An Affinity for Joy: Raiders of the Lost Ark

As part of my jubilee-year-quest to maintain an affinity for joy, I’m reminded tonight of the simple joy of Indiana Jones.

More than forty years after its release, everyting about this movie holds up, from the adventure to the humor, from Harrison Ford’s rougish portrayal of Indy to John Williams’s iconic soundtrack. I’ve seen these movies so many times I can quote whole sections of the dialogue — but I still love them. And they help me curate this affinity for Joy I’m seeking.

So tonight, I fall asleep to “I don’t know, I’m making this up as I go.”

Because I’m pursuing this affinity for joy.
