I have thought of play as being akin to a state of flow that is not result oriented, the focus being on the process itself instead. Your emphasis on positive attitude is spt on, and I would assume that it has something to do with pleasures of being in the flow state. Enjoyment the self experiences in interacting with the world while remaining as a liquid (and not stiff) yet process bound being.
Excellent essay. I enjoyed every bit of it.

Thanks for this food for thought!
