sometimes the spiritual path can be portrayed as being a little dour, without joy. But not so! It doesn’t have to be all serious!
having fun, being joyful is very much a part of spiritual growth! it’s seeing the comedy of life, it’s ironies, it’s unfortunate misunderstandings and overlaps; it’s the wry smile of someone who KNOWS.
experience teaches us many things; that there is tragedy, there is downfall – but there is also the Uplift, the rising on the tide of Joy.
Be Happy, and guffaw a little. Laugh out loud to the soundtrack of South Park.
life’s full of mirth.

Your words, music, and images resonate with my internal rhythms. Thank you for sharing. I’m adding you to my blog surf and roll. The Tao of Bach just came to mind. 🙂
