In my family a name sometimes captures a spirit. Allee and I call our home the \u201cHome for Assistance in Living.\u201d My son David came up with a new name for his office: \u201cCamp Chipaway\u201d! His motto is "A little bit more each day." We may adopt this name too for our world. We may need to! <\/p>\n
What\u2019s really up is the general thrust towards daring to be creative in many ways, dance, body movement, making faces, spontaneity in conversation, etc. From a poem by Dinah M. Craik:
Oh, the comfort—the inexpressible comfort—
Of feeling safe with a person.
Of not having to weigh thoughts or measure sentences,
But pouring them all right out, chaff and grain together,
Trusting that a faithful hand will take and sift them;
Keep what is worth keeping, and with the breath of kindness,
Blow the rest away.<\/p>\n
Dare to play, then. Explore. Associate with people who do likewise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
