The Happy Fly
What do you call a Fly with no wings?
A Walk.
It's one of my favourite jokes. It may appear to be a joke to slit your wrists to, but it isn't that at all. I'm just back from leading a retreat, and have been reminded that often people need to lose their imagined wings; need to be shocked back into walking - in order to learn happiness all over again.
They had been taught unhappiness at a young age, and called it 'flying' from then on. But of course this was always nonsense. It was just a mad buzzing.
My feeling is that if we so-called flies, can get back to walking, then the sky's the limit.
