Akira the Don and Alan Watts - Oh My God Isn't That Gorgeous

We have specialized
In a certain kind of awareness
That makes us neglectful
You see, we specialize
In
More or less briefly concentrated
Pinpoint attention
We look at this and we look at that
And we select
From all the things we might
Possibly be aware of
Only certain things
And as a result of that
We leave out of our everyday consciousness
One amazing beauty of experience
That we never see at all
And on the other hand
The very deep thing
The sense of our
Basic identity
Unity with
Oneness with
The total process of being
See, because we are staring
As it were
At certain features of the landscape
We don't see the background
And because we get fascinated with
You know I could go into details of this shell
As I said
And put myself in the mind of a
Conch, or whatever it is that lives in this thing
And say
"Hm, that's not so hot, that one"
Like that, see?
And so
I wouldn't see the whole thing
But when I look at it like this
When anybody looks at it like that
We say
"Oh my God, isn't that gorgeous!"

"Oh my God, isn't that gorgeous!"
"Oh my God, isn't that gorgeous!"
"Oh my God, isn't that gorgeous!"
