The power of laughter: Humor, a wonderful resource!

I don't know what physical and chemical mechanism determines its power, I only know that when laughter breaks out the world suddenly changes.

I know that the energy that is released has the ability to touch everyone and I know that it works, more than any medicine, when we have to heal.

Real or imaginary diseases, absurd headaches and cosmic sadness: nothing can resist the power of a healthy laugh.

That powerful, irrepressible flow that passes through the flesh, which contracts the muscles of the belly and expands to the chest, sprinkling it with heat and light.

That deep, syncopated, high-pitched or guttural sound, that wave of anomalous wonder that makes space on the faces and even before in the heart.

A laugh to survive the pain, to give yourself courage and to overcome your very human fears. A laugh to share or to listen to the rhythm of your own spirit that is seeking lightly to ascend to heaven.

The sound and warmth of mouths and complicit looks. Of small tears that find a way to turn into liquid joy. The beauty of being together. Of the amazement of those who, alone, find grace within themselves. To laugh about it.
