Lately I find a smile creep across my face or sometimes laughter in a response to a situation that may not deem it quite the norm. Although my laughter can represent humor, happiness and silliness it has seemed to evolve into a mechanism for expressing acceptance.
I find that there are so many things in life that we yearn for control over. We search high and low for answers to unsolved questions from our pasts, from our bodies. Mysterious pain, illness and health complications send us in many directions. The search, the grasping for an end, a finality, can end us. Ironically, life can unfurl more challenges at us harder and faster when we grasp. There is a peace that comes with acceptance, and a difference between acceptance and dormancy. We can try hard in life, keep moving forward, but with less attachment, with more acceptance there comes ease. With more ease can come more laughter, and with more laughter can come more healing.
