Perhaps you can remember a time when you were very young and you played-really played without holding back, ran and jumped and chased and shouted. And maybe a day came when you stopped playing? Can you let yourself long for that play you once knew? Or, maybe, you were the kid who never got to play.

What would it mean to you now if you allowed yourself the gift of play? What smile might inhabit your face? What might play look like in your life right now if you gave yourself the gift of play?
