word of the day: recreation

Marie Daulne of Zap Mama was on the radio today talking about her new album: Recreation. By definition it means (a) n. Refreshment of one's mind or body after work through activity that amuses or stimulates; play. (b) n. The act of creating anew. When asked which of both the title of her album referred to, she said it was absolutely both. To me it created a union of meanings within one word. How lovely it is to play & enjoy and create something new. The gift is understanding that they can and do both go hand in hand.
