Life is intent on finding what works, not what’s right

I find this very liberating. This is where playfulness can enter into our own human relationships in a different way, because the task of the moment, of any moment, is to find something that works, but not be so ego-attached to it that we believe it is the only solution, the only right answer. How many relationships split up because of arguments about who is right? Yet when you look around, you see life tinkering, experimenting, playing, as if to say, “If it works, fine; and if it doesn’t work, let’s see if we can find a way that does work.” For me it’s a different sensibility, and it creates a much greater sense of playfulness in my own work.
