Balancing between family life and finding time for oneself is a major challenge, especially when you have a 10 month old boy (not to mention the nagging girlfriend) demanding attention at every inopportune moment.  But as I mentioned in an email to a friend yesterday, there comes a time when…

“…every man needs to be alone with his thoughts once in a while.”

This then reminded me of a video of a man who was alone in the wilderness, and who expressed his thoughts about his surroundings and life in general in conversation with himself.

The man in question was the late British philosopher, writer and speaker, Alan Watts (1915-1973).
