"It can be a dress rehearsal for adult life,..." Page 7 "Make-believe is at the heart of play, and also at the heart of much of what passes for work. Let's make-believe we can shoot a rocket to the moon." Plega in Anglo-Saxon was Play. Plegan in Indo-European meant to risk, chance, expose oneself to hazard. Page 11 "Play is an activity enjoyed for it's own sake." Page 13 "Creativity, psychotherapy, sensation-seeking - all are ideal playgrounds for deep play." Page 14 "It [deep play] contains uncertainty, illusion, an element of make-believe or fantasy, and allows one to take risks, or explore new roles." Page 17 "The spirit of deep play is central to the life of each person, and also to society, inspiring the visual, musical and verbal arts; exploration and discovery; war; law; and other elements of culture we've come to cherish (or dread)."
