Here’s a beautiful 10 min clip about 9-year-old Caine, who one summer built a whole arcade from card-boxes.

An arcade of card-boxes doesn’t hold a candle to even the shabbiest of real-arcade games. Why does that obviously not matter when we respond to Caine’s work?

Because care, passion and ingenuity speak to us no matter on what playing-field they are exercised.
Because we recognize when we see someone working with the joy of building, rather than with their eyes on a pay-off.
Because he takes pride in our joy when we appreciate and play his games. It’s about sharing, kinship and human connection.

Caine’s work is self-expression. It’s applied love.

When we can put that into our work, or have our organizations put that to play, the rest has a good chance of falling into place.
