from Alan Watts

reminders to me:

--“Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.”

--“If you cannot trust yourself, you cannot even trust your mistrust of yourself - so that without this underlying trust in the whole system of nature you are simply paralyzed”

--“The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.”

--“There is nothing at all that can be talked about adequately, and the whole art of poetry is to say what can't be said.”

--“We do not 'come into' this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree. As the ocean 'waves,' the universe 'peoples.' Every individual is an expression of the whole realm of nature, a unique action of the total universe.”
