As I approach a milestone birthday I believe more than ever that you are never too old to play, to laugh. With laughter and play (and that includes music and dancing) we find liberation and joy and, yes, healing. In my book that’s magic. The more you can find a way to laugh and smile in the face of stresses, even big ones, there is the possibility of turning them in to an adventure or at least a valuable journey.
When you are playing or laughing you are able to forget about who you think you are and to explore who you really are.
Rigidity and control are the antithesis of joy and magic. Embrace spontaneity and play.
Me? I’m going to head to the backyard with my own 46” pink, green and silver Hula Hoop, hope the neighbors aren’t watching, listen to a little rock n’ roll and have a little fun.
If you want magic in your life, you have to make room for some fun and play.
I’ll tell you about the magic, it’ll free your soul from the 1965 classic Do you believe in magic? by the Lovin’ Spoonful
