Playing Toward Truth

Truth (big capital letter ‑ your Religion or Behavioral Model or Politics) seems to require bulletproof perfection, every brick cemented into its inarguable place. Play, on the other hand, is fun, imperfect, changeable, loose; the child laughs when a grown‑up’s tower of wooden blocks topples. But for the Big Stuff I have to Get It Right . . . . right?

To Do This Week

Play at a thing that makes you uptight: experiment with the opposite way of doing something that frightens you. Take a different route to work. Let a kid boss you around (really do what they say – wholeheartedly). Waste time. Don't shower. (Well, maybe just shower at a different time of day; I dunno: maybe skip a day.)
See the movie, Big, and take it seriously; I mean, really BE a kid; no one has to know. Choose bewilderment.
