“It is not the role of metaphor to draw our sight to what is there, but to draw our vision toward what is not there and, indeed, cannot be anywhere. Metaphor is horizonal, reminding us that it is one's vision that is limited, and not what one is viewing.”
― James P. Carse, Finite and Infinite Games: A Vision of Life as Play and Possibility

“To be playful is not to be trivial or frivolous, or to act as if nothing of consequence will happen. On the contrary, when we are playful… everything that happens is of consequence, for seriousness is a dread of the unpredictable outcome of open possibility. To be serious is to press for a specified conclusion. To be playful is to allow for unlimited possibility.”
― James Carse

“Maturity comes when we tend to our inner children and don’t inflict them on our partners to care for.”
― Terrence Real, Us: Getting Past You & Me to Build a More Loving Relationship

“In order to be effective messengers of hope, we must begin by trusting our inner voice, an inner intuition that speaks into the vast wastelands of our time. This process requires training our imagination to see beyond tribal norms, to see the vista of the wider pastures of culture.”
― Makoto Fujimura, Art and Faith: A Theology of Making
