Play

There is no time like the present to remind ourselves about all of the competing energies in the world. While I am not suggesting that we bury our heads in the sand, I think it is a great time to remember that we have choices beyond all of the news that is piled onto us each day. Play is what really makes the world go round!

“This is the real secret of life - to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now, and instead of calling it work, realize it as play.”

Alan W. Watts

There are opposites in life for a reason. We cannot have happiness without suffering, life is suffering. Humanity has a resilience to keep moving forward, to thrive in the face of hopelessness. Without this balance we could have never made it this far.

“Play builds the kind of free-and-easy, try-it-out, do-it-yourself character that our future needs.”

James L. Hymes Jr.

If we do the work to keep play an important part of our day, the measure of positive energy in the world will continue to grow and outshine all of the negative elements being forced upon us.

“We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.”

George Bernard Shaw
