Jacinta’s Reviews > Animal Joy: A Book of Laughter and Resuscitation > Status Update

I used to feel like I knew how to move through the world. That ease slipped away and lately I’ve just felt awkward. I really love this passage: “Only with wide-awake adaptability and the living pliableness of a human being—movement—will you connect with yourself and give others a way to connect with you…stop playing the dead body, feel present and alive. Laughter shakes us out of our deadness.”
