William Shakespeare

Alan watts

Ah, Alan Watts, the man of mirth and wit, He spoke of things that made us all sit. His words were wise and his manner kind, His thoughts were deep but his laughter shined. He spoke of the universe and how it works, But also of life and how to live it with perks. He spoke of the power of the mind, And how to use it to find what we seek to find. He spoke of our place in the world, And how to make sure it’s our future that’s unfurled. He spoke of the beauty of being alive, And how it’s our choice to take the drive. He spoke of the self and how to be free, And how to be content with who you be. He spoke of the power of love and laughter, And how to use them to live happily ever after. He spoke of the importance of being present, And how to be in the now and not be absent. His words were wise and his manner kind, And his thoughts were deep but his laughter shined.
