Life,so more complex and beautifully that we think.let's protect our earth,our home.Let's think. Of others,of the future.. of our kids and kid'S kid.Mr Watts was a man ahead of his and our time.

So simple. I really connect with Alan Watts and his approach to life. Context is obviously really important, but the message is easily applied to non-western societies. Life is a dance, no matter where we are and if the music isn't loud enough...then it's our job to turn it up!

Very ....."Western" orientated.
