I here sing the praises of play, experiment, ‘make believe’ and imagination, in a bit of a homage to Mr. Rogers, who was popular among various people in my childhood.

Our existence is not revealed to us by mere evaluation, or ‘measurement’. But it can be expanded, revealed and celebrated in inspired experiment. Often this is referred to as Art, or Creativity. But even these words fail to capture the liberties we may embody when we depart the Known for the infinite, the common for the extraordinary, the mundane, for the field of Insight.

So I encourage you, gentle listeners, to orient yourselves to playful experiment, creative play, and ‘make believe’, in those ways that incline us to break out of the prison of our assumptions, expectations, habits and … declarative »identity.
