No neighborhood Munchkin could be spotted hanging upside down from its main horizontal bar.<\/p>\n<p>Was this piece of equipment, and the memories it triggered, more appealing to an oldster like me than to a kid?\u00a0 Where was the spirit of play?<\/p>\n<p>What is PLAY?<\/p>\n<p>I was amazed by how the two trees that made suspending this portable playlot possible lined up perfectly, but I was somehow bothered by the feeling that I was looking at a product, not at witnessing play in progress.<\/p>\n<p>I have been upset by the \u201cbusiness\u201d of professional sports, the sense that a signing bonus has become more important to an athlete than the love of his game. Granted, professional athletes execute skills at an elevated level, but they\u2019re still referred to as \u201cplayers,\u201d right?<\/p>\n<p>Even when an activity typically categorized as \u201dplay\u201d is more cerebral and less physical than participating in a sport, like playing solitaire on your smart phone, I don\u2019t feel like the spirit of play is present.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it\u2019s easier to think about PLAY by considering what it is not.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Play is not an activity that requires balls, special equipment, or uniforms.<\/li>\n<li>Play is not about sports, or necessarily aerobic, although play can involve physical activity.<\/li>\n<li>Play is not a game or contest. Play is not about winning or losing.<\/li>\n<li>Play is not about performing. Although one can play an instrument, the joy is in making sound, not in having an audience.<\/li>\n<li>Play is not a distraction, or an app on your phone, or a retreat from thinking,<\/li>\n<li>Play does not have to be an arranged social activity, as in a \u201cplay date.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Play is not for children only. The need to play is important regardless of age.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Play is state of mind. It\u2019s a realm that operates out of imagination, experimentation, flexibility, and openness.\u00a0 It\u2019s a state of freedom, an orientation without agenda, expectation or judgement.<\/p>\n<p>At play, one experiences timelessness. At play, one enjoys any moment for its own unique discovery.<\/p>\n<p>A person at play might ask himself \u201cWhat would happen if\u2026.?\u201d or \u201cI never thought about\u2026 That\u2019s kind of cool.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Play is about being delighted with whatever is being presented to you. Play promotes \u201csurprise\u201d as a good thing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Play, <\/strong>for a child, is not in a jungle gym or skill at a game. For an adult, <strong>play<\/strong> is not in the pleasure derived from a possession or besting a personal time doing something.<\/p>\n<p>Play is a gift you give yourself, a state of being who you are and aware of what\u2019s happening around you. Acknowledging the pleasure in that is, itself, enough.<\/p>\n<p>I have spent years in pursuit of goals or bemoaning that the goals seemed out of reach. I have taken joy out of different forms of creative expression, as creator and as audience. But I\u2019m learning that play is not in the activity but rather the sense of freedom I bring to what I do.<\/p>\n<p>More and more, I\u2019m trying to allow myself time to play.<\/p>\n<p>Giving yourself fully to the spirit of PLAY is no small thing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had to stop and look at the contraption as I encountered it; a
