Alan Watts

Alan Watts was instrumental in my recovery, as I've written before. Perhaps he can help someone else. Note all of his other audios at the end of this.

 

A tip o the hat to Ellen too, I hope you are well. I pictured you as a fedora lady.

As I look at Zinn's definition of healing it's the same conclusion I came to. Mine is when you've surrendered to what already is.

 

This reminds me of a story I heard about Byron Katie, author of Loving What Is. She was called in to assist a woman who was in the hospital with serious health problems. When she arrived in the hospital room she saw a women lying in bed with the blanket pulled up to her neck. Katie says "I don't see a problem." The woman very indignantly replied, "I'll show you the problem!", and she pulled the blanket down to reveal that one of her legs was extremely swollen and twice the size of the other leg. Katie says, "Oh, I get it. You think your legs should be the same size."

 

Really good clip, thanks for posting. Makes you think… that you yearn to not think so much.
