Playing with Limitations


          "We need to first be limited in order to become limitless." 


A friend, who knows us well. sent us a link to a Ted talk entitled, "Embrace the Shake" featuring artist Phil Hansen.    In art school, Phil Hansen developed an unruly tremor in his hand that kept him from creating the pointillist drawings he loved. Hansen was devastated, floating without a sense of purpose. Until a neurologist made a simple suggestion: embrace this limitation ... and transcend it.

It's a quintessential story of a man who really gets the essence and value of playing.  Listen and you'll understand why.
