This video which has Alan Watts’ voice opens us up to looking at life through another prism. Not as a journey, but more as a playful happening, with no end result or end goal. There is no necessity for life and neither is it going anywhere. “Playfulness” is the key concept he speaks of. Life is best understood via the analogy of music according to Alan; since music essentially as an artform is playful. Being a musician since I was six years old, this has been my intuitive understanding since childhood. Playfulness and joy are the two pillars life needs to be constructed around and slowly a deep interiorisation of the process begins through consistency and practice, which eventually results in constant joy.
