Lavenham
Accept what the Creator has done,
Building with the crooked beams of humanity.
Enjoy what you have today. Remember that it might change.
Nothing is certain in this life.
Ecclesiastes 7
"Professor of Jewish theology and Near Eastern studies Leonard Greenspoon says, "In sum, biblical humour is certainly not stand-up comedy nor is it especially cerebral either. Rather, it is participatory and fully in keeping with the overall themes and emphases of the Hebrew Bible." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bible_and_humor)
I like emotions that are 'participatory' rather than private. Emotion is shared. it feeds and nurtures itself. If rises on wings, and then floats down again. Can humour exist on it's own?
I like these verses from Ecclesiastes. I bent them somewhat to fit with Immanuel Kant's famous quote. The creator builds with crooked beams. Nothing quite marries up. I remember asking a a conference on marriage what the speaker though of the concept of 'compatibility'. He replied, "Yes that's the challenge. Men and women are not compatible. That's why you need to work hard at it."
PRAYER: I know I make you smile. Thank you for giving us so much fun.
