Learning how you play, and remembering to play as an adult is in my opinions one of the most important things one can do for their mental health. As well as finding great people like Duncan to play with. Life is so short, yet so long and stressful, playing is a great way to remember the miracle that is around us.


Agreed 100%. It seems like most adults forget the joy that can be had with play, and just the endless possibilities to play when you're an adult.

I did not appreciate the power of a sense of humor, but IMO it kinda ties into this. Humor is essentially "playing" with language.


Related to playing, feeling shame, and being yourself, but in the context of exploring body movement: https://youtu.be/l0O9wfIdP8w

That guy suggests a way of overcoming shame, by "feeling the fear of god" (apparently a common expression in Israel) and using it as a guide to being present all the time.
