Playfulness = Openness

"The very essence of playfulness is an openness to anything that may happen - the feeling that whatever happens, it's okay...nothing will stop you from being creative so effectively as the fear of making a mistake...create an oasis where your mind can come out to play." - John Cleese

It's hard to pinpoint the moment it happens - the day in our lives that we are expected to "outgrow" play. As we age, there seems to come some undefinable moment where productivity becomes the goal - if an activity isn't earning us money or getting us further in our careers or lives in some way then it isn't worth doing - and we start to feel guilty for play.

I think we just forget. We lose track of the fact that to play is to discover. To play is to create. To play is to be open to new possibilities. To play is to be open to growth.

So let's create an oasis together - a sweet space to fill with playful adventure and wide open willingness to explore our lives anew.
