“Laughter through tears is my
favorite emotion.”
Who hasn’t loved this line from the beloved sage, Truvy, in Steel Magnolias ?
She captures what I think describes the very nature of healing.
When we can feel both the light-heartedness of delight
and the heart-breaking depth of sorrow
in the same moment,
we have healed our urge to divide life into parts.

So, to live life with wide open eyes and unclenched fists
is not to see through the lens of either-or,
but rather to be able to hold both-and
within your embrace.
