Many words have been written. The poetry of Lao-Tsu has long served as a guide to understanding the \u003cem\u003eTao\u003c\/em\u003e-that underlying reality beyond time and space and matter which we can experience in our lives. Michael Strauss has provocatively, helpfully woven ideas of modern philosophers, scientists, poets with our culture's memes into a free-flowing, meditative, accessible contact with the wisdom and music of Lao-Tsu. A friend reading \u003cem\u003eA Tao for Now\u003c\/em\u003e remarked 'This is good stuff.'
