Permission to Play

What happens when play is our greatest opportunity?

Where we are and where we are headed does not require us to “fight” or take anyone down.

Many of us are beginning to understand that we’re here to create — from a healthy life to healthy systems that serve us. Imagine a world with no conflict “management” and more conscious creations of what we need?

Wisdom from Anthony De Mello:

“When you renounce something, you’re stuck to it forever. When you fight something, you’re tied to it forever. As long as you’re fighting it, you are giving it power. You give it as much power as you are using to fight it.

“How does one cope with evil? Not by fighting it but by understanding it. In understanding it, it disappears. How does one cope with darkness? Not with one’s fist. You don’t chase darkness out of the room with a broom, you turn on a light.”

“Until somebody told you you wouldn’t be happy unless you were loved, you were perfectly happy.”

It’s not that we fear the unknown. You cannot fear something that you do not know. Nobody is afraid of the unknown. What you really fear is the loss of the known. That’s what you fear.
