Neat words Paige... thanks for those. I agree.
I esp like 'life is a joke and death is the punchline'. Where's that from ? It reminds me of the saying...' If you can't take a joke, you shouldn't have joined '
Fear is a defining force, it gets us to figure out the unknown so that we might not fear it. But the unknown is perty big. Love can give way to an inner knowing that relaxes and stabilises (or maybe just draws the wool down an inch lower
- who knows ? )
I'm fairly certain though, that given the choice between investing in fear and investing in love, there is only one proper choice.
