lying in bed my mind is turning and im thinking, laughter apparently keeps us young, well I laugh a bit , my staff may say otherwise, but i do, but if i think back to when laughter was painful , rel laughter , laughter as a child when it hurt , when you curl up and cry just with laughter, , thats a rare occurance, so much so im thinking when was the last time, well i remeber must be 5 years ago , have to admit influenced by drink , but something so insignificant resulted in uncontrolable laughter, unfortunatley not shared by all , but me and another hurt with laughter.
another time in kenya , again something in nothing resulted in painful laughter, contagious in its effect resulting in histerics amongst the few.
on the opposite side i look at sadness , a deep emotional sadness luckily to date those events have been few , but one will stay with me forever , im sure we all have had a day when time has stopped , for me was when i ran over my dog , killing him instantly , i memory so clear even after 16 years , that day stood still and on reflection they have been more days like that than laughter, ok im looking at the extremes in emotions not to be confused by everyday events.
Images can provoke the same sense of emotion , there is one that sticks in my mind , a child and a vulture , i remember first seeing it in the midst of may during our hellish 100 hour 8 day weeks , the never ending workload, the never ending ringing of the phone , the madness of commerce and then a little picture of a child and this vulture stopped my life, albeit for a thought and tears of sadness ran down my face . A single image stopped my life for a second the same feeling when my dog was killed a raw emotion that makes us who we are . coincidently the picture tells half the story , the photography regreted walking away and couldnt live with it. do i have a moral in all this ......... no ..........its just reflection ..... i cant sleep ..
