Since I've become aware of this, I use it as a barometer of how comfortable we are expressing ourselves. Growth is only possible as a product of history. Without memory, innovation is merely novelty. History gives growth a direction. But a memory is never perfect.
Every memory is a degraded or composite image of a previous moment or event.
That's what makes us aware of its quality as a past and not a present. It means that every memory is new, a partial construct different from its source and, as such, a potential for growth itself. Play can only happen when people feel they have control over their lives. We can't be free agents if we're not free.
