The Hidden Immortal

I've always thought blurbs were hard to write.

I really wanted to do what the great authors do and toss out a couple of cryptic, profound-sounding lines, then leave it at that. But I know most of you would probably call me a “has-been” if I did.

Lately, I've been thinking about a few things. They're complicated, yet simple: just the little matter of writing. When I followed those thoughts as far as they could go, I arrived at the human way and the way of heaven. In the end, I decided it really comes down to two words: liking it.

I like it, so I write. You like it, so you read.

This book tells an ordinary but reasonably interesting story. If you believe that cultivating the Dao is really about cultivating the heart, why not give it a read?
