You Play the Piano — by Alan Watts

Post by Welles »

"The existence, the physical universe is basically playful. There is no necessity for it whatsoever. It isn’t going anywhere. That is to say, it doesn’t have some destination that it ought to arrive at. 

But it is best understood by analogy with music, because music, as an art form is essentially playful. We say, “You play the piano.” You don’t work the piano."


Good old Alan Watts! A little hit of AW is like a vitamin for the spirit.
