Music (The Angels Fly Because They Take Themselves Lightly) - Akira the Don, Alan Watts

Is a kind of non-purposive thing

Because you don’t

Either play music

To reach

A destination

Nor do you dance

To reach a particular place on the floor

It is the doing of it itself that is important

Music

It is the doing of it itself that is important

Music

It is the doing of it itself that is important

Music

It is the doing of it itself that is important

Music

It is the doing of it itself that is important

Because after all

If the object of music were to gain a certain destination

Those orchestras that play fastest would be considered the best

The best

Dancing and music

More than other arts

Represent the nature of this world

The nature of this world

That it is playful

That it is sport

That it is maybe sincere

But is definitely not serious

And as GK Chesterton put it once

«The Angels fly because they take themselves lightly.»

Music

It is the doing of it itself that is important

Music

It is the doing of it itself that is important

Music

It is the doing of it itself that is important

Music

It is the doing of it itself that is important

The angels fly because they take themselves lightly

The angels fly because they take themselves lightly

The angels fly because they take themselves lightly
