Playground Dreamsby Ann Allen
"Remember the playground dreams that kept us in rapture
You were extremely disappointed when the bell rang and beckoned you
back inside. Or perhaps you were timid, shy about the prospect of
spending time out of the security of your classroom.
You took a book and waited it out near the building letting the
gentle breeze blow across your face.
The warm sunshine radiated within your body.
Your dreams consumed you and your imagination went wild.
When the bell rang you eagerly went back to your routine -
glad that another recess had passed.
As adults we allow the playground call to go unheeded in favor of some chore that needs doing. Without scheduled recess our imaginations retreat and we become numb. Well, hey, IT IS RECESS TIME! Let go and allow your inner self come out to play.
