Love this post, and it's my first introduction to the term 'deep play'. I'm familiar with taking a break from work, of course, but will really be playing (ha!), with this concept more and to incorporate more of it into my life... Especially at the hardest times, when it seems I should keep cranking and working harder.

This might be your most important post. You describe how we all need playful activity to truly rejuvenate - my choices are pastel drawing, hiking, cooking, and fantasy football. Working all the time is just boring - deep play makes us interesting. And your description of gaming as a form of deep play made me finally understand my husband's passion for video games!
