PERSEVERE IN PRACTICING LOVE AND LAUGHTER

'14  It is not to overcome others' ugly, it is to not resist it so as to let it pass by...with love and laughter.

I ponder my yesteryear's blinding flash of the obvious, and I marvel that I have written '15 ditto and this year, '18 same. 

My first thought was that this is just proof that it keeps coming back until we get it right; then I realized, actually this is getting it right...else the message would be different. This is how we come to own it.

I just picked up a book I haven't read in a long time, and the first thing I read is apropos of what I was thinking, but oh so much clearer:

That all things are possible to him who believes; that they are less difficult to him who hopes; that they are more easy to him who loves, and still more easy to him who perseveres in the practice of these three virtues. -- Brother Lawrence

Thank you.
