The Aimless, Empty Life

To the Taoist mentality, the aimless,
empty life does not suggest anything depressing.
On the contrary, it suggests the freedom of clouds
and mountain streams, wandering nowhere,
of flowers in impenetrable canyons, beauty
for no one to see, and of the ocean surf
forever washing the sand, to no end.

Alan Watts
