Alan Watts on Falling In Love Love is a Risk [View all]

Love is not something you do. It is not a matter of effort, or will, or control. It arises — like wind, like waves, like music — when you let go. And the moment you try to possess it, you lose it.

In this talk, we explore the mystery of falling in love, the madness of surrender, and the folly of trying to make love behave. You’ll discover that love is not a task or transaction — it’s the universe moving through you.
