The Rhyming Tao Te Ching (Great book rendered in rhyme 1)

The Tao Te Ching is a book like Sun Tzu's The Art of War, that you can get some new awareness out of every day. In my Tai Chi classes, instructors would read from the Tao Te Ching, in English translations that had no meter, or rhyme. The slightly meditative state we were in was perfect for rhyme. Only after WW II did books become cheap, in the USA. Traditionally, people used trained memories to retain information, often in rhyme. 30 days hath September.... is something used in schools even today. Rhyme goes to a deeper part of the mind than prose, just as song lyrics do. This is an elegant book to read, in a park, in nature, or in a community celebration.
