the image above is one that almost always send me into fits of laughter whenever i see or think of it. and i would love to tell you why, but i really can’t.
that secret-between-friends-snort-so-hard-that-strangers-stare style of laughter is definitely one of my favorite kinds of laughter. it denotes a shared experience that simply describing cannot convey and makes memories that last.
but at the same time, i must also recognize that communal laughter of a good joke from a pastor on a dreary Sunday morning, the kind that unites everyone who hears it in a sense of community.
laughter really is quite powerful. it can create friendships, destroy relationships, heal illness, and illicit unholy sounds from otherwise rather silent individuals.
