Play is not all around us
Play is all around us.
That's what the posts and memes and GIFs and TED talks tell me.
Except it isn't.
Play isn't "out there".
Play isn't all around us.
Play is inside us.
Our playful selves,
our true selves,
waiting
to be invited out;
waiting
to accept the invitation.
If we only let our selves out to play we would rediscover our selves and reunite with the world
- Bernard De Koven, A Playful Path
