The more I read, the more I realized I had experienced the living spirit of \u003cem\u003eTao Te Ching\u003c\/em\u003e many times, through an enduring relationship with Nature, that began when I was a child playing in the snow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese poems are not a translation of \u003cem\u003eTao Te Ching\u003c\/em\u003e. Rather, they express my experiences, interpretations and impressions of the eighty-one verses.

I invite you to reflect on your own life by the \u003cem\u003eattribute\u003c\/em\u003e of each verse that is presented in this collection. Feel free to journal or sketch your experiences or visions. Go ahead, engage \u003cem\u003eTao\u003c\/em\u003e and tell your story on the blank journal pages adjacent to my poems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy soul is forever grateful for the texts and experiences that inspired this book.
