Laughter, By Bobby Torpey

"Doctor, my eyes cannot see the sky
Is this the price for having learned not to cry..."
~Jackson Browne~


Laughter is one of the first freedoms. So is crying.
The liberation and release borne on wings of expression.
Only through the free reign of emotion can we give birth to the human soul.
Only the emancipation of the heart can give rise to the myriad manifestation of human glory.
Children must be made to feel, to sense, to express, to touch and to revel.
In this climate, true life can begin.
In this climate of all that is wondrously human;
All art, all science, all games, all charity, all community
All family, all hope.

I only hope that i haven't unwittingly killed off my own feeling center....
