    Taoism, one of the world's most ancient spiritual traditions, offers profound insights into the nature of existence and the interconnectedness of all life. Originating in China over two thousand years ago, Taoism encompasses a rich tapestry of philosophy, spirituality, and practice that has influenced not only the Chinese culture but also the broader global community. This book aims to explore the essence of Taoism, its core teachings, and its relevance in the modern world. 
    At the heart of Taoism is the concept of the Tao, often translated as "the Way." The Tao represents the fundamental principle that underlies and unites all things in the universe. It is an ever-flowing force that guides the natural order of the cosmos, encouraging individuals to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature. Through the exploration of key texts such as the *Tao Te Ching* and the *Zhuangzi*, readers will gain insights into the profound wisdom of Laozi and Zhuang Zhou, two of Taoism's most revered sages. 
    This book delves into the core beliefs and practices of Taoism, emphasizing its emphasis on simplicity, humility, and compassion. The teachings of Taoism encourage individuals to embrace the spontaneity of life, to cultivate inner peace, and to foster a deep sense of connection with the natural world. By exploring the principles of yin and yang, the significance of Wu Wei (effortless action), and the pursuit of harmony, readers will discover how Taoism offers a pathway to balance and fulfillment. 
    In our contemporary world, characterized by rapid change and constant distraction, the wisdom of Taoism serves as a gentle reminder of the importance of slowing down, reconnecting with nature, and finding tranquility within ourselves.

    Poetry Winner, 2025 International Firebird Book Awards 
    Former poet laureate of Belfast, Maine, Afrofuturist/Oro-shamanic poet and bass clarinetist Toussaint St. Negritude dazzles with this debut collection of poems, featuring an ensemble of cosmic tones the late Pulitzer Prize winning poet Gwendolyn Brooks once called “full of sweet sounds and surprises.” 
    Through the inspiration of life, jazz, and nature, Mountain Spells is about the intrinsic clarity of emancipation, expressing all found intersections of what the author sees and experiences, and how this Black/queer/high-hat-wearing artist envisions the world through the lens of spirituality, the African diaspora, and nature as his home. Each poem, written in Vermont, expresses the whole cosmos of collective liberation.  
    “I listened to the birds, to the sky, what the leaves were telling me,” says St. Negritude, and captured it all in improvisational, freeform, and musical poetry, lovely and changing as the seasons themselves.
