It’s Wednesday 19th November and 40 years ago today I tore my way into this world. I’m reminded of a talk or lecture given by Alan Watts in which he says ‘imagine going to sleep and never waking up, that’s death, but imagine waking up having never gone to sleep. That’s when you were born.’ That’s something to think about isnt it, waking up having never gone to sleep? What of death? Do we just go? Do we go to sleep and never wake up? Or do we just leave our bodies and enter a new one, do we wake up having never gone to sleep as it were? Lots to ponder on.
