Release the Inner Adult

When we were children, we could only play as children. We couldn’t really choose to be childlike, to be playful, to have fun, because it was what we did whenever we could, with or without permission or even intention. We didn’t even know, let alone think of what we were doing as being particularly playful. But as adults, given the opportunity, finding the permission to come out and play together – we can bring all those years of power, experience, compassion, all those competencies and strengths, all the stories and histories, all our sophistication and post-pubescent powers into play. We can release the inner-adult. We can set it free to weave its majestically playful path into the fabric of the daily game.
