If we are transparent, with nothing to hide, the gap between language and being disappears. Then the Muse can speak.

The noun of self becomes a verb. This flashpoint of creation in the present moment is where work and play merge.

Play cannot be defined, because in play all definitions slither, dance, combine, break apart, and recombine.

Creative work is play. It is free speculation using materials of ones chosen form.

Play, creativity, art, spontaneity, all these experiences are their own rewards and are blocked when we perform for reward or punishment, profit or loss.

If we are transparent, with nothing to hide, the gap between language and being disappears. Then the Muse can speak.

This is the evolutionary value of play- play makes us flexible. By reinterpreting reality and begetting novelty, we keep from becoming rigid. Play enables us to rearrange our capacities and our very identity so that they can be used in unforeseen ways.
