There are many different types of joy. The joy I feel when I step outside on a sunny day and feel the warmth of the sun on my pale arms is different from the beer induced joy, full of hugs and high fives, after a Warriors' Finals win.
I felt a joy today that I haven't felt in a long time. A joy that nearly brought me to tears, but instead continued to bring an involuntary smile to my face. When I witness evidence that human nature is possibly good, that people maybe do want love and fairness to prevail, I feel an unparalleled joy.
Unlike this rainbow that barely lasted long enough for me to snap a photograph, the joy I feel from the recent Supreme Court ruling will last a lifetime.
