"Attuned play resembles musical improvisation, in which both partners follow a structure or pattern that both partners simultaneously create and surrender to, a structure enhanced by our capacity to receive and transmit at the same time in nonverbal interaction. . . . To the question, 'who created this pattern, you or I?,' the paradoxical answer is 'Both and neither.'"
--Jessica Benjamin
