Alan Watts – Love of Waters

“Do you mind if I talk for a while about something I love? About water and the ocean. Ever since I can remember anything at all — the light, the smell, the sound and motion of the sea — has been pure magic…” ~ Alan Watts.

 

Alan Wilson Watts was a British philosopher, writer, and speaker, best known as an interpreter and populariser of Eastern philosophy for a Western audience. Born in England in 1915, Alan was an Episcopalian priest who became the spokesperson for Eastern religions during the late 1950s and tumultuous 60s. His first book, The Spirit of Zen, however, was written in the 30s when Watts was just 20 years old. He went on to write more than twenty other books. He died in 1973.
