Ageism - Humor as a Weapon

9/26/2010

0 Comments

 
Since the way to the light is through hope, humor is part of the process.  According to Henri, “humor is knowledge with a soft smile…knowledge with a soft smile is a great gift.”  If we laugh at ourselves in our life situations, we begin to realize that all is temporary.  We begin to acknowledge that , this too must pass.  As we gain the age of reason and beyond, it seems that those who grasp this truth are able to move on gently with grace to the next experience.  I wrote a poem in 1986 during a rough patch  that I would like to share with you.  I can honestly say that we do have a choice of how we view our circumstances and choosing the light will always bring us home.
CHOICES
“If ever I come to this place again…I will remember
                                                          I will remember the pain I left here
                                                          but, I will not take it up again.
                                                         It  is  like an old skin I have discarded
                                                        and it will not fit anymore.
                                                         There will be new growth and
                                                         the pain that will accompany it.
                                                        But that too I will be asked to discard
                                                        someday,
                                                        so that I may go on and on and on…
                                                        each time  renewed…                                          
                                                                                 with Hope!”                                                                                        
                                                                                                                                  jg  1986
Hope and humor are the keys.  Do you agree?
