The heart is like a garden. It can grow compassion or fear, resentment or love. What seeds will you plant there?
~from BUDDHA'S LITTLE INSTRUCTION BOOK by Jack Kornfield
Play is our contact with our love for life. It brings us back into our joy at being alive and shows us where our freedom is. Play moves us out of our fixed mindsets: it offers freedom from the tyranny of habit, freedom from the mundane and ordinary, from the rational and need to know and be in control. It is freedom from rigid identification with race, class, gender, and even species.
