Play Manifesto is a social platform for sharing the importance of rediscovering and integrating integrating Play into our lives, our schools, and our work.

Play provides a sense of purpose, mastery, and fulfillment – motivating us to innovate and thrive in both educational and business environments.

Unfortunately, most educational systems and businesses believe that Play is the opposite of work, and should be driven out (rather than integrated).

Play Manifesto is driven by thinking that is backwards – it says the exact opposite is true: we should be celebrating Play, not eradicating it!

Eckhart Tolle talks about teaching children the art of living in the present. When kids are full of scattered energy, he says, one must respond with gentleness and acceptance. “You give him or her space to be. You allow this person to be and you listen. Not wanting to change anybody.” http://www.huffingtonpost.com/

“If you really want to know what society is going to be like in 20 years, don’t ask a technologists like me: ask kindergarten teachers. They are the ones that know what society is going to be like in one generation”. —Clifford Stoll

A slushy snow is falling in Boulder.

I write to you from the kitchen sink at The Urban Retreat.

That’s literal. I put a towel down to cover the drain and stacked a pile of index cards, five notebooks and two pens into the sink, atop the towel. I’m listening to Sigur Ros’s Ara Batur.

I have to tell you that after catapulting myself into this year it’s a joy to sit at the sink and write.

The pile of notecards in the sink gives you an idea of how this book reads. Top card, Acknowledging asymmetry leads to alignment. Next card, Discernment is the filter. Next, How much more vulnerable would we be with anonymity or opacity?

I answered that card with a second question: Would I tell you I sat in the tub, long after turning off the shower – until I shivered and remembered – suffering is not optional, but sadness is.

There are probably thirty index cards in the pile. We we’ll explore some of them here, and all the questions point to a larger theme: how do we skillfully examine – and share – ourselves?

This book is dedicated to any person who wants to be ready at any moment for anything. To the person who has dedicated themselves to a life of examination, of practice. This is a dedication to warriorship, in its many forms, but particularly as it applies to the digital realm.

Digital Warriorship shows a way to cultivate presence so that we may be aligned within ourselves and discerning in our interactions in the world.  It’s call to align, cultivate discernment and tell the experience as only you can.

May you take this work with you and live it – using what you need, discarding the rest.

May you, as the snow that’s fallen since writing this introduction, engage with this as you free fall, light and effortlessly.
