…like music for its own sake

“Life is like music for its own sake. We are living in an eternal now, and when we listen to music we are not listening to the past, we are not listening to the future, we are listening to an expanded present.”

I was reminded of Alan Watts’ wisdom today. His books are abundant with quotable paragraphs, even pages. Whenever I get tangled in the everyday, he’s one of those minds I turn to. Never fails.
