The light relief So here`s a bit of a refection in the form of humour, I laughed out loud when I read this many years ago , and it seems appropriate to re-visit it now. There is great wisdom and joy in that moment the joke becomes `realised` where does the mind `go` in that moment?........ok now relax, be patient, enjoy There were twins....and really opposite characters, one was always irrepressiblely enthusiastic and positive, and the other was persistantly negative and critical. So Dad thinks; hmmm wouldn`t it be good if I could balance these characters out,(if you`re asking why.....just don`t .....please give some creative licence!!!) he hits on a plan and decides that for their birthday which is coming up negative norah will get a spanking new top-of the range bike with latest gismo`s (ok ok children these days want playstations, but this is an old story please stay with me) he decides that he`ll think of something to temper positive pauline`s enthusiasm and settles on `horse manure in an old cardboard shoebox. So the birthday morning comes pp wakes up full of joy on this gray wet november day leaps out of bed and runs to look over the stair bannister to see......a big big parcel wrapped in shiny paper, big bow on it and a sign saying `for Norah`, next to it is a small non-descript cardboard box with Pauline written on it. Excitedly Pauline runs back into the bedroom and tugs the bedsheets off Norah `Hey, get out of bed come and open your present`. Norah is not impressed and gets reluctantly pulled out of bed, and is dragged downstairs by her sister. `Go on` says Pauline `open it, I want to see what you`ve got`, Norah half-heartedly starts tearing the paper off this `gift` `this is too difficult to undo` she complains, so lets Pauline complete the process revealing a stunning shiny new red bike.....Norah looks at it and says `huh...why didn`t they buy me a blue one I don`t like this colour`. She takes a look at her sister who has openned this tatty box and is jumping up and down with glee, Norah looks in the box and sees its contents, (a pile of horse shit) then looks at Pauline who is so ecstatic that she can hardly speak -how can her sister be sooo excited about this box of ........? Finally Pauline manages to get her words out, stars in her eyes she says...Look, look Norah, I`ve got a pony and its hiding! Now did you laugh?.....did you suddenly realise how possible it is to change perspective, even though 3D reality may bring us `horse manure` we can always plant tomatoes and hold on to a positive attitude, I`m quite sure that in end Pauline got her Pony aren`t you!
