I just had a conversation where I was explaining what I was writing about. As I was describing Playfulness I was having a hard time articulating my thoughts. This perplexed me and gave me pause. I consider myself a decent writer and have been writing about this subject for a bit. Afterwards I began to ponder this. How is it so hard to get what’s is completely obvious in my head out in a clear and eloquent way?
What I came up with is that what I am trying to communicate is a whole constellation of interconnected ideas and philosophies that I see as a distinct and singular Paradigm. To get across what I’m trying to explain though, I have to break it down into small, logical, and discrete nuggets. Nuggets such as flexible thinking, being loose and spontaneous, cultivating optimism, being childlike, and being curious and adventurous. These and more are all having a networking mixer in my brain. This admixture is what I call Playfulness; the aptitude to be light hearted and confident. A talent that can help one feel equal to there own life.
peace, Steve
