For many, this approach has worked. And that is fine. It may even be how Howie Mandell got his act. But, even having been a stand-up comic for the past 10 years and truly valuing humor, I don't believe it is the laughter itself that brings forth the restoration we crave. Laughter is good.
Laughter is essential to all of our life systems.
But laughter, alone, is not the key. Laughter is, instead, a pathway that leads us to true healing powers. Laughter is a glimpse of the passion that exists in our lives. It is that passion, that deep love and embracing of life that cures both our bodies and souls. Passion, in this society, is not something we're told to look for within our own lives.
