Magical Laughter

There's something magical in a child's laugh.  The joy in his or her heart suddenly bursts out of the small mortal frame with great and sometimes unexpected power.  It's audible, but isn't tangible.  It's like the light of happiness is trying to shoot from their fingers and toes and finally escapes as a laugh. An audible expression of love, joy and happiness that lights up their faces with the most heavenly of light.

As adults, we tend to lose that sparkle of joy in our laugh.  Maybe it's because we don't laugh enough and just need to practice.  Maybe it's because we no longer are in tune with the simple things of life.  Or maybe it's because our views have been tainted by the evils and misdeeds that the world surrounds us with as we leave the innocent times of childhood and enter into adulthood.

Treasure the laugh of a child.  Reach for the simple joys that make them so happy and full of life.  Maybe adult life would be a little more simple if we could find, once again, the magical laughs we all once had as children.

"Laughter is a sunbeam of the soul."
