Incorporating play into your life can bring joy and levity in the midst of the responsibilities and burdens that surround us. Play can ignite humor and lightness, serving as a foundation for creating something more meaningful.
As a child my favorite ways to play were watching ants carry food, setting up elaborate battles with green plastic solders, creating theatrical events with my dog and an audience of stuffed animals, and climbing muddy mini mountains behind my home.
Collecting, too, was a favorite form of play: from baseball cards and stamps to rocks and fossils, play wasn’t in the possession of the collectable, but rather in the sharing of the collection with friends.

How did you play and how do you play now?
