Happy Birthday Blog!

My friend Jan often asks me how it is that I never run out of things to write about on my blog.

The answer reminds me of something I retained from the philosophical classic Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance:  the more you narrow your focus, the deeper you delve into something, the larger it becomes, the more you find.

There’s an endlessness to diving deep.  A true infinity.  Like how you can never really know a person completely no matter how long you’ve lived together.  There’s always more.  Or that the microcosm contains the macrocosm.  Or like in Oriental Medicine the entire body is found in just the ear.

For whatever reason I never tire of chewing on my subject:  laughter.

I began this blog 4 years ago, in May 2008, to share my thoughts and experiences on the healing power of laughter.  To avoid information overload, initially I continuously deleted the older posts, a practice I’ve discontinued.  Therefore the first year is absent.  But all else is here.

Thanks for reading and Happy Birthday Blog!
