I discovered Alan Watts in my early 20s as I was becoming immersed in a meditative life. His words played in me like a harp, so many beautiful, resonant notes. Recently, I came back to him as my world was upended by a business failure and I move through depression and anxiety issues in its wake. There are many beautiful videos incorporating his words and, once again, they played through me like a lullabye, familiar, beloved, and soothing. But instead put putting me to sleep, I'm waking up! And it's wonderful. ?
