Play.
Remember to laugh.
At something else
or even yourself,
what tickles you
that you cannot hold in,
is there not release,
do you not let go –
when you laugh
and play?
You need not feel
a certain way,
might you feel many
emotions
throughout your day,
but even if you have
to schedule time,
to stop what you are “doing”,
can you then find
a way,
to play,
to laugh,
today?
Make time to really laugh,
not only smile
at a joke,
can you lose yourself
for a moment
or two –
yes, crying can
give you release,
and does not crying often
lead to laughter, too?
What to do when humanness
gets the best of you,
play with a child,
call a friend,
tell your pet
how you are feeling, too,
find the space within
that is wanting to –
laugh,
play,
laugh.
It need not take long,
though you may find
once you start to laugh,
you lose track
of time –
in this moment,
can you think back
to a goofy place
and time,
let your smile
show you the way –
to laugh,
let go,
and play!
