in the World. And in me.
Praise, Praise. Praise.
