Can we dance, hand in hand, through the fires of hell, laughing?

Sometimes life feels hellish. Things are happening that we would not choose. Negative emotions are arising within us – sadness, anger, fear – you know all the troubles of life. This hell is part of what it is to be human. What are we to do about it? Perhaps we can dance, dance through this hell, feeling the fire, feeling the pain, and carry on dancing, together, hand in hand. And if, by chance, we can find ourself in a deeper place within us, then even these fires of hell will begin to feel like something rather superficial, not any great cause for concern. If we are lucky in this way, we will begin to laugh. A part of us will be rippling with joy whatever is happening in life. So can we do it? Can we? Can we dance, hand in hand, you and I? Can we dance, hand in hand, through the fires of hell, laughing?
