Recently I read this transcript of an Alan Watts lecture titled The Spectrum of Love. I was thinking about it while making breakfast this morning, with it being Valentines Day and all. So I thought I’d put one of my favorite parts of it here. For You.
“… it's crazy. Falling. You see? We don't say "rising into love." There is in it the idea of the fall. And it goes back, as a matter of fact, to extremely fundamental things. That there is always a curious tie at some point between the fall and the creation. Taking this ghastly risk is the condition of there being life. You see, for all life is an act of faith an act of gamble. The moment you take a step, you do so on an act of faith because you don't really know that the floor's not going to give under your feet. The moment you take a journey, what an act of faith. The moment that you enter into any kind of human undertaking in relationship, what an act of faith. See, you've given yourself up. But this is the most powerfull thing that can be done. Surrender.”
I hope your day is full of faith and ultimately, surrender.
Day 36: Avocado mousse, tofu, sweet potato. Not bad.
