Simplicity

"First a crystal, cold and brilliant.
Then a sheet, thin and brittle.
Ice forms - releasing your burden, unfreezing your simplicity."

So says the Kuan Yin Oracle. And so it is with Play as Being. In both cases, it's an apparent paradox. Ice forms, but something else becomes unfrozen. You seem to fill your life with more activity (with the "9 seconds every 15 minutes" Play as Being practice), yet your life becomes less cluttered. How is this?

Burdens become held in suspension. Perspectives become clearer. A sense of proportion based on what really matters takes over. But putting aside esoteric insights for a moment, it means, very simply, that you are more ready to face where you find yourself, day to day.
