“Bio” given at signup:
Taoist understanding has been a part of me since long before I knew its names.
Learning of it has been like learning the semantics of my mother tongue, or the physics of a game I enjoyed with friends since before I can remember.
Witter Bynner's Tao Te Ching translation was my constant companion for thirty years, then I found Jonathan Star's character by character translation resource. Hoo boy, did that unlock a few things for me!
