in every moment

.

No one imagines that a symphony 

is supposed to improve in quality

 as it goes along or that the whole

 object of playing it is to reach

 the finale. The point of music

 is discovered in every moment

 of playing and listening to it. 

 

It is the same I feel with the 

greater part of our lives 

and if we are unduly absorbed

 in improving them we may forget

 altogether to live them.





~ Alan Watts
