There is much despair, doom and gloom about what we have done to our Home, our Planet Earth and about its unfolding consequences. Things seem overwhelming, particularly if you start thinking about it… and believe you cannot do anything but that: think. And thinking is not going to get us out of this hole, ‘Prof’ Hanstein says here.
No, he urges us to play ball, with balls too, and thereby positively, unpredictably transform this Big Ball we live on into a beautiful place worth living on, and for.
Interdependence, he says: We’re all connected. Now, I’ve done some thinking about that, uhhh, oops, …not too much of that he says. Things go well anyway when you play in life. Maybe playing is a form of ‘thinking?’
Maybe it’s best if I let Hanstein introduce his blog himself:
“HANSTEIN mixes Physical Education & Sports with basic Quantum Physics and invites YOUNG PEOPLE (13+) from all walks of life to start transforming their world, step by step. His web blogs, full of Creativity, Hope & Balls can be read in(ter)dependently from each other but it is preferable to start with TAKE 1, then TAKE 2, etc. LET’S PLAY BALL!”
Oh, and yes, the world really IS so interconnected, unpredictable and just one giant relationship. Realising that is a great ‘alternative energy’ inside all of us. It’s what it’s all about. Yes, we all drop balls too. Life’s throws up curly events.
Receiving Hanstein’s blog post by email is one of them: He was one of the kids that I grew up with in my Dutch neighbourhood. He loved soccer even then, I was and remain totally disinterested in the game. We come from the same place, literally, and half-way across the world, he in Canada, I in Australia, we’re busy with similar themes – Hanstein more physically so than I am (being a veteran wheelchair-user) but that just gives you different angles on flourishing within limitations.
You can play with that!
All power to you Hanstein!
