challenge
My daughter begged me to buy her a Rubik’s cube. When it arrived, she played with it for a few minutes and declared that it was a lot harder than she thought it was going to be. She asked me to solve it, and was astonished when I told her that I’d been playing with them for 40 years and hadn’t solved one yet. So she decided just to have fun. -Michael Tino (CLF)
When have you embraced the challenge of play?
skipping stones
My dad taught me to skip stones on a calm, clear lake. Choose a flat stone if you can find it. Flick with your wrist just so. Let it go parallel to the surface of the water. Sometimes, if you’re careful, there’s magic. Four, five, six skips! -Michael Tino (CLF)
How have you found magic in nature?
possibility
Play can mean endless possibilities. No two moments of play need be alike. No two people play in exactly the same ways. Let go of what you expect and something incredible might happen.
Embrace the possibility of today.
