Cloud Appreciation Society

I loved this quote from the beginning of the Cloud Appreciation Society’s Newsletter.

“You have to regard yourself as a cloud because, you see, clouds never make mistakes. Did you ever see a cloud that was misshapen? Did you ever see a badly designed wave? No, they always do the right thing… But if you will treat yourself for a while as a cloud or wave, and realize that you can’t make a mistake whatever you do. Because even if you do something that seems to be totally disastrous it’ll all come out in the wash somehow or other. Then, through this capacity you will develop a kind of confidence, and through confidence you will be able to trust your own intuition.”

From the lecture ‘Way Beyond Seeking’ by Alan Watts (1915-1973).
