So I don't know why I didn't put this on our blog a few weeks ago, but it is the video of our class midterm. It is a memorized choral recitation of King Benjamin's speech from the Book of Mormon. I won't say much about it, we'll let the words speak for themselves.
"Once upon a time, I, Chuang Chou, dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was Chou. Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man." -- Zhuangzi
