In the 52nd fragment, Heraclitus descibes Aion, cosmic time, as a child at play, play as a a metaphor for the ever-living cosmic fire pur aeizoon, ' the lightning-bolt which steers all things'. We can and must share imaginary acts, but our imaginations, if they are to empower, overturn and keep us awake at night becauses we're creatures who desire, should be allowed to urn with a unique, vibrant light. - Susanna Crossman

Every now and then, a person with no agenda, no ulterior motive, and no self-insterest will take pleasure in helping you to succeed, grow and live your purpose. This person will operate in love, will seek no praise, and will want nothing in return. This person is a gift. - unknown

Deep play arises in such moments of intense enjoyment, focus, control, creativity, timelessness, confidence, volition, lack of self awareness (hence transcendence) while doing things intrinsically worthwhile, rewarding for their own sake, it feels cleansing because when acting and thinking becomes one, there is no room left for other thoughts. - Diane Ackerman
