Love all the earth, every ray of God's light, every grain of sand and blade of grass, every living thing. If you love the earth enough, you will know the Divine Mystery.
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.
