s true I refer to this book all the time, and I m blown away by how deeply these stories sink into my mind over the weeks months I spend thinking through them the themes they address And they never get old It s like a massive collection of zen koans to me they read just like zen koans, anyway just as much to think about, and it s the same I just swallowed a ball of hot iron and If Carnation

book is easily forgotten I read it because it has been touted as one of thepractical Taoist books I could probably excerpt about 5 pages of such but I couldn t find much practical in the book Most of
