Play requires safety; freedom to be vulnerable

Trying an experiment of a preroll, an old clip, and a postroll. 
Added a little music in between, lemme know if that worked or was distracting. 

 Play requires a sense of safety.
When we play, we move into flow state, without editing or critique.
We are vulnerable. Safety is required to play. 

 Callisi kitty, a white Turkish angora, arrived fall of 2021, and this episode features a clip I recorded then, watching her immediately begin playing the moment she felt fully secure, fully sovereign, in her ability to control her vulnerability. In that open space of safety, she became playful, goofy, curious, and much more willing to explore her world. 

Emotionally, in your world, where do you have safety to be vulnerable?

Next episode: how did you play as a kid? How do you play now? 
Are you doing the same kinds of things, or is it vastly different?
