Play, in truth, is rife with consequences – immediate, and long-term. Beyond rife, even. And playfulness, I do believe, is even rifer. Playfulness opens you. It lightens your heart. It makes you more receptive (because you are looking for things to play with and people with whom). It engages more of you: mind, body, senses, abilities.
