Produktbeschreibung

In his latest book, winning Taoist author, William Martin, shares with readers his most recent exploration of the classic, "Tao Te Ching," in a daily personal journal. Each entry combines verses from the Tao with his own poetry and prose in an intimate and practical manner. Martin states, "... The Tao Te Ching stands as perhaps the most revolutionary, transforming, and counter-cultural treatise ever written. If you spend a small portion of each day with it, letting it's message gradually seep through your conditioned defenses, you will find your life profoundly changed and your perception of the present social order turned on its head. This book is a record of my own continuing journey day by day with the Tao Te Ching. Each entry begins with a few lines from the Tao Te Ching in my own translation/interpretation, followed by a short piece of my own poetry and a paragraph of prose reflection. I don't represent these entries as "wisdom," but simply as honest reflections on the paradoxes and conundrums of my life, viewed from a Taoist perspective as they unfold day by day. I speak as one who wonders, wanders, and ponders the Mystery of life, which will always be unspeakable, but always available to the direct experience of anyone who pays attention."

Autorenporträt

I have taken a winding road that has led me straight to the present moment. I have, over the years, worn the labels of, "Christian, Buddhist, and Taoist." I have followed careers called, "Scientist, Minister, Therapist, Writer, and Painter."

I have two children by my first marriage. Lara and John are delightful people and bring me much joy. I have three grandchildren, Jillian, Andrew, and Emma - all of whom likewise delight me. I have been married to Nancy for 27 years now and she is the mate of my heart and I cherish my life with her. Nancy and I now live in the mountains of Northern California, near the sacred Mount Shasta. We are deeply grateful to that dear Mountain for allowing us to live at her feet.

I write these words at the age of 72 years and I sense that I am in the most creative, generative, and in many ways, powerful time of my life. I write, publish, paint, drum, dance, walk in the forests, and celebrate my life.
