New title June 8, 2011

After some feedback about the incongruity between the title of my blog and the content of my posts. I have been challenged to come to some form of alignment. I agree and have done for some while that my blogs are far from playful and they do often grapple with the stuff that impedes playfulness in my world. My desire when writing is to be as authentic as possible to the flow of thoughts, feelings and ideas that come from a place in me that is transparent and vulnerable. My desire is not to get the reader dancing on their seats or having them guffaw in laughter. And yet there is something I want to do with ‘play’… but maybe not here. Its like the pottery workshop I went to with six friends a few weeks back. Give everyone a piece of clay and you will have six entirely different pots…. we create what we create, we can be trained to create something different but it will always have something of our essence in it. So my writing flow is not playful, and yet it plays with ideas, it plays with what is there, it dances with what is around me. It plays with emotion, it plays with spirit, and it has even had me rolling down hills playing in my body. It doesn’t play light… and it doesn’t make me laugh!!!
So what to call the blog?
