"Play is not just tossing the football or doing something stereotypical. It can be reading a novel or having an imaginative reverie. There are lots of alternatives that can put one in a 'state of play'... The key component is that your play has no apparent purpose- it should be an activity that's fun or makes you feel good, that provides freedom from time, and that diminishes your consciousnesses of self."
Words of wisdom from Stuart Brown MD and author of Play: How it Shapes the Brain, Opens the Imagination and Invigorates the Soul
