Watts explicates on matters Zen without mentioning Zen by name even once. He is impatient with those that depend on authorities to tell them what to think about exalted matters. He manages not to sound silly when writing about being in the moment and the inter-connectedness of, well, everything. If his (for lack of better word) mysticism is not the hard and brutal kind of, say, Edward Abbey, it is at least understandable to people, like me, who get headaches thinking about this kind of thing. Re-readings help.
