When the world seems too much …

When the world seems too much …

Imagine smiling in the face of the painful, of distress and confusion and uncertainty.

Imagine using that smile to get out into the world and do your best, one step at a time, one day at a time.

Pause to rest if you need to, and then use that smile to get going again, to keep going, as best you can.

Share your smile with others; bringing them along for the ride.

Observe all that’s in the world, but don’t necessarily absorb all it offers.

Smile in the face of absurdity.
