The harder we try to catch hold of the moment, to seize a pleasant sensation..., the more elusive it becomes... It is like trying to clutch water in one's hands - the harder one grips, the faster it slips through one's fingers.
Alan WattsThe whole point of Zen is to suspend the rules we have superimposed on things and to see the world as it is
Alan WattsWhat we have to discover is that there is no safety, that seeking is painful, and that when we imagine that we have found it, we donโt like it.
