Cloud-Hidden, Whereabouts Unknown

These ruminations, assembled in journal form, were written at Watts' retreat in the foothills of Mt Tamalpais, CA. Current themes are discussed, including meditation, nature, established religion, race relations, reincarnation, karma, astrology, tantric yoga & the nature of ecstasy, but the underlying motif is the art of feeling out & following the watercourse way of nature, known in Chinese as the Tao. Watts suggests a way of contemplative meditation in which we temporarily stop naming & classifying all that we experience, & simply feel it as it is.
