COME OUT AND PLAY

DO

not let

the dark side

of night

rob

from you

the delight

of dawn

You remember--having fun.  Play--it’s not just for kids.

The worry-ridden world attempts to ring the play right out of us.  Say it isn’t so.

Hopefully, all of us have some childhood memories that represent to us the simplicity of just playing.  It almost seems irresponsible on some levels.  As adults, we have to schedule fun. What a pity.  It can still be found in the simplest moments.

Our myopic lives tend to shield us from the vicarious play of others in all venues.  Merely watching the play of others can give us a temporary fix until we can schedule in our own display.

Watching children delight in things we have long-since written off can always bring to us feelings of JOY.

Observing the grin of a dog as it leads it’s owner on a walk can always be enjoyed without the need to carry a poop-bag in your pocket.

Watching birds bathing in a fountain, or to be transfixed by an aerial display, shouldn’t be brushed aside as passé.

Play is to be found all around, even when you are relegated to spectator-status.  Better yet, schedule in some fun yourself and watch the smile return.
