We are getting good at being responsible yet playful,

Not taking ourselves too seriously,

Enjoying jokes and being teased.



At a deeper level, we are getting good at experiencing our Total Self,

Self of All Beings,

Not just the individual self that chats and plays, works and prays, with a single name.



And this Self is definitely Playful: Smiling, Twinkling, Humming.

Expressing Itself–Our Self–in Dancing Streams of Golden Joy,

High-Pitched Whistles of Cavorting Delight,

Roaring Swooshes of Oceanic Tides.



Definitely supporting our everyday self,

Definitely giving us Experience so we know What’s What

And take our daily life responsibly but lightly: seriously but lightly.
