appendices i-vii fourth heart

Heart of Play Experience #2 Openness

Making known in a way
that is really still more hidden than known
is a manner of partial playful openness.
I am trying to "capture" this partial openness;
only I really don’t want it captured at all,
just remarked.


We gently hold an openness to possibility. When it happens, we know because some piece of our life puzzle fits into place with a feeling of satisfaction. Again I use the metaphor of puzzles. Puzzle solving tends to use shifts in reference. We shift from using the image on the pieces to place them to using the shape of the piece as a sorting and fitting principle. And then there is some other selection criterion that moves the stalled puzzle solving process forward. Do pieces call to each other?
