“I asked the boy beneath the pines.
He said, “the master’s gone alone
Herb (gathering) somewhere on the mount,
Cloud-hidden, whereabouts unknown.”

"When a cat falls out of a tree, it lets go of itself. The cat becomes completely relaxed, and lands lightly on the ground. But if a cat were about to fall out of a tree and suddenly make up its mind that it didn't want to fall, it would become tense and rigid, and would be just a bag of broken bones upon landing. In the same way, it is the philosophy of the Tao that we are all falling off a tree, at every moment of our lives. As a matter of fact, the moment we were born we were kicked off a precipice and we are falling, and there is nothing that can stop it. So instead of living in a state of chronic tension, and clinging to all sorts of things that are actually falling with us because the whole world is impermanent, be like a cat." from Alan Watts, What is Tao?

A peaceful forest scene with tall trees and sunlight streaming through the leaves, illuminating a path on the forest floor. Centered on a light overlay is the quote: “To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don’t grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float. In the midst of insecurity, there is a sanctuary.” — Alan Watts. Bottom left shows the Humanism Church logo, and bottom right reads “humanism.church”.
We can and must find sanctuary in the midst of our daily lives, or we will surely drown in them. Instead of fighting the waters for survival, we can rise above and live. #Humanism #Philosophy #AlanWatts #HumanismChurch

My inner #AlanWatts tells me: the most impossible problems to solve are those that don’t exist. So don’t work so hard at it. If you’re going to dance, stop worrying about looking silly. Enjoy it. Make up your own steps. Design your own costumes. Stop pretending it’s so damned serious all the time.

You can’t transform yourself. And yet it’s absolutely necessary. If we are going to hand over the direction of nature to nature, which is what it comes to.

Part #philpkfick, part #dorothyparker, part #alanwatts, and part #voltaire. That’s what I see most days both in the mirror and out the window. Online, it varies, depending on the weather and the whether. Usually they’re drinking with #henrymiller, and he’s not buying. LOL.

Bazen en iyi çözüm hiçbir şey yapmamaktır.
Zihin de su gibidir; karıştırmayı bıraktığında kendi kendine berraklaşır.

To paraphrase #AlanWatts from birth we're commanded to believe, love, trust, and obey. If we don't do those things, we'll never fit in. And likely go to Hell. These things are required. But if we don't do them unprompted, willingly, and naturally, they're wrong. No wonder we're so fucked.

Evening reflection from Alan Watts: 'You are a process *of* the universe. Don\'t mistake the map for the territory.' Flow with the mystery. What process are you riding tonight? 🌌 #AlanWatts #Philosophy

Alan Watts once said myths are ways of expressing truths that logic alone struggles to capture.
That idea keeps coming back to me when I write fantasy.
Sometimes a dragon or a quest can point toward something that’s very hard to explain directly. 🐲✨

🌆 Evening wind-down from Alan Watts: 'You are a process of the universe.' Don't mistake the map for the territory. Play matters as much as work — the dance is the point. What's your moment of flow today? #AlanWatts #ProcessNotProduct #EveningWisdom 👻

Alan Watts once wrote that myth is a way of expressing truths that logic alone struggles to capture. I suspect that’s why fantasy stories can sometimes communicate philosophical insight better than essays.
