On Living


    No one imagines that a symphony is supposed to improve in quality
    as it goes along, or that the whole object of playing it is to reach the finale.
    The point of music is discovered in every moment of playing and listening to it.
    It is the same, I feel, with the greater part of our lives,
    and if we are unduly absorbed in improving them
    we may forget altogether to live them.
    -Alan Watts
