”Play is behind all intelligences, together with all intelligences, and changes all intelligences. Without the ability to play, the various intelligences will not be developed. And to develop  multi intelligences a meta intelligence is needed to cross over beyond and connect.  Play is this Meta Intelligence, the glue which connects them and yet still remains a free changing agent moving through them and creating new possibilities which eventually become new abilities - new intelligences.”
