See • Feel • Tao

See • Feel • Tao is not a book to be read—it is a presence to return to.

This contemplative edition of the Tao Te Ching pairs each of Lao Tzu’s timeless verses with two forms of visual expression:

See the Tao”—quiet, minimalist photography evoking stillness,

Feel the Tao”—expressive, calligraphic ink paintings echoing emotional truth.

Together, they invite the reader into a deeper relationship with the Tao—not through study, but through sensing, seeing, and remembering.

Adapted into poetic modern English from public domain translations, these 81 chapters speak to the part of us that longs for stillness in a world of noise. They offer no doctrine, no demand—only the invitation to return. To lead without force. To act without striving. To remember that softness is strength, and emptiness is full of potential.

This is a book for the seeker, the leader, the creator, and the quietly curious.

It can be read sequentially or opened at random—like water, it flows best when not forced.

Whether you’re new to the Tao or walking an old path back to centre, See • Feel • Tao offers a mirror. Not to tell you who you are, but to reflect what you already carry.
