It doesn’t happen very often that here in The Netherlands, the winters are cold enough to go iceskating on natural ice. But NOW it is and it makes me very happy to go out and try. So my play of today was Movement Play on ice.
Another thing happened. When I’m on iceskates like this on natural ice, it makes me feel very Dutch. Same thing that happens when I’m on a bicycle (I always rent one if I can, when I’m travelling). So my question to you is, when do you feel most…[your nationality]? What are you doing then?
By the way. I usually see people as Earthlings, sharing more in common than being diverse. But there are these little instances that we feel more closely connected to our heritage, to the country we were born in.
Have a playful day!
