play.

“A playful, childlike attitude can be extremely fruitful. Let us not be too embarrassed to acknowledge that play is often what motivates us.” – Pierre Laszlo, ‘Science as Play’

There’s serious science showing that play is more than fun and games. In fact, it may be essential to our well-being. But don’t take it too seriously – just make some time to relax in whatever way works for you. How will you play today?
