What is InterPlay to me?

Phil Porter, one of the co-founders of InterPlay, asked for personal reflections on what InterPlay has meant to us. This is my response with bows to all the original crafters of these phrases. If you just want the one word answer, it is FOOD.

What is InterPlay to me?

This is not rocket science.
Although even that seems like it could be easy now.

This is not therapy.
It is therapeutic.

This is not your father’s Oldsmobile.
It’s a custom, tangerine Maserati with funky flower upholstery, purple tinted windows, and the exhaust has the scent of a baby.

This is not what you signed up for.
It is what God intended for you, so live it up!

This is not the Taj Mahal.
Oh! Wait! Maybe it is! My body? Yes! My body IS the Taj Mahal!

This is not the end of the story.
This is the whole big ball-o-wax with popcorn, streamers, ranting, giggles
and big sighs.

No minors are allowed.
No. There are no minors here. We are all MAJOR. MAJOR livers of life!

Livers with onions? If you want…
Livers with Spirit? Absolutely.

Show up. HAVE it. BE it. DO it.
Come out of hiding!
Be who you are.

I sayyyyyed, “BE”
“WHO”
“YOU”
“ARE”

Wow. What a ride.

Living it every which way I can,

Rosemary Senjem
