Like the joy of the sea coming home to shore,
May the relief of laughter rinse through your soul.
As the wind loves to call things to dance,
May your gravity be lightened by grace….
As silence smiles on the other side of what’s said,
May your sense of irony bring perspective.
May your prayer of listening deepen enough
to hear in the depths the laughter of God.
-John O’Donohue, To Bless the Space Between Us, p. 127
