Heavens Above
A friend just told me about the website called www.heavens-above.com You can plug in your location and find out where and when you can see various satellites in the night sky.
The vastness of space is a great reminder of how we can also find out where and when humor can work for us.
Think about a conductor. If you sing or play an instrument, you innately know when and how to make your voice or your instrument sound lighter.
Or imagine being in a flooded room. The water is getting higher and higher. You are floating near the top of the room now. There’s only a thin space of air between the water and the ceiling. So you HAVE to keep your head up. Or, as my German friend says, “Kopf hoch!”
The space above compels us to look higher–whether we’re looking at the stars in general or searching for a satellite. Doesn’t matter.
Whether you’re creating a general atmosphere of lightness, or searching for something clever to say on the spur of the moment. Doesn’t matter.
Humor keeps us looking up. Holds our heads above water. Lets us breathe. And makes our bodies, our health, our minds and our voices lighter.
Try searching for satellites outside your house tonight.
“Kopf hoch!”
