The artist seeks the challenge, the difficult thing to do; for his basic approach to life is not of work but of play. ... "Life as an art and art as a game - as action for its own sake, without thought of gain or loss, praise or blame - is the key, then to the turning of life itself into a yoga, and art into the means to such a life." Myths To Live By Joseph Campbell Does he mean life is like a yoyo - it has its ups and downs? tink [OWC: compare life with other toys - frisbee, surfboard, whatever - in a humorous way (I would say ironic, but I can't quite pin it down:-)]
