Silliness as a Service … ( 04 / 11 / 2012 )
“ Another way we can lay hold of some solitude is a quiet walk with a friend . Just walking slowly and not speaking at all . Sometimes holding hands will enhance it and sometimes it won ’ t . Try it both ways . The more we are tuned into others , the less need we have for language . We feel close , with some deep part of us deeply knowing we are sharing a special experience together .” ~ inspired by Dalton Roberts
That ’ s a very nice tip indeed — just slow down for a few minutes each day and be with someone ; really BE with them … No need to chat about anything going on in your life or share anything about how you are feeling … Just walking together , side by side in silence — grateful for each other ’ s presence ; grateful for being alive and sharing life .
Of course , there is another way to get some Big Meaning our of living — a choice made brilliantly by our Friend Mr . Seal in the attached image , and that way is this : go somewhere where folks are being “ serious ”… and flagrantly do the opposite … Jump up & down , sing , laugh heartily , make eye contact & smile , greet others warmly , dance in the rain , raise your hands reverently to the Heavens or place them Joy-fully over your Heart .
Sometimes the greatest service is waking folks up to the fact that Life is allWays somehow very Beauty-full … and sometimes the best way to do so requires not a single word .
LOVE is often Purposefully goofy … got LOVE ?
“ There perhaps is no more important service than openly exuding Joy … When you choose to overcome anxiety , or sadness , or grief , or anger – alcohol dependency , losing a loved one , a physical illness , the fear of death , the agony of divorce , or any other personal discomfort – everyone around you becomes inspired .” ~ called forth by Barry Neil Kaufman
