LOVE AND LAUGH

 In rites of initiation we teach people that they have to go down before they can possibly go up.***That’s initiation! We have to be swallowed by something bigger than ourselves. The phrase used by many, including Thomas Merton, was that we have to go into the “belly of the beast”—a place where we are not in control, where we can’t fix it, explain it, understand it, or even like it. -- Richard Rohr Daily Meditations, July 11, 2025

Maybe life itself is a rite of initiation and life itself is to live in the belly of the beast. 

If that be true, no wonder love and laugh is the better answer...no matter the question.

Thank you.
