According to the Marin Independent Journal, Alan Watts's son, Mark, is working on an animated biography of his well-known father. Here's a teaser entitled "Music and Life" to give a feel for the project:
Please note, the animators for this particular segment: Parker and Stone, of South Park and, now, Book of Morman fame. The Marin article, above, explains their involvement in the project and what the film, entitled "Why Not Now," will be comprised of.
Oh, happy day, indeed! Why not now? How about a little nothing? Here you go.
nothing at all
but a calm heart

Looks pretty good. I'm not terribly knowledgable about Watts, I fear.
Charles I highly recommend his book entitled: "The Book."
try and before The Book, 1966
do "try" (his) The way of Zen
from The Book we have the book's sub title: "On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are"
and via The Way of Zen we are given:
"Those show know do not speak
"Those who speak do not know"
et ceteras

then the poet/artist spends all of his time
'writing down these bones !

Ah, yes, Kokkie-san ... good advice to you, Charles, and all - The Way of Zen is a classic Watts title.
