Daily Intention


"I am a Professional Laugher"  - The Dalai Lama

 

Yesterday, I was browsing through blogs and I stumbled on one devoted to Haiku.  I have been feeling a strong drive to write lately, but seem to get really stuck when I sit down with pen and the dreaded blank sheet of paper.  The simplicity of the Haiku seemed appealing and quite beautiful to me and I thought maybe I would try my hand at it the next time I was feeling inspired.  This morning, I saw this picture on Facebook with a quote from the Dalai Lama that said:

"I Am a Professional Laugher.  I have been confronted with many difficulties throughout the course of my life, and my country is going through a critical period. But I laugh often, and my laughter is contagious. When people ask me how I find the strength to laugh now, I reply that I am a professional laugher."

Immediately, I was inspired - so here is my first attempt at Haiku:
