Your Laughin' Place

...and as Br'er Rabbit said, "I said it was my laughin' place, not yours..." and Uncle Remus reminds us that each of us has to find our own laughin' place, 'cause it's different for each of us....

Where is your laughin' place? Don't know what that is? Well, let me tell you, you've come to the right spot...Your laughin' place is just around the corner...third star to the right...It's the state of mind available to you whenever you begin to feel trapped by life...Br'er Rabbit was gonna be roasted on a spit...(ever feel like that, like life is roasting you?) It was just then that he imagined what the best possible outcome could be and through his wit and perseverance it came true...Just imagine for a moment the sorry circumstances that are weighing you down, notice how you can't seem to see anything funny or worthwhile in these conditions...and begin to realize that, until you can, nothing good is likely to happen....

Your laughin' place is just one silly thought away from your door...what circumstance could there be that would allow you to laugh in the face of the distress you are facing? What thought could make you see the absurdity that is life and allow you to laugh? Stop what you're doing, (if what you're doing is making you miserable) and take a little time to open up your imagination...because nothing good can come until you see the possibilities and opportunities...and nothing will allow the pain and fear to stop until you can see the light...find your laughin' place...go there often....

Then, take a little time and learn to distinguish between the temporal and the infinite...grubbing around in this world of things to do, and things to have, is temporal...it's fine...just not what's really and truly important...treat it that way and all of life will be your 'laughin' place'...make it deadly serious...and you'll most likely be dead and serious...doing and having are the stuff of life...we like that and we hate that....

Being is the inspiration of life...you can BE happy anytime...you can BE at peace anytime...you can BE inspired and inspiring...anytime or out of time...find your 'laughin' place' and have a good ol' belly laugh on me...Yes, things might be tough, life may have thrown you some hard sliders...but that's just the stuff, it's not the being...you are first and foremost a human BEING...BE one...and BE ONE with the universe that is a perfect place for you to be...stop, sit down, brew a cup of Earl Grey, find a vista that allows you to see past the horizon, even if it is only in your mind's eye, then relax and enjoy the moment...that perfect moment where you once again realize...you are the peace, you are the love, you are the center of your perspective and it is a spectacular view that can fill you with inner peace and harmony....

You do have a 'laughin' place', it is up to you to find it...remember...you are cherished, you are loved, you are a child of the universe, be well, give of your gift until you get it, then be the gift you have always been...love the one's you're with and until next time, I remain...Respectfully Yours, Larry
