Alan Watts Quote – “The meaning of life is just to be alive…”
The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves. Alan Watts (1915 – 1973)
Alan Watts Quote – “Steadily he approaches the point where what is unknown…”

Alan Watts Quote – “The only thing you need to know to understand the deepest metaphysical secrets…”
