Search - 365 Tao : Daily Meditations

I picked this book up in a little second-hand shop for a bit of nothing, and promptly fell in love. It stayed on my desk in a place of honor. One can open the book to any page and find a a quick moment of calm in a fast-paced world.

From Amazon:

This treasury of life�"enhancing daily readings turns a wise Taoist light on every facet of life. Each daily entry with a one�"word title and its Chinese character in elegant calligraphy.

A brief, poetic aphorism provides the theme, followed by a clear, insightful mediation on the day's Taoist principle.

I loved the layout and the voice of the writing as well as the daily meditation guides.

I've been reading this gem daily for several years, following the recommended date-dependent schedule that ties the meditations to the seasons. Each year I find something new to savor and contemplate. Each year I have new personal insights.
