The principal exponent of Taoism is taken to be Lao Tzu, meaning 'old Philosopher'. He was born around 604 BC of a noble family in Honan province. He rejected his hereditary positron as a noble and became a curator of the royal library at Loh. All his life he followed the path of silence- 'The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao', he taught. According to legend, when he was riding off into the desert to die, he was persuaded by a gatekeeper in north-western China to write down his teaching for posterity.

I'll keep Micheal Parkes in mind for my next reading.
And thanks for the offer, I'll keep that in mind also but truthfully, I like being Anonymous for the time being.
I actually like your website as I find it is stimulating some dormat creativity to arise within my conscience. And some of the things you post is agreeable, it is a "cool" site.
Stay true to the blog because as Lao Tzu said,"Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner".
