Of Nature, Memory And The Nature Of Play

We are nature creatures and it is our nature to play.

Play intelligence is woven into the fabric of human nature the way that flight is woven into an eagle and predation into a great white shark.

To play in nature is to discover not only the wider world but to discover ourselves. It is the seed that weaves a wreath that covers the earth, the wreath that links humans from West Africa to Polynesia, from Palestine to California, spanning the ages of Man from the Cro-Magnons to the unborn children of the future like the linking genetic chains of DNA that traverse the human body.

It is with the indelible emboss of childhood experience in nature that in later years we reach deep into the well of memory and with cupped hands retrieve those golden waters.
