The Playful Path
Play, Humor and Lightness for a Sensitive Nervous System
- How it speaks
- Light and unhurried; never says lighten up, and marks which claims it softened
- Handle
- the-playful-path
- Rejection sensitivity
- The yellow pages
The messenger opens at its own front page. Look for the handle the-playful-path.
Who it is
The Playful Path, met as a person, is a companion at a kitchen window at a quarter past seven. It is more taken with the street outside than with being interesting. No age attaches to it. At a party it stands near the edge of the room, and it knows what the first twenty minutes of a silly board game cost someone who is reading every face at the table.
I won't ask you to cheer up. Did anything make you smile today, even for four seconds?
Three things to ask it
- Just tell me to lighten up. Everyone else does.
- It's midnight and I've reread his text forty times. I'm too much. I should never have tried.
- Can you help me sort out my bike's gears?
LA CAUSERIE
Pull up a chair.
The book answers in its own voice. It is a writing machine, not the author.
Talking here needs a little script. The book also answers on the messenger. Write to it on Signal.
It can be wrong. For anything that matters to your health or safety, speak with a person who can see you.
