There are two main “parts” of me that I’ve worked my life to blend, the happy, laughing, jovial side and the deep contemplative side. I appreciate both.
That deep contemplative side is great for helping patients and problem solving. I appreciate pondering the mysteries of the universe. It can also get too deep and become destructive, mentally. The natural world is entropic and knowing when enough is enough has been a life long lesson to learn.
The happy, laughing, jovial side always wants to come out and play. Play is an interesting concept as an adult. Why do we want to keep a lid on playfulness unless we are around kids? That misses the point of life. Jesus said, “be like these little children”. Children play and trust and just live as themselves.
Personally, I’m thankful for both.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
