Completing the trilogy that began with the Parent s Tao Te Ching (praised as pure gold by Hugh Prather) and continued with the Couple s Tao Te Ching ( a singular book, said George Fowler), William Martin now distills and freshly reinterprets the Tao for sages, or those in the second half of life. As Martin writes, sages are the primary keepers and transmitters of wisdom, culture, values, and spirituality. Martin s freeverse interpretation captures the ancient spirit of Lao Tzu s text, yet speaks directly to modern readers. The text is accompanied by a visual interpretation of the Tao in more than 50 original inkbrush drawings. Like the Parent s Tao and Couple s Tao before it, the Sage s Tao has the hallmarks of a classic. You have ceased trying /To tie up all loose ends./You have discovered/That life does not need to be neat/You have more questions than answers,/And this is a great delight to you./You trust the mystery of life/Without having to possess it. from the book
