playing the game of life—
paper-scissors-stone
“Paper-Scissors-Stone” was a game played by children worldwide. It may still be played—I don’t know. Though this game began in China as an easy pastime, it was also a game of strategic action, of using only the hand and determining when to open it, when to cut/shoot, when to hold tight. Simple yet profound.
Early in my yoga training, I remember a teacher walking into class and saying first thing: The game of life is the game of the mind. His words have always stayed with me, and immediately came to mind when I saw this scene of natural elements—earth, water, space—in lively juxtaposition.
