Taoist Poetry - The book is out now!


I am very happy to share with you that I made my printed debut as an illustrator!

Heath (my man) wrote on his website:

Hi!  Here is my new poetry book with over 200 poems and some lovely illustrations from my partner Laura.  There is a link to a video below where I read from the book and discuss some of the poems here.  There are links to Amazon for paperback and kindle variations (it is printed on plantation stock, therefore the tree used to make the book has been replaced by another).

Paperback version: click HERE
Kindle version: click HERE

The Kindle-version is also available in Euro's on for example the German and Dutch Amazon.
I will edit this post when the paperback will be available in Euro's too.


Here you can watch Heath read some of his Taoist Poems:



If you can and want, please support our work so we can go on with it, share, comment, love and like..
We try to work from home and over time live from all the things we do.

Thank you.

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.
