Remember the old Ro-Sham-Bo game?  Paper covers Rock and wins.  Such a fundamental lesson of how when least expected the mightiest of enemies can fall at the hands of the simplest things.  It is like this, I think, with hardened hearts - who's life's struggles have turned them to stone.  I witnessed it myself just last night as someone I've known to be frozen in a granite fortress of fear fell prey to the crushing blows of authentic, belly wrenching, side-splitting, laughter.  Laughter so sweet and intoxicating it got the whole room giggling until everyone was just about out of breath.  That kind of laughter can heal such a heart, if not completely than at least by blasting a chasm wide enough for the love to flow again from that heart into the world.  Something everyone in the room was better for.  So, when times are darkest, and you feel your own heart turning cold and hard find a way, any way, to laugh and let your own love flow.
