Rev. Liz's Talk: "The Zen of Play?" 🐸
|
Dear Beloved One, Why is it that children can turn a cardboard box into a spaceship while adults turn a vacation into a project plan. Somewhere between finger paints and mortgage payments, many of us forgot that joy is not a reward for being productive. Zen teaches us to be fully present. Play teaches us the same thing. When we’re truly playing, we’re not worrying about yesterday or rehearsing tomorrow. We are completely alive in the moment. Join us this Sunday as we explore the surprising wisdom of play—and how laughter quiets the mind, how curiosity opens the heart, and why your inner child has been filing formal complaints for years. Perhaps enlightenment isn’t found by trying harder. Perhaps it’s discovered by learning to play again. Meditation cushions are welcome. Rubber chickens are optional. With great love and gratitude always, Rev. Liz |
