“We are reassured by what I would call a rusty beer can view of reality. You know, it all comes down to a rusty beer can. That’s real. That’s the sort of thing you see lying on the street and that’s everyday. It’s folksy and terribly reassuring. But on the other hand, I keep coming back to the funny feeling that if existence itself is not basically gorgeous in this way, that it wouldn’t be able to exist.”
— Alan Watts, Net Of Jewels
