....the Baptist Pastor, Walter Rauschenbusch, died. He believed that Christianity, by its nature, is revolutionary; and tried to remind society of this. He was so right, and probably marginalised for it. Anyway, I'd best get off my soap-box.
He also said 'The real joy of life is in its play. Play is anything we do for the joy and love of doing it, apart from any profit, compulsion, or sense of duty. It is the real joy of living.'
Sometimes we bully ourselves into respecting some kind of an imaginary deadline. And sometimes we feel that something must happen before the crunch point arrives. But no matter what's so urgent or what's seemingly so wrong, it often doesn't hurt to relax a bit - and allow yourself to play a little more.
You do not know what life means when all the difficulties are removed. (Jane Addams)
