Laughter

"There should be great dollups of wild laughter among believers.  And that laughter in it's sense of irony should be a recognition of the helplessness and smallness of their own little projects compared to the graciousness and dignity and the wonder of the great divine calling.   Because more often than not, it's when humans really try to make it work out and get it together that they make the greatest disaster out of the whole thing.   I'm sure if we could listen to the music of the spheres that we would hear deep within it the divine laughter at the attempts of the little humans to work out all of their miriad projects which are so serious and solomn to them but in the context of the great and touching divine graciousness are very small indeed."   John O' Donahue
