We had a tea at the park with our friends today. It was so much fun and it reminded me of the time when tea was an activity not just a beverage. People used to meet for tea and visit with their friends. I started thinking about what a pleasant thing that is, to just spend time with friends for no other reason than to enjoy their company. It was so fun to watch our children enjoying playing and sharing imagination with friends. Children really need to imagine, and share imagining with other children. It was a great reminder that children need to be children and they need to play.
Of course then I started wondering when that need seems to go away, don't adults need to relax and imagine too. People seem to think it's a bad thing when adults "play" as though they were children but one of my professors once told me that invention is just imagination, determination, and hard work so creative play must be important to people of all ages. I do believe I need to have more tea, not the drink, the activity.
