I've been reading several books by Alan Watts and will be offering more of him when I have time to get into my winter writing mode. But I wanted to share one of his takes on life.

"Life, like getting an erection, is a spontaneous process which collapses when one tries to force it to happen."

Is it O.K. to say that in public? Well, I thought it was cute (and true).
