Watts at 3:AM

We need, above all things, to slow down and get ourselves to amble through life instead of to rush through it. Alan Watts

Wherever the past is dropped away and safety abandoned, life is renewed. Alan Watts

We get such a kick out of looking forward to pleasures and rushing ahead to meet them that we can’t slow down enough to enjoy them when they come. Alan Watts

As soon as we free ourselves from the mirage of hurrying time, we are alive again, as in childhood, to the ecstasies of ordinary life. Alan Watts

We keep counting time. We have the sensation time is running out, and we bug ourselves with this. Time is nothing but an abstract measure of motion. We are living in an eternal Now. Alan Watts

I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is. Alan Watts

The miracles of technology cause us to live in a hectic, clockwork world that does violence to human biology. Alan Watts

The more a thing tends to be permanent, the more it tends to be lifeless. Alan Watts
