April Fool’s Wisdom

The first of April is the day we remember what we are the other 364 days of the year.  M. Twain

 

April 1^st is my favorite day of the year.  Laughter recharges me with greater light and joy. Jesting transforms me from being so dense. Out of my life experiences my serious grey clouds become dissolved with new comic silver linings.  Making brilliant insights from either my disasters or successes teaches me that a fool can also be wise.  Comedy may transmute the negative into new optimistic mirth awakening people with laughter and folly.

Acting as a court jester gives me the courage to have fun so to better address my deepest phobias.  There is a magic of not taking oneself so seriously.  Comedy helps me transform my curses into blessings giving new meaning to whatever comes my way.  Humor lessens my tensions of opposing truths to best synthesize amazing new possibilities giving me greater freedoms and realizations.
