Alan Watts was such a remarkable educator and philosopher. He had a rare ability to take ideas that could feel incredibly complex or abstract and communicate them in a way that felt simple, human, and immediately relevant to everyday life.
The analogy of life as music rather than a journey toward some final destination has always been one of his most powerful ideas.
Thank you for sharing your perspective on his work and expanding on it so thoughtfully. A great reminder to stay engaged in the process rather than becoming consumed by the scoreboard. Well done.
Alan Watts has been an inspiration on my own journey. Thank you for the reminder and for showing how his wisdom can still be applied to our lives today💜
The biggest thing I learned from Alan Watts is the way we use language tends to bind us to an imagine prison by imagining some 'better' future. But when that future arrives, it'll just be now. There is only this moment.
I don't know why it brought tears to me 😭 but yes it worth to read this article ❤️
Means a lot 🙏
