[Thespiritexpress] Allen Watts

[Yasskin Marc]

1968 ~ every Sunday on TV ~ he would walk out to a blackboard in Golden Gate Park explaining/expounding/delighting us.

With his chalk stick ~ writing out his thoughts/ideas so clearly ~ ~~~ never forget it.

His book the Way of Zen ~ was the first spiritual teaching that really made me laugh that Aha! laugh.

 ~ 🙏 🌟
