THE JOY OF LOVE...AND LAUGHTER

I came late to a full (or fuller, I expect) realization of love and laughter being my path. Which is to laugh since "God Calling," my daily reader for 40+ years, on day two first mentions the necessity for love and laughter: "Love and laugh. Love and laughter are the beckoners to faith and courage and success."

And, just as a sidebar, on day one it tells us that we "must not see as the world sees." Which is to say we must go beyond reason to love and laughter...we must detach from reliance on our reasoning mind if we're ever going to live fully the is-ness of God.
 
Just this morning I am gifted with a remarkable poem of Hafiz which I am declaring my own, like the Sermon on the Mount is my own. This is mine to ponder, meditate on...love and laugh with the joy I find within it:

What is this precious love and laughter 

Budding in our hearts? 

It is the glorious sound 

Of a soul waking! -- Hafiz

God loves us so much.

Thank you.
