"Because of the way we are brought up, we become very serious. Seriousness means that you have become insensitive. Seriousness means that you cannot follow the rhythm of existence, this hilarious cosmic dance. You turn into a zombie, alive yet merely surviving, secure but deep down afraid–and fear brings with it other negativities: shame, jealousy, hatred, greed, misery, depression.

Playfulness means to experience life to the fullest, to explore, to discover, to celebrate and smile at situations. It means to get totally involved in the game of life and yet see life as a game. Life is a game and one can have much fun playing it. Don’t get too serious about it. You can even see suffering as a part of this game. But once you see it this way, suffering immediately turns into laughter. And the transformative power of laughter is tremendous. When you can laugh at suffering, suffering is seen under a new light.  An alchemical reaction takes place. The grey of life becomes an immensely beautiful synthesis of harmonically arranged colors.

Seriousness means sadness, and sadness can only be killed with a wide smile. Never forget to be playful, because once playfulness is lost in our lives, we are lost too."  ~Sofo Archon

Bike race home.  Started out nice and easy then I saw the dude.  Cycling in his lycra uniform and me in my gym shorts, flowing tee shirt and flip flops with my Nap Sack on my back.

I got up on his back tire and I could tell he didn't like it.  Too bad, I have a huge smile on my face, and I'm sucking his rear wheel and effortlessly pedaling along making him do all the work.

I have no helmet on and his aero shaped head kept twisting around to see if he dropped me.  NOPE!

Then I saw my opportunity ...the crossing which he stopped at, I blew through at Mach 2.

Adios, Adjure, see ya later, AMF!  BOOM!!  GONE!!!

Ride or die
