Description
We forget what it is like
to laugh, to play,
we forget what it is like to
exist in moments of joy.
Playfulness is an attitude of pure glee,
playing is curiosity in action,
approaching each moment as new,
full of beautiful possibility, of imagination.
It's a grace and laughter
even when falling and crawling
It uses our bodies, hearts, minds, and spirits to explore the world around us with kindness and awe.
But we often forget this because of worries and anxiety
We really need to remember to play.
