Bringing the World Closer to Wellness

December 12, 2025

Heart and Power


You can count on me
in a more peaceful world,
where collective power rises softly
our heart, our strongest muscle,
working our whole life.


Playing is the outward evidence of wellness,
listening to the rhythm of your heartbeat,
because play heals. 
Try to have joy in life every day
inhaling the wind, opening our lungs,
laughing together.


Sing, sing, sing
reaching out to join our hands and hearts
with courage and grace.
Having heart is a meaningful start,
so do your part
together we co-create new possibilities
for wellness in the world.


Listening into creating responses, fly…
Physical presence, or a respectful, trustful distance
both create space for new possibilities.


Play with our heart
while empowering others with love,
because we’re in it to win it,
and the heart is a source of power.


Flow freely in the world
together we are powerful,
together we heal.
We dance our stories together,
breaking vicious cycles together,
with courage and kindness, we walk together.
together we heal.


Our heart rules our health
and our evolution.
Power comes from full hearts
dancing together
tender hearts, caring minds
together we love
and embrace differences
with joy.

Keep the Heart Open to Play Possibilities abound for magical connections. Play every day in every way. Play is life. Your delta flow feeds my sisters' feet, fires her soul. Together for global transformation. The hardest times can be boring but also fun. Finding self and others through our play. Live like a kid again. Play fills me with ideas, joy, and wonder. My dreams and passions and visions were already happening. No rules. No clock. No apologies. Just play, play, play. Ready to go be a champion of play. Play is for all of us, both me and you. Together we're so much better than creating play moments alone. Make your heart dance and your soul happy. A moment of play makes your day. Whenever I may, I like to play. Play our way into changing ourselves and the world. Yes, and then magic happens. Eat, drink, and celebrate play. My kingdom for play. My kingdom of play. I took the road less traveled, and that has made all the difference. I want to fly on a swing with glee in the breeze. Play is the essence that brings us together. Play is the embodiment of joy. I am because we play. In gratitude and wonder. I forgot I was a child, babbling, and by playing I remember all I can still become. The growing fire sparked and hissed as it warmed the readers around it. Play is connecting to yourself. How joyous to be connected through play to all of you. Play is a cool day. Play unites. Play inspires. I'm learning to bring my internal curiosity to the exterior world. Play sparks that turn ordinary moments into pockets of wonder. Play connects the world across borders. Many drops, rising tide. My heart is full of playful delight. Sun shining on the ocean. To play today, with all of you Play is going back to the source. Play is always fun. I am ready. Hear my bones here jangling and dancing. Playfulness and joy, the connective tissue of our world. Play creates smiles and giggles. Play fills up my heart with tickles and light. Play weaves our different strands together. Play is fun. Enlightenment. Play is full of colours. Play is architecture. Play connects mind and movement to support human development. Keep the heart open to play. (This poem was created from the chat comments of The Art & Science of Play and then creatively edited)
