Can you come out to play? (spiritually speaking, of course :)

It is all play. My old sensei called it "serious fun." The look on the face of a samurai plunging into what he believes is his last battle--a great grin on his face and the joy of battle...of course there are other kinds of play. This is just the one that came to mind. This is not a call to lighthearted slaughter, but a call to joy and play in every aspect of life, including death. Timothy Leary went out in a spirit of play...telling us all that "dying is the most important thing we do." I, for one, want people to laugh and joke at my funeral, not hold their faces in pinched discomfort at seeing the unpleasant side of the family for the mandatory grief-fest. I'm already doing my best to see that I have no estate to fight over!

Oh yes! laughter is my best path into the mind, all happy and relaxed
I know you are there I can hear you and feel you but my awareness is conscious that I AM trying to tap into it and so is playing hide and seek today.
Come out come out where ever you are I have some great games to play. But my awareness is playing hard to get out so I WILL sit very VERY still and wait and wait and wait until it thinks the coast is clear then when it does try to take a peak I pounce and hold it in the light and make it look, I can't believe I lived so long in the dark.

A person who is of a deeply felt spiritual heart is very much in touch with the child in them. The playfulness, finding the joy in simple aspects of life, to live your life not have your life live you, to feel and express a smile that beams with pure happiness . . .
I'm 50...I still very much go out and play. Interact with street performers while in the City, find joy in nature, will climb a tree for the experience, will spontaneously dance with a group at a festival, take a bike ride then stop to lay on the grass and look at the outline of the trees...the cloud formations, behave a bit feisty while still being respectful and nice. I'm a proper lady, deeply spiritual, responsible adult, woman with a dear heart...but...Ohhhhh how I love to go out and play . . . Oh yah ! ! !

Absolutely!!! Playfulness and imagination are essential to rumination on life, the universe, 42, and everything, IMHO...

I've laughed more being on Yahoo Answers R&S than I have on any other forum. This place has some wickedly funny people.

well I love the humorous questions people ask about Jesus, like the one earlier about what kind of car would he drive. I don't find them offensive, nor do I think they are supposed to be. I think it's good to laugh, it takes years off your face.

I think a better word for 'playfulness' is: light-heart-edness
Speaks for itself, i think. ;-)
