It's a real question. With far reaching implications. You see...See-Saw's and Jungle Jim's where the Nicolas Telsa of outdoor play. They taught a lesson of life that is unparalleled to this day. For it taught these life lessons stealthy in jest, and in play. In absolute joy and merriment where all things are known. Now we behold gaudy monstrosities of color and stairs and lame bridges that is playful in appearance only. It's almost dead despite its apparent vitality and youthfulness. Pseudo play, or indoctrination in the playground.
The mighty See-Saw taught the lessons of balance that has escaped the youth and at a time where they need it most. Lost in mobile devices that shows only picture of nature but could not teach of her wondrous secrets to life; like the See-Saw could. And the interconnectedness of all things: the only song the jungle gym sung. Oh how far we have come...and how far yet we have to go to see the truths that at one point in our innocent youth taught us. But our offspring have yet to know; as we "parents of the future" struggle to find common ground. For we learned differently. We learned...while they are taught. Oh there is a difference. One of which I hope to find resolution. In the end. All roads lead home...but some are longer than others. Here's to getting there with love in our hearts and unity of mind.
End of Day 1.
