But that brings no satisfaction, and we end up trashing the garden spots of the planet. We tried to live as appendages to our machines, discovering only unrelenting meaninglessness in the midst of grime and noise. We will finally move into our destiny when we understand that we are to live in and as adventurous play. We can't go to any other species and ask them. Adventure is an adventure into the unknown.
True play is without predetermined direction or definition.
We are to explore, to learn as deeply as we can, to probe and experiment, and above all to laugh. Humor already reveals the presence of adventurous play - a deep belly laugh might be the one true cry of the human being. Don't be saddened by our lack of knowledge concerning our destiny as cosmic play becomes self- reflexively aware. Put your trust in the entire cosmic process. Think of the tremendous labor of all living forms to have finally arrived at you, the ultimate child of the planet.
