A Philosopher of Toys

Including play and joy in our lives throughout year.

I should write a philosophy of toys...

I've thought a bit lately about what Robert Lynd said regarding Christmas.

“Were I a philosopher, I should write a philosophy of toys, showing that nothing else in life need to be taken seriously and that Christmas Day in the company of children is one of the few occasions on which men become entirely alive.”

There is a deeper meaning here than just toys at Christmas.

It speaks to me of focusing on the right things, the essential things, the things in our life with meaning.

🌀Reflection:

🧸 What would it mean to be a philosopher of toys, of play, excitement, and meaning all year long?
