The basic premise of Taoism is living in accord with the natural flow of life and energy instead of fighting to make things into what they're not. Written some 2,500 years ago, the Tao Te Ching is a classic guide to living in harmony all that is. There are also links to web sites offering on-line collections of various translations on the Links page.

All plants are our brothers and sisters.
They talk to us and if we listen, we can hear them. You may be familiar with herbal healing - ingesting the physical energy of a plant, its leaves and flowers and roots, to regain wellness. These two books introduce us to the shamanic practice of communicating with the spirits of the plants to learn from them about Mother Earth, to heal ourselves in body and spirit. They can provide not only for our physical needs, but also for our heart and soul. They are perfectly willing to bring us into the blessings of their union with nature.
