The definition of playing

Going out to play has some serious benefits, through years of hard play, one develops a range of social expertise, e.g. we learn how to negotiate power struggles, how to cooperate and form friendships, and also how to concede with grace!

Play both demands and creates its own safe space, one in which we can confront threats, fears, and dangers - but always come through whole. Play offers us a natural way to manage feared separations or abandonments, and instead see them as opportunities for self-discovery.

As a Tibetan saying has it, "When you smile at life, half the smile is for your face, the other half for somebody else's."

Play, smile - have fun and enjoy life :-)
