That is too cool another fav. And I absolutely agree laughter does help smooth out a lot of roughness in life. So giggle, giggle, snicker, chuckle, ha ha, Hoo, Hoo, Hoo.

I agree w/your sage advice, Akkina. Laughter is good medicine indeed. Splendid poetic healing balm. Love and joy.

I like that metaphor. To crumple away the dust, which is already dust and is rescued by laughing. Well done, Kai
