"You and I are all as much continuous with the physical universe as a wave is continuous with the ocean." Alan Watts.

Alan Watts. Truly a man whose writing and lectures can change lives. His body of work is playful and vibrant, carefully and beautifully bringing the philosophies of the east into a western light. If true genius is being able to explain complex ideas in simple terms, Alan achieves this time and time again. Or perhaps he would say the complicated thinking is all our own, and in fact he helps us see the simplicity.

This unique pixel portrait of him is part of a growing collection dedicated to literary figures from across the ages.
