Something To Ponder: Reflections from Lao Tzu’s Tao Te Ching
“Something to Ponder, reflections from Lao Tzu’s Tao Te Ching,” brings to people of today the timeless wisdom of the ancient Chinese sage.
The elegant language is simple, at times sparse and is meant to be read aloud. It provides a perfect vehicle for Lao Tzu’s profound wisdom.
Spacious layout, use of the author’s photographs and overall design set “Something To Ponder,” apart. The wisdom of Lao Tzu emerges as beautiful contemporary poetry. Truth is something we recognize despite our beliefs and reading Lao Tzu it is easy to find oneself saying quietly, “Of course, I knew this all along!” Elegant, beautiful, profound!
Perfect yet mysteriously formed
It existed before time ever was
It is the silent void
Eternally present
Solitary and unchanging
It is the Great Mother of the universe
And, for want of a better word
We call it the Tao
Lao Tzu
