LINKs between Peach and Play

Quietude

As young children play, one can often detect a quietude and calm. Kids can play as though they possess a deep, private and distant existence, which is just beyond the observer's understanding.

Play emanates a sense of peace.

Slivers: childish innocence

A fragment of the calmness is childish innocence. It can stays alive in each individual into maturity, but may remain dormant.

Eureka

Wisdom, and the flashes of intuition and inspiration that occur from time to time throughout life, spring from this same quiet place. This quality in young children, ephemeral as it may appear, is a powerful force, and lies deeply embedded in the psyche.

Play is culture-based and linked with the world of myth, magic and the imagination. Play is a natural expression. In playing the creative energies are released.

Unleashing Creative Energies

Creative play may take the form of singing, dancing, music making, painting, sculpting, building, working in wood or other materials, including water and wind. Embroidery, role-play, story telling, poetry, or in many other ways. Some play is original and inventive. Some play is picked up from others.

Play and creating are often indistinguishable from each other.

The forces of both play and creativity are refreshed and renewed every time they are used.

Play and creative acts give self-confidence and a certain protection from negative influences.

These acts have the properties of healing, revitalizing, strengthening and calming.

The products of our creation are an outward sign of our personality. By creating outwardly our personality is affected inwardly. This means that we are involved in creating the person we become. By using our creative potential, we are able continually to recreate ourselves.

Creating is an important source of our inner peace.

By creating we are able to contribute to the shared pool of peace that exists in the world.
