Eduardo Sacco Caprotti

A seed was once planted.
It first looked for connections,
within itself to better understand its form,
with the ground and the sky to better understand its place in space.

It started to grow, roots and trunk expanded.
The roots developed downwards creating a dynamic network with the ground.
The trunk went upwards reaching for the sky in an active dialogue with gravity.
It looks to me like it was an attempt to create a space for better communication between the above and below, allowing what is "in-between" to express and explore.

Branches grew too.
Indeed everything developed from that seed at once.
Like a musical harmony, nothing was isolated nor uniform. It was a unity allowed to wander in the realm of creativity.

It all was available, ready to listen and share as it felt appropriate to do.
It all engaged into the process of growing, developing and expanding like a network able to change yet not get lost.
It all enjoyed living, embracing the uncertainty and irregularity that life presents.

Then one day, this seeed, which now was a young tree, looked around and started to notice so many other trees. They were all trees like him, still none of them was like the other. They were unique like everyone else.
Like you,
like me.

Play.

We wandered tipping into developmental stages, looking for what may be left within us. Can we still play child-like, beyond purpose?

The modern science seems to confirm the crucial role of play in mammals, it is about survival. The drive for playing seems to be in the brain stems, the most ancient brain we have. The story goes that if we take out all the other brain structures, once recovered, the mice are still up for a play!

We play to remember that every moment is a new moment, we play to communicate with and without sounds, we play to retrieve curvilinear movement and dance alike motion, we play to unify and welcome diversity.

Play benefits you as an individual, you as a group/community/business.
Creativity, curiosity, empathy, self-regulation, optimism, cooperation, problem solving,..

How does your play look like today, in your context?

As I look for continuum, I am not following the rush I can feel burning under my skin.
No, I am not talking about the incredible power of the Australian sun!

As I look for continuum, I am not stopping and starting over and over. I rather wish to find ways to smoothen the transitions from place to place.
Yes, I aim to blend into the motion also the "very beginning" and "very end" almost like I never enter or exit the stage. It may change form, but the performance does not end.

As I look for continuum, I am not avoiding to reach further or challenging my home. I try to expand and come back like a pulsating heart or a pair of lungs, which streatch and recoil attempting to share with the whole clean energy to sustain and enhance the continuum of my development.

As I look for continuum, I let go "ends" and welcome "ands".
