You have got me walking up and down all day under those trees, saying to me over and over again, "Solitude, solitude." And You have turned around and thrown the world in my lap. You have told me, "Leave all things and follow me," and then You have tied half of New York to my foot like a ball and chain. You have got me kneeling behind that pillar with my mind making a noise like a bank. Is that contemplation?
(Thomas Merton)
@ojars #YraAlaus or #YraAlus would make sense, but probably #TuriuAlaus (closer to #GotBeer) is a bit more natural.
Let me explain again what we’re doing. We are going behind with names, numbers, beliefs and ideas, to get back to the naked experience of reality itself. And that this level of awareness, we find no difference between the listener the sound, the knower and the known, the subject and the object. Between the past, the present, and future. All that’s just talk. What is really happening is.
(Alan Watts)
“So that the Earth does not revolve about the sun in a sedately circular orbit, but in an elliptical orbit.”
— Alan Watts, Hidden Belief Systems lecture (c. 1970s)
Watts drops this line while illustrating what he calls “flip-floppability”: the universe’s creative tension comes from a built-in wobble—just enough imbalance to keep everything lively.
