“You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.”
— Plato
Conversation, for the most part, is a conscious effort ripe with intention and planning and even a performative edge. Play, on the other hand, tends toward the spontaneous, the unconscious, the fluid. Play reveals the inner child, the essence, the heart.
Relationships are deepened and strengthened through play. When play is present, so is authenticity.
