Thanks for directing me to it. <br /><br />Since I began meditation 2 years ago, I find myself laughing more and more at the funny, the mundane, the ridiculous, the problematic, and the embarrassing. <br /><br />Everything is funny... very, very funny.<br /><br />John Boodhansingh<br />www.withoutastory.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2470269505611367538.post-88349953079020124392011-07-12T14:48:36.522-04:002011-07-12T14:48:36.522-04:00Hmmm.

It's good to laugh at yourself...it helps with arrogance and also with a lack of confidence. <br /><br />Thanks for your critique of my small stone. It was a helpful suggestion and I'm updating the post now. :)nonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025913472730278205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2470269505611367538.post-41919174214098653962011-07-07T08:05:06.069-04:002011-07-07T08:05:06.069-04:00Enjoy your post, I like the idea of laughter being...Enjoy your post, I like the idea of laughter being a part of meditation, right now I'm finding the process of emptying myself... more than enough of a task.Durantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18091801982428841447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2470269505611367538.post-40357786864557137902011-07-05T21:52:53.272-04:002011-07-05T21:52:53.272-04:00Hi there,
