The Attitude of Play
The attitude of play = cultivating the possibility of delight in any moment! We're innately wired to play, then learn to postpone it: til recess, til the weekend, til the kids are grown. It becomes a habit to put it off, and it's easy to forget how to become present to creativity, beauty, awe, and silliness. It's essential for our well-being. As an artist, home remodeler, and gardener, there's lots of ways to talk about how I reconnect with the attitude of play, and I invite you to consider: what lights you up, how do you play?
The Attitude of Play
Rain Song on Wine Bottles - ASMR Teaser
Welcome to the attitude of play. :)
You're listening to the sound of rain dripping off a metal roof onto wine bottles nestled in the grass. Differently shaped, all the bottles are blue; gifted by friends for a project. Except the Bombay gin. I drank that one.
I've been noodling this idea for a long time: handpan tone fields? Chimes? Bells? Meanwhile, the bottles had been sitting on the porch, getting in the way. Suddenly I saw them, "wait a minute, let's try those!" Isn't it funny how when an idea suddenly bursts open, it feels magical and wonderful, with a dose of "well DUH."
With each shower, the rain pushes the bottles this way and that; I retune them by nestling them back under the drips when a new shower begins to fall. Such a beautifully easy way to make the rain sing. What does it remind you of?
