Taoist Poetry

This year the first Taoist Poetry book, written by my beloved life partner Heath Thompson, will be published by Tandava Press. It is amazing to see the easy and gentle way this little gems of spiritual poetry just come to him. To get the first final selection of poems from all his notebooks into a word-document has taken over a years time. Has to be said though, that a lot happened in that year and it has not only been about poetry..
Now the book 'The Path That Weaves Through Clouds' is in the waiting-line to be edited and we are in happy expectation! I got the honour to make some illustrations to his poetry, that will also be in the book.
A happy spring to all of you, the time of witnessing blossoming!
Here you can see and read a little preview:


Wu Cailuan had no interest
in emptiness or fullness, mirrors
or dust.

Being free from distinctions,
she folded mountains into a fan
and stuffed them up her sleeve.
