Well-played.

To everyone who is creating something, we need to play and learn to play well.

Any creation, big and small, is a revolution that brings about a change to the physical world. It arrives as a thought, an urge, a possibility to which it leans into our skills and personalities to take shape in the material plane. We are the portal for the ethereal to manifest. Yet we are also the student and the receiver. Our ideas and creations will challenge us, teach us, change us. Creating is an inside-out revolution.

But “[l]et us be wary of any revolution that isn’t threaded with an element of play, celebration, mystery, and humor. If it is primarily a grim struggle, then it may be no revolution at all.” (The More Beautiful World... also mentioned in New Activism)

Afterall, a game well-played leaves you better than a game you win but without a sense of enjoyment.
