Tao

I finished up reading this translation of the Tao Te Ching yesterday. This version was translated by Ralph Alan Dale. Often attributed to Laozi (Lao Tzu) in the 6th century BCE, scholars now believe many of the sayings go back as far as the 3rd century BCE. Eighty-one sections, I usually read one a day during lunch during the school year. Very calming during stormy days. I'll start up a different translation of the Tao tomorrow.
