Deep Play

There's nothing wrong with playing around, playing for fun, playing for no reason and with no other agenda... but play can be serious, too.

Most animals play. Evolution itself plays with lifeforms Whole cultures play with customs, ideas, belief systems, and fashions. But it's a special caliber of play—deep—that leads to transcendence, creativity, and a need for the sacred. -Diane Ackerman [ch1-nyt]
