Innocent Archetypes: and Laughter

I was at a delightful July 4th party - lots of people, a pool, tons of kids running around, and sunny weather. What was really lovely, though, was the way (almost) everyone played in the pool, got silly, laughed, and splashed around until close to exhaustion.

Which brings me to the point; laughter is probably the very finest thing for blowing away the cobwebs and refreshing the mind. Laughter’s easy, too, once you allow it.

July 4th is a birthday, of sorts. As such it’s a commemoration of all the youthful hopes and aspirations of a new nation.  It’s a day that honors the Innocent archetype.  And laughter is at its core.
