Play is Universal!

A cry to play has been echoing around the world for many decades now, perhaps since the beginning of time.

When we lose our sense of fun, it is an affront to our nature; we need play and fun as much as anything.

Watch any newborn animal and it will cavort and gambol about. Children need recess and lunch; unstructured fun.

Science has found this allows the mind to learn and grow. Makes you wonder about the point of school then.

And to be honest a lot of people dropped out of school and became successful because they wondered that too.

It's because humans are capable of learning and growing naturally, without a systemic structure to lean on.

The Indigenous and Doukhobor are especially open to this truth. The effects of their cultural genocide lingers.

It doesn't linger with many though. Many still are stuck in resistance and believing there's one way, one way only.

Global truths of play, love, compassion make the world; we are what we think. So what are you thinking today?

And how could you add a bit more joy, fun and play to your day and weekend? Even if it means going neutralize first.

Thanks for reading this post. I hope you find moments to pause and listen to your needs. Here's to the dream.
