Rediscovering the Joy of Play is absolutely delightful. The article is full of wisdom and inspiration, and the author's delightful invitation to spin your own web of creativity and invent a new reality for yourself.
"I love go-carting. I need only get behind the wheel of a go-cart and I start laughing. On my middle brother's wedding day, we took him go-carting in the morning and we laughed more than we drove. I recently lucked upon an exhibit at the Glasgow Gallery of Modern Art called, "Blueprint for a Bogey." In Glasgow, a bogey refers to a homemade go-cart, built of whatever is around, and then driven with reckless abandon by their child-creators. The exhibit was about "play" -- the way in which we interfere with or restrict children's instinctive desire to play, how we seem to lose our innate ability to play as adults, and how we might reclaim that prerogative."

"As adults we like to have an answer to the question "why" when we are doing something. We feel uncomfortable if there's no good reason to pursue a particular activity. Add to that that we feel uncomfortable if we aren't good at something. We reach a certain age and think we ought to be accomplished at everything we pursue. Think -- how limiting is our desire or need to be expert. Add on top of that our fear of looking foolish, which increases with our age. Think more -- how limiting is our desire or need to be thought well of."
Rediscovering the Joy of Play, rang a few bells for me. It is interesting to look at your current behavior and mind set. It says a lot about life's lessons. I "re-learned" by following my emotional reactions to thoughts about the gnarliest times in my life. Then, I started to focus upon that energy and where it was blocked in my body. I made silent statements to myself to kick that jammed up energy totally out of my vibes, and move on.
When you "get it" you realize that you have empowered yourself once again. Giving yourself a mind set of power is an amazing process. It's like plugging back into the great cosmic power source and super-charging your life force. No, I won't go skydiving, but I definitely can find other mischief to get into. Yep!
