Wednesday of Hope – Humor and Perspective
The only thing I can recommend at this stage is a sense of humor, an ability to see things in their ridiculous and absurd dimensions, to laugh at others and at ourselves, a sense of irony regarding everything that calls out for parody in this world. In other words, I can only recommend perspective and distance.
– Václav Havel
All is the Moon
There is nothing you can see that is not a flower; there is nothing you can think that is not the moon.
