beyondillusion Posted May 4, 2010 Hello and Greetings to you ALL! I am Lenny from Liverpool, England. I am fairly new to Tao, my knowledge is meagre, however I am eager to learn; I have been drawn here for a reason. I would appreciate any advice as to what books to read and videos to watch, I love reading! I look forward to my time here, I've had a brief look around and like what I see! Namaste Lenny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted May 4, 2010 Hi Lenny, Welcome! May you enjoy your time here. As always, I recommend reading Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu for the basics of Taoism. These can be found here on-line: http://terebess.hu/english/lexikon/c.html After that you can go in any direction that calls out to you. Peace & Love!

beyondillusion Posted May 5, 2010 Hello Lenny - welcome - any interest in haikus? aah! haikus! to be honest I've probably only written about two! mostly my work is free verse, rhyme also and the occasional prose. my favorite poet is Leonard Cohen, whom I have been a fan of for some 38 yrs!

beyondillusion Posted May 5, 2010 Good choice, in my opinion. I have most of his earlier recordings. Peace & Love! I was fortunate to Lenny live in concert in 2008 & 2009, I had given up on Lenny touring so when he announced he was back on the road I was overjoyed! When LC did come over here in the UK in the 70's & 80's I was on tour with my own band! I have all his records and books and my wife Nikki has done a charcoal portrait and abstract of the great wordsmith! Plus she has spoilt me with further LC based gifts that are really special! Great to meet another fan of LC's!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
