Legless reminded me
I love Desiderata.

The words I've put below really resonate with me too. Learning, as a sort of grown up, that playing was important, and realising I'd missed out on a lot of it, this hit me hard. I had this stuck up at my desk in my crappy job, and it was the last thing I took down on Monday when I left. I love this. Thank you howies for sharing this with me.

Play is the Medicine Man

You're not designed for office life.
You're not designed to just sit there.
You're a hunter-gatherer, dammit.
That urge to get out there goes back a long way.
You need to feel the four winds.
To tell stories around a shared camp-fire.
To see the stars that will be famous for more than 15 minutes.
To leave the hubbub, humdrum and hoo-ha behind.
To listen to the stream trickle on its way.
To go to places 4x4's only get to in TV commercials.
To put some distance between you and your work.
To forget everything for a while.
To make some molehills out of mountains.
Play is best when not done to a deadline,
nor does it require a finish line.
Play is a multivitamin. Play is a de-tox. Play is head yoga.
Play is the natural enemy of stress.
Play is good. Play is great. Play is brilliant.
Play is splashing in puddles, climbing mountains,
and riding across them.
Play is juvenile, pointless and dumb.
And frankly, all the better for it.
Work is complicated. Play is simple.
Summer's coming. Go play.

I really like this! I think I'll print it out and have it on the wall opposite me, next to the window.

I used to have this
