The book "The Way of Water" can rightly be called the swan song of Alan Watts, his spiritual testament to all those who continue to travel through the picturesque expanses between two eternity - eternity to life and eternity after it. It would seem that if the author does not offer us to change this world, what can he say at all - how can he see life in a new way, about which everyone from small to large knows that it is unpredictable, fleeting and does not always please us? And yet the author finds what to say. Known for his many books ("The Way of Zen" and "The Book of Tabu" - only the first swallows in the Russian translation), Alan Watts again fascinates us with a bright manner of presentation, the obviousness and elegance of observations, their extraordinary depth. With inimitable skill, he brings us back to the third, and in fact the only real eternity - in the stream of the present - to where each question answers itself, where there are no problems. A few months before his departure in November 1973, Alan Watts captured this unique, mystical worldview, reimagining the ancient, like the world, philosophy of the Tao. To take a fresh look at life, to return to the origins of the world in the current moment, he says, really do not need to change anything just realize what was said by the Chinese sages thousands of years ago, but true for any place and any time. And although the book "The Way of Water" remained unfinished, the main author managed to say - and this is the main thing now before you, printed in black on white pages.
