To feel that life is meaningless unless โIโ can be permanent is like having fallen desperately in love with an inch.
Alan WattsIf you study the writings of the mystics, you will always find things in them that appear to be paradoxes, as in Zen, particularly.
Alan WattsWhat I am really saying is that you donโt need to do anything, because if you see yourself in the correct way, you are all as much extraordinary phenomenon of nature as trees, clouds, the patterns in running water, the flickering of fire, the arrangement of the stars, and the form of a galaxy. You are all just like that, and there is nothing wrong with you at all.
Alan Watts
