Wrapped in Piano Strings - Radical Face
Wrapped in Piano Strings by Radical Face from the album “Ghost”.
"Everybody should do in their lifetime, sometime, two things. One, is to consider death. To observe skulls and skeletons and to wonder what it will be like to go to sleep and never wake up. Ever. That is the most… is a very gloomy thing of contemplation, but it’s like manure. Just as manure fertilizes the plant and so on. So, the contemplation of death and the acceptance of death is very highly generative for creating life; you get wonderful things out of that."
- Alan Watts (via itsladygrey)
"Let’s suppose that you were able every night to dream any dream that you wanted to dream, and that you could, for example, have the power within one night to dream 75 years of dreams, or any length of time you wanted to have. And you would, naturally as you began on this adventure of dreams, you would fufill all your wishes. You would have every kind of pleasure you could concieve. And after several nights, of 75 years of total pleasure each, you would say “Well, that was pretty great. But now let’s have a surprise. Let’s have a dream which isn’t under control. Where something is gonna happen to me that I don’t know what it’s gonna be.” And you would dig that and come out of that and say “Wow, that was a close shave, wasn’t it?”. And then you would get more and more adventurous, and you would make further and further out gambles as to what you would dream. And finally, you would dream where you are now. You would dream the dream of living the life that you are actually living today."
