Building your inner playground
As wonderful as it is to have a whole mind to play with, sometimes it helps to have a small,
fenced-in place to play in – a private, very personal space designed specifically for playing
with which ever of my selves happens to drop by. Sometimes, even games won’t work. They
take too much organizing, they make me think too much. Sometimes I just need something
to play with, something where I can take my selves for a ride, something like a see saw or
swing set.
Having these around allows for a particularly meditative kind of play, where my selves can
reflect and relax, listen and loosen, play and be played with.
This part of the inner playground is in a deeper, more protected part of my psychological
geography.
If you want to come there with me, you first need to put your self in a place where your body
is safe and you can lie back and close your eyes and let you mind drift along, without worry,
without attention, without interruption.
