"Thou wast that did preserve me. Thou didst smile,
Infused with a fortidude from heaven,
When I have decked the sea with drop full salt,
Under my burden groaned, which raised in me
An undergoing stomach to bear up
Against what should ensue." Prospero Act 1. sc.2
Here I see a man (Prospero) who has lost everything, and yet the smile of his beloved child, angelic in nature, gives him courage and fortitude to endure whatever it is that he must face. He has no idea at this point what the future will bring, however; he is committed to do whatever he must with conviction.
Question: Does God have a sense of humor? Yes, She created me!!
Question: Is there fun in death? If it is the death of the notself, the human ego; yes, because you are becoming free to be God!
Question: Is their tragedy in comedy? Yes, Letting go can be hard, and life can be so serious at times. It is as if death is occurring daily as we release pockets of darkness from our being, Rebirthing can bring about great labor pains, yet joy and laughter abound as the aspects of the notself are sent to the fiery furnace, the violet flame cauldron and the divine rises as the phoenix.
Question: How important is Humor? Humor is very important, it allows the Holy Spirit to abide within our being.
Question: Where is the fire element in the play? The fire element is demonstrated by the forgiveness that Prospero allows to flow to his detractors, and forgiveness is an aspect of the Violet Flame.
