“The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity.” – Carl Jung
What if we really let ourselves play? One of my favourite playgrounds is my art journal. Page after page of happy creating is good for my soul. Sometimes the thought 'what is this good for?' creeps into my head. Well, what if it is good for no other reason than it makes me happy? My play instinct is definitely a necessity. I believe it is for everyone. The actual play may be different for each of us but it is there nonetheless. I give myself permission to indulge that instinct. I give you permission to do the same. Not that you need my permission.
