Have you played today?

From the mouth's of babes:

While chatting with my nine year old today, the context seemed appropriate for me to ask, "Am I boring, or what?"

Pausing to consider, he was expertly kind and gentle in his response.

"No, you are not boring at all....you just need to play more."

Laughter erupted from me spontaneously.

Who could argue with that?

"I agree, but how can I learn to do that? Maybe I'm too old now?"

"Not at all," he quipped confidently,"the only way to learn  is - you just need to play and each time  it's like you're unlocking deeper levels of play inside you."
