Description

The Tao Te Ching, written by Lao Tzu, is the seminal text of Chinese Taoism, and its origins can be traced back to the late fourth or early third centuries BCE.
Thousands of translations and interpretations of the Tao Te Ching have been undertaken over time. Each of these has striven to accurately reflect the intended meaning behind the frequently ambiguous, occasionally rhymed and often obscure philosophical poetry of the original text.
This interpretation, by David Burke, has been made in the context of a broader spiritual framework. David, a theologian and teacher, has spent many years of doctoral research examining the underlying philosophical and theological themes shared by Islam and Christianity. His interpretation suggests that these key themes are also reflected in the philosophy espoused by the Tao Te Ching.
With its focus on simplicity, love, surrender and humility, David Burke's interpretation of the Tao Te Ching has touched many who are searching for a greater understanding of the universe and their own place in it.

T'was the Night Before Christmas... 

 (With apologies to Clement Clarke Moore, may he forgive my doggerel...)

...and all through the shop,
all we minions were working,
   until ready to drop.

The ebooks were flying,
the covers were spare,
The edits were crazy,
   with "one more thing I must share!"

We waited for Santa,
'Cuz we love old Saint Nick,
But Hitch made us work,
   Waving 'round an old stick!

So slave we all did,
And made all your books,
So that Hitch would say now,
   that we're off the hook.

Come today we're off,
to rest up our fingers,
Our hats we will doff,
   No books they do linger.

But we'll all be back,
Don't give it a thought,
for like all wage slaves,
   we're easily bought.

We'll be back on the fifth,
all eager and fresh,
All ready for you,
   after a well-deserved rest.

So Hitch wants to say,
very strongly and loud,
THANKS ALL YOU GUYS,
  you're the best type of crowd.

Indy and Len and Hitch and the gang,
will be back on the 5th,
to do books with a BANG!

In the meantime don't worry,
if you're in a hurry,
'cuz some poor guy got stuck
   sitting here like a duck.

Your emails we'll receive,
so no need to grieve.
We'll be a bit slow,
but we're raring to go.

Your books will be worked on,
your edits still made,
we're just resting a bit,
   before we all fade.

So please excuse the delays;
It won't be for days;
we'll jump on your queries,
   for your wondrous new series.

We waited for Santa,
'Cuz we love old St. Nick,
And sure 'nuff he came,
   It wasn't a trick.

And as he rode off,
into the night,
I could swear I heard Hitch yell,
   "That Edit's Not Right!"

~~~~~~~~~~

We'll be back on the morning of January 5th; we'll be here parttime between now and then, thanks.
