The following are a collection of thoughts taken from an Alan Watts lecture:
We are busy beings getting everywhere, eliminating distance...until the two ends of the journey become the same place.[the whole point was traveling that distance, not eliminating it]
In music one doesn't make the end of the composition, the point of the composition[ yet this is what we do with our lives].
The whole point of the dancing is the dance.
It[ the life we missed while we were so busy getting some place]was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing and dance while the music was being played.
You just had to do that thing-you didn't let it happen.
Man is the animal pecularily aware of time sequence. [And though that awareness helps him to predict for survival reasons, it also increases anxiety because man knows in some part of his mind ...that "it is all going to come a part in the end", anyway]
Existence is musical in nature-not serious-a play of all kinds of patterns- all different beings and things doing their stuff.
Tzu-Jan is the chinese word for nature and it means " that which happens by itself"
Most of Life is a spontaneous process...
[and we need to let it happen by itself]
Hmm! Beautiful words of wisdom.
All is well.
