“The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.”   —   Alan Watts

“Imagine a multidimensional spider’s web in the early morning covered with dew drops. And every dew drop contains the reflection of all the other dew drops. And, in each reflected dew drop, the reflections of all the other dew drops in that reflection. And so ad infinitum. That is the Buddhist conception of the universe in an image.” –Alan Watts Alan Watts Podcast – Following the Middle Way #3 alanwattspodcast.com. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

(Wise words, Mr. Watts!  But of course, you lived your short life during a period of relative stability.  Not that a lot didn’t go on in your lifetime, because it surely did.  But, today’s pace of change would undoubtedly make your head spin.  Maybe, even explode!  But, if we don’t at least attempt to keep up . . . the whole world will pass us by.  And, nobody wants to be considered irrelevant.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Answer:  RECORD TIME

(A stinker of a pun, if there ever was one!  We actually have a new clue word today, in “vowel”.  ralis95 can add this to his world famous clue word database!  And, all of today’s jumbles appear to be new.  The answer letter layout was nicely cryptic. And, I suppose, it could have stumped some of our younger readers, who have only known CDs and MP3 players and I-Phones.  Great cartoon.  A marvelous 1960s “mod” scene!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
