And

That, to me, is significant because it's a place that has been so overlooked for so long.

Those are the kinds of things that make me excited, both when people are doing it for themselves, but then people are also doing it for others.

Right.

I think we have a very individualistic society, right?

So we tend to concentrate our efforts toward joy in the private realm and not in the communal realm.

And the result of that is that our common spaces often, when we even have them, right, they lack joy.

So like you go to Europe and you have these beautiful common spaces and piazzas and places where people gather.

And, you know, we lack a lot of those in the US.

But even when we do have them, they tend to be focused on commercialism and economic activity rather than on the creation of joy.

And so viewing those spaces through the lens of joy, I think, we can suddenly see what's missing.

The color and these round shapes, these welcoming shapes, and some of these other elements are things that draw people in.

They bring people together.

You can see that with public art.

When public art is done in a really joyful way, people gravitate toward it, and then it gives them opportunities to interact with each other, and it creates a true public experience.

So I'm all for the reintroduction, the reinfusion of joy into our public spaces, because I think it's part of what we're trying to achieve in terms of reinvigorating our communal rituals and our communal life.

I love that.

It's funny, when you first were explaining that, I was thinking it was going to be plants.

Oh yeah, sometimes it's plants too.

Oh, I was like, oh, it's like, I have too many of these and I'm going to divide them and bring the bulbs.
