This statement has its own limitations. We have realised that we cannot take care of a Common, or of others, if we do not take care of ourselves, any more than we can share a flame if we let our own campfire go out.
We don’t want to look any higher than our foundations. We don’t hesitate to use jokes to relieve the pressure, even if it means offending the serious. If humour is at the heart of our practices, it does not detract from the substance of our actions.
