I'm a big fan of Alan Watts, but have not listened to his stuff in awhile, until someone sent me one of his shorts yesterday.
In this one, entitled, 'Music and Life', as is the same with Buddhist Philosophy, and God and Love and all the great writers and philosophers I so admire.....Alan Watts makes a great point. Your life is a long symphony and a song that you are supposed to "sing all along the way". Not trudge through to the weekend, or the paycheck or the vacation or the 'right' job or the 'right' relationship or some elusive 'goal'. Note at the end when the little cartoon man gets to the 'finish' sign, the sign bounces back to start and so on and so on. It's not about some sort of finish, so-------------
Be happy TODAY!
xoxox Happy New Year
ps- I'm a big Alan Watts fan. He's clever and witty and what I would call a comedic armchair philosopher. If you like this, you should check out more of his stuff by typing him in Google or the youtube search bar.
About Me
- *TRENNY*
- I'm Trenny and my philosophy is rather simple-I believe there are only 2 forces in this world, Love or Fear. My goal is to try to see things through the eyes of love, but I am fallible and do not always succeed. My professional career at the moment is that of a fashion stylist in New York,but my interests are varied. This blog is the like a blog ‘magazine/newspaper/journal', where I’ve combined all the elements of things that I love to learn through those mediums myself. Some life journaling, lots of music. A little health, natural product talk and recipe sharing. Random musings on life experiences, a little style, art and humour. Environment issues too as nature is our greatest gift. I hope it teaches you something, makes you laugh, or gets you interested in something different. If it fires you up,I welcome learning all different points of view. I hope that what I share, including my mistakes, encourages you. *In the end, I believe we are all each other's teachers, so whatever you might be inspired to say/share with me through this blog- good and bad- I fully welcome it. I learn just as much from you. Happiness and Love xoxo TrennyLynn - trennylynn@gmail.com
