	Play exists for it's own sake. Play is for the moment, it's not hurried, even when the pace is fast and timing seems important. When we play, we also celebrate holy usefulness. Like the calf frolicking in the meadow we need no pretense or excuses. Work is productive play, in it's disinterdness and self- forgetting can be fruitful. Margaret Goldhether Laughter is a holy thing. It is as sacred as music and silence and solemnity, maybe more sacred. Laughter is like a prayer, like a bridge over which creatures tiptoe to meet each other. Laughter is like mercy, it heals. When you can laugh at yourself you are free.
