The child who still lives in the house
Play
Loops hate play. Play is a new path the brain did not see coming. It doesn't have to be fun. It has to be useless enough to be free.
A first walk
- 1
Pick something a child would not call productive. A pebble. A humming. A skip.
- 2
Do it for two minutes. Badly is perfect.
- 3
If the inner grown-up protests, wave. Keep playing.
- 4
Stop while you still want a little more. Wanting more is the seed.
