We were jumping off sand dunes on the coast in San Francisco --and would you believe that it was part of an exercise for a class I was taking in graduate school?! I was throwing myself in the air and out on the dunes time and time again. It was a blast.
Then as I ran and tossed myself out as far as I could go, I must have said out loud “I want to go soooo far.” One of the facilitators heard me and asked ,“do you mean on this dune or in life?”. At that moment I had meant on the dune, but as he asked me, it struck me that this was how I felt about my life.
I loved the sense of freedom, joy, and experimentation I was feeling on the dune and yes -- this is what I imagined for my life. I did want to see how far I could fly on the dune and I was excited to see how far I could fly in life.
The class I was taking was called: Releasing the Spirit of Play. My professor, Thomy Barton, opened a door for me in 1983 that has brought you and me to this blog. For in Play, I found the pathway to flying in life – and for dealing with the tumbling in life. These days we are in the flying mode; throwing ourselves more fully into play than ever before -- re-connected to that day on the dune, the joy of going far -- with a huge smile on our faces.
Welcome to our blog.
Let’s see how far we can go together!
