Hi Blake. Could you say more about this? The act of play itself, or the act of play between animals who are typically at odds with one another?

surely.

Lila is a beautiful Hindu concept that basically means 'divine play'. its a term used to describe the subtle nuances of life and their innate harmony with nature and their surroundings. You see these instances in everyday life and often miss them; A flock of birds lifting off of a tree, ambient sounds that all of sudden merge into a harmony, butterflies dancing with each other... it can be many different types of expression.

Animals are a perhaps the greatest display of Lila because they are not caught up in the egoistic sense of self. They flow with nature, and nature guides them. Their natural instincts are an expression of the playful nature that embodies life. Its all play, all the time.
