Greetings!
This afternoon while sitting, there was a random image from a comedy show I had seen that went through my mind, and I started laughing...and laughing more, until my stomach hurt and tears streamed from my eyes. And it made me see that the pendulum always swings the other way, and the key point is that weeping with sorrow and belly laughter are just extreme expressions of the same swinging ball. Though I would much rather go through life with much laughter, it is distracting during meditation. Here is a good case for a middle road, a stable state of the body and mind that allows for focus. I am not as concerned now as I was with my original post- it all comes and goes, and hopefully there is balance.
Happy Saturday everybody, may it be funny!
