The Necessity of Play

Revisited this quote from Campbell in Primitive Mythology today - a fitting capitulation of so much of our lives:

“Best of all, however, is the gift of immaturity itself, which has enabled us to retain in our best, most human, moments the capacity for play. In puppyhood animals show a capacity for play, when they are protected from the dreadful seriousness of the wilderness by the guardianship of parents; and practically all make a charming display of it again in courtship. However, in man – or perhaps we should say, rather, in the best of men, though indeed in the majority of women – the capacity is retained throughout life. It is, in fact, only those who have failed, one way or another, in their manhood or womanhood, who become our penny-dreadfuls, our gorillas and baboons.”'

Movie progressing slowly, in the contractual phrase. Once we have all the equipment and are rolling in April, daily posts to come. Axel, Mike and I are in the planning/scripting process now, which is spawning daily ideas...more goodies soon....
