Just wondering… What if? What if thinking is sometime a foolish way to spend time; sometimes not. Knowing the difference, we can value the day dreams that make a difference.
Every BIG Idea was a “What if?” at one time…

Some people are changing the world for us… maybe we ought to get involved with the power to do things too.

It is no exaggeration to say that humor is highly infectious-even more infectious than a cold. Actually, humor is not only infectious, it is contagious. The sound of a hearty roaring laughter automatically makes us smile even when we have no clue what the person might be laughing at. Laughter has a way of binding us together-sharing in each other’s happiness. Health-wise, laughter has physiological and psychological health outcomes. For example, it fortifies our immune system. It reduces stress levels and pain. It also decreases inter-personal and intra-personal conflict. Interventional scientific studies affirm the preventive and therapeutic properties of spontaneous laughter.
Laughter has been found to have positive effects on the following:
Blood Pressure: When a person has a hearty laugh, initially their blood pressure rises, but then it immediately falls to levels below normal, and levels off to normal levels.

You would measure time the measureless and the immeasurable.
You would adjust your conduct and even direct the course of your spirit according to hours and seasons.
Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank you would sit and watch its flowing.
Yet the timeless in you is aware of life’s timelessness, and knows that yesterday is but today’s memory and tomorrow is today’s dream.
And that that which sings and contemplates in you is still dwelling within the bounds of that first moment which scattered the stars into space.
Who among you does not feel that his power to love is boundless?
And yet who does not feel that very love, though boundless, encompassed within the centre of his being, and moving not from love thought to love thought, nor from love deeds to other love deeds?
And is not time even as love is,
undivided and space-less?
But if in your thought you must measure time into seasons, let each season encircle all the other seasons, And let today embrace the past with remembrance, and the future with longing.

Tao Te Ching 36

Should you want to contain something, you must first let it expand. . ..Should you want to weaken something, you must first let it grow strong. . Should you want to take something, you must first allow it to be given. . The lesson here is called the wisdom of obscurity. .. The obscure outlasts the obvious. . The soft overcomes the hard. . The slow overcomes the fast. . Let your workings remain a mystery. . Just allow people to see the results.
NOTE: The Tao Te Ching is not a religious study. Unlike Taoism, Zen is philosophical. However, Zen philosophies were greatly influenced by Taoists. Zen is the Chinese Taoist philosophy with its central image of “yin and yang” which are Tao.
