Avoiding the Dreadful Hoax

December 7, 2012 by Tricia Rose Burt

An enchanting and poignant video has been making the internet rounds and for good reason — it’s a wonderful message about how best to live our lives.

Alan Watts
Matt Stone/Trey Parker creation

The video’s from the recordings of Alan Watts, a British born philosopher, writer, speaker, and former Episcopal priest, who interpreted and popularized Eastern philosophy for a Western audience. It’s produced by Trey Parker and Matt Stone of South Park and Book of Mormon fame, who show their softer side in this creative effort. The animation though is clearly recognizable.

This piece especially resonated with me as it underscores the theme in my upcoming memoir “How to Draw a Nekkid Man.” Last week, I received some great press about the book and my fundraising campaign for my sabbatical:

  • The Keene Sentinel
  • The Ledger Transcript

If it works for you at this time, I’d love your help in writing the book. Please make your tax deductible donation here. The perks are GREAT! Now, enjoy the video!
