Cosmologia Ludica (trans. Play Cosmology), is a whimsical philosophical investigation and prayerbook to “divine play” – defined as joyful listening and responding to the unknown without craving or aversion. When we are able to distance ourselves from the egoic rush felt in most popular games and sports, then, divine play finds us, in the soft shaking of leaves on branches, in the emotions felt in our bodies as we pass through our busy days, in the beautiful conversations that ensue with others, in the vibrant dance of music, in the shared resonance of our moving bodies as we tumble against each other. What kind of listening and responding to the unknown will bring you to your deepest and highest joy? What divine game will you play? This is one of the essential questions of life. The God of Play is asking it of you.https://www.blurb.com/b/11140542-cosmologia-ludica

You are certain. You say something and what you say has a tone of absolute finality. “Oh actually this is the way things are.” How can one play with such certainty? Play is responsiveness. So then what is the responsiveness that I can give here? My options are limited. I can agree with you – “Oh yes, that is the way of things, and here is why.” I can build upon your words. We make an idea-house together. You put a plank, I put a plank, you put a plank, I put a plank. We build together. Yes and yes and yes and yes. But this yes-building is rather difficult. Why? Because buried in your words, buried behind your idea is a feeling. This feeling isn’t said, but I can feel it. It’s so very loud for me. And it is this feeling that is so hard to play with. This feeling says, “This must be so!” This feeling says, “Anything otherwise is not acceptable.” The feeling says, “Arg! The world is so fucked up! Ahhhh this is bad! Ahhh badness badness badness badness unto all that is not like this.” But I am too sensitive. I notice the tiny peaks of this feeling slipping through the surface of your words. And to build plank upon plank, to build a house in this fashion together (saying yes and yes and yes) is to build a house whose foundation is built on anger and negation. Certainty has roots in fear. Certainty contains hidden anger and rejection. Certainty is a resistance to play.
