We visited the Toronto zoo a couple of weeks ago and we watched the otters play in the water. It reminded me that we don't play enough. I love to play. Not just competitive games but silly things like climbing a tree or dressing up or doing puzzles with the grand kids. When I taught I loved to do fun things with my students. It is too easy to look at Mathematics as a discipline and not see the fun and joy of it.
Our God is playful. Why else would He make the otter the anteater or other such creations. I sometimes think we miss the playfulness of God because we are too busy defending Him (you cannot defend a lion) or trying to understand Him (how can a finite mind understand the infinite). Sometimes we just need to enjoy Him and His wonderful creation.
