This is one of my favorite pictures of my kid


Often, I think, there is a sense that mindfulness is serious business.  We have to concentrate, darn it!  That’s true, but also incomplete.

Sometimes I find it helpful to recognize the silliness of things.  (Fine.  Most of the time.)  When we are moving mindfully, we open ourselves to the possibility that we are graceful, but also the possibility that we look like contorted frogs.  In the latter case, laughing makes sense.


Holding the body in continual tension causes us lasting discomfort.  Nothing breaks up that tension (or works our abs!) more than cracking up.  Let’s tune in to the funny side of things today.
