Play, search the stars, chase the clouds. It has taken millions of years to create that “reality suit” you are wearing. There is nothing on the earth like it. Respect it, explore it, use it. Yes, there is work. There is suffering. There is justice that needs pursuing, but rest, play and wonder. Lay on a hill, feel the synchronicity of all the world in motion and give yourself the gift of play.

The Pink Tent
We have so little time at the carnival. Give yourself time to play.
