[Editor’s note: As is normal when we get together for a Pot Luck feast, our gathering this evening was in a very humorous mood and full of joy and energy. Of course part of the "Pot" was the desert. A rather savory, decadent chocolate cake, hence comments in the conversations below.]

Prayer (Kenneth): Our Dear Father, we join hands as Your children. We thank You for this opportunity. We thank you for this humor, that we have amongst us, the humor You have given us. We thank You for this time in space. We love You, we adore our teachers. May we hear the words this evening; may we grow; may we be. In Your name. Amen

DANIEL (Nancy): My dear friends, I am Daniel also here to greet you and express my joy in your great mirth. Humor is cleansing as you well know.

And so tonight I wish to talk about humor as a tool for bringing balance into your lives, reducing stress, anxiety and worry. Seek out opportunities to laugh with another. And if that is not achievable for some reason, have a good laugh on your own. You do not need to have a particular thought in mind, simply try it. Ha-ha-ha! Ho-ho-ho. You will find that you are funny enough… (group laughing)… This laughter is cleansing of your physical being as well as your emotional and the spiritual being. The physical act of laughing releases substances in your brain that change your biochemistry, can interrupt the exhaustion of stress, and can break the cycle of worry and worry-related thinking. And so I wish to draw to your attention this aspect of humor—the physical aspect.

DANIEL (Nancy): My friends, as you can tell we have no protracted message to give tonight. We are very pleased see you grouped together engaging in one another’s friendship, in the experience of community, the sharing of good humor and joy. And so our purpose tonight is complete. But we are here to serve you, and so we open the floor to any thoughts, concerns, questions, comments—to communication of any type. The floor is yours if you would like to walk upon it… or dance.

Virginia: I appreciate very much your comments about humor, and certainly I must not feel vulnerable in this group because you probably see me perhaps at my most vulnerable times. So thank you.

And to you all, I offer my sincere gratitude for the warmth of your beings, the expression of your joy, your decisions to grow, to consider seeking the opportunities for growth in the situations of your life, and for even embracing them. Are there further thoughts, questions, or concerns?
