I believe a KID WHO IS PLAYING IS NOT ALONE. THERE IS SOMETHING BROUGHT ALIVE DURING PLAY AND THIS SOMETHING, WHEN PLAYED WITH, SEEMS TO PLAY BACK.*
Lynda Barry

So the psychological problem, the way to keep from becoming blocked, is to make yourself – and here is the phrase – transparent to the transcendent.**
Joseph Campbell

We need to play more;
It’s good for us –
We must beware the urgent life that
leaves us alone with seriousness.

Play is transcendent,
And there are as many ways to play as there are people –
That’s the fascinating and exhilarating thing.
