Guidelines for Individual Playdates
An opportunity to participate in making and hearing and seeing Beauty–even in our clumsiness, our mistakes, our noises, and our imagined insufficiencies.
Spend a moment in quiet prayer. If you wish, begin by freewriting for 3-5 minutes. Just let the pen empty out your concerns and thanksgiving for the day. Breathe.
My heart is steadfast, O God,
my heart is steadfast!
I will sing and make melody!
Awake, my soul!
Awake, O harp and lyre!
I will awake the dawn!
Oh beauty before me,
beauty behind me,
beauty to the right of me,
beauty to the left of me,
beauty above me,
beauty below me,
Take a moment to breathe and let the playtime settle around you. Carry your curiosity and insights and questions into the day.
On the Power of Delight
On Being Ridiculous
