justkimuToday has been of the garden variety strange.
New folks on the f_list shakin' it up. Loads of comments on things I just pass by.
My prayer for today just didn't fit. I couldn't find a place for the words. A candle was lit, an incense was started...but nothing. Nothing. Nothing.
Then I came across a quote about laughter...
Laughter is a divine gift to the human who is humble. A proud man cannot laugh because he must watch his dignity; he cannot give himself over to the rocking and rolling of his belly. But a poor and happy man laughs heartily because he gives no serious attention to his ego….Only the truly humble belong to this kingdom of divine laughter…Humor and humility should keep good company. Self deprecating humor can be a healthy reminder that we are not the center of the universe, that humility is our proper posture before our fellow humans as well as before almighty God…"I suppose,” wrote C.S. Lewis, “we should mind humiliation less if we were but humbler.”
-From Terry Lindvall’s book, Surprised by Laughter: The Comic World of C.S. Lewis
