Joy Harjo — Praise the Rain
Poetry Unbound
Embrace All with Praise
The essence of being human is captured in the juxtaposition of joyous acceptance and simple acknowledgment through the act of praise. While Rumi's poem suggests a joyful response to the spectrum of human emotions, Joy Harjo's approach diverges by not prescribing a specific emotional state. Instead, she invites individuals to praise everything—regardless of mood—creating a comforting invitation to acknowledge all feelings and experiences. This perspective fosters a sense of belonging and acceptance for oneself amidst the fluctuating dynamics of life, offering solace even on difficult days. The act of praising becomes a universal and flexible response that accommodates the complexities of human experience.
