In this inspired lecture, Alan Watts reflects on presence, time, and the future we keep chasing but never reach. He asks why we spend our lives preparing to live instead of living — and what happens when we finally stop running.
Your life is not waiting for you somewhere in the future.
It is here. It has always been here.
But are you?
Alan Watts on presence, time, and why we miss our lives while chasing them.
