Playing on the internet

mrsbrownPlay - it's done for it's own sake, leads one to the next stage of mastery, appears purposeless, and includes a feeling of timelessnessness (outside of time)
I'm so glad reading counts.
I'm listening to this podcast about play. there's also this fabbo slideshow and this description of the different types of play
I'd love to play with these rings, but I think my huge hips (and consequential low centre of gravity) will mean that I won't be able to enjoy them like these people can. I wonder what similar thing I could play with? I should go climbing more often.
I'm constantly thinking of all the SCA play I do/have done :) What's next?
Other notes:
Rough and tumble play reduces violence in later life - it helps develops empathy and trust. In a study of murderers NONE had engaged in rough and tumble play.
Play prepares for an evolving planet
Without play there is no irony
The difference between competition (good) and contest (bad).
Keeping their bodies safe and endangering their souls
I got here via http://www.magpie-girl.com/ who's written lots of stuff that strikes a chord for me:
Identify the essentials and just/only do them
Write a list of the things you have done
Setting limits on your "stuff to do" list
Of course, none of this is getting my bedroom cleaned up (essential if I'm to get dressed today, or tomorrow, or next week before work), or getting me into work to pick up the stuff I want/need to do this weekend. but I have to get dressed first, dear Henry.
