Synopsis
"There are many translations of this book; all are different and all are the same. None are accurate and none are false. Ancient Chinese writing was not limited by the desire for preciseness. It more resembled a series of pictures. The people who would learn the message must swim in the characters and in the spaces around them. What is not written is equal in importance to what is written. Nothing can be seen by examining a page of the book unless at the same moment you examine your own heart."
The Tao is universal. Its words "are to hung like bells in our hearts and rung by the motions we make as we move through our daily lives." Here Tolbert McCarroll presents it in a unique version. For the contemporary audience, he offers concepts that make a bridge from the Tao to the Western mystics, and his language includes both male and female experience.

About the Author
Tolbert McCarroll, better known as Brother Toby, has lived by Meister Eckhart's adage that what a person acquires by contemplation should be spent in compassion. He is a highly respected spiritual guide for people on many paths and journeys. An award-winning author of 10 books, including, A Winter Walk, Notes from the Song of Life, and Childsong, Monksong, Brother Toby is a founding member of Starcross Monastic Community. A former attorney for humanitarian causes, he has for 50 years, ventured forth in response to children and others in need. As his long-time colleague Sister Marti puts it, "He is an old lion now -- but he is still a lion!" The adoptive father of several children, he has established homes for children oppressed by the AIDS pandemic in California, Romania and Uganda. At Starcross he writes daily. In recent years he has had a special concern for the spiritually wounded and those disappointed by their faith communities. At 80 he is increasingly looking for God in the ordinary moments of life. Despite occasional medical challenges, he takes great delight in his children, nature, a cup of tea, music, his greenhouse, the olive groves, and his cats -- stately Cyrano and feisty Tigger, who are his constant companions.
