The talented Jamie Ridler asks, “What do you wish to envision?” This week I decided to participate in her weekly wishcast by sharing my secret wish with you.
I wish to envision a world where adults are kids again. At work we get a recess breaks three times a day. Everyone stops what they’re doing and gets together for a game of kickball or skipping rope. At 3pm we’re done for the day and it’s tim to play on our sports team, practice an instrument, or scribble on the sidewalk with chalk. We are encouraged to get messy, experiment with paints, and wander through forests like great explorers.
Adults wake up happy and curious and sing for no reason. We are oblivious to race and gender and everyone is equal. We share their toys nicely and make up the rules as we go. Our creativity is bursting and there are no limits to what we believe we can do.
“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” – Pablo Picasso
My vision is a world without money. And I think it is very much a world like yours.
Where we work because we want to and where we have everything we need and not a thing extra.
Where we consume what we need.
Work as we have to, not a minute more, and sleep a little bit more that we need to
As you wish this for yourself, I too wish this for you in all it’s colour
I wish for a world where people are kinder than necessary!
This is a beautiful thing to envision! Thank you so much!
As Carla Kay wishes for herself, so I also wish for her (and the rest of us too)!
What a beautiful wish, I think there would be a lot less grouchy people in the world, if they were made to play.
