The older we become, the less we forget to play. We become 'bogged-down' with our responsibilities, work, and financial ambition, forgetting about nurturing our imagination and dreams. In my acting class last-night my acting coach reminded us that we're a lucky few to be able to still tap into that dying art, mystery and imagination of a child. Something we all possessed, something that in most of us slowly dies…the ability to create whole new worlds, feelings, emotions and situations in an instant. How magical is that!? To possess such power. To live without fear. To be the master in all outcomes.
Whether we are more creative than others or not, whether we play for a living or not, we should try to dedicate time to "play" more. As one of my favorite authors Khalil Gibran said: "And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair…" For it is true, we are here to not only search and find, desire and conquer but also to enjoy, to experience and to play.
Keep going towards perfection on your life's journey, but take time to really enjoy what is around you. It is good to be focused and dedicated but it is also good to take time to just 'breathe'. Soak in the colours, the sounds, and feel what is around you. Every moment towards your destination is significant and beautiful in it's own way…don't race…finish with grace and God-give style, which is always 'right on time'!
Bless-up darlings,
Love Jair
