Rabindranath Tagore wrote, “I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted — and behold, service was joy.” This week we draw inspiration from Tagore’s timeless wisdom as we explore service not as duty, but as a path to freedom, meaning, and joy. We’ll reflect on what it means to serve with open hearts, to give without losing ourselves, and to discover joy in connection. Together, we will ask: how does service shape our spiritual journey, and how does joy guide us back to one another?
