A visual retelling of the classic Book of the Way - The Tao Te Ching. Told though the eyes of a contemporary Tai Chi wanderer, carrying muddy boots, a warm flask, and the quiet knowing that nothing lasts.

No jargon. No judgement. Just breath, stillness, and the gentle art of letting go.

***** "This version is grounded, clear, and refreshingly modern. The language flows like Tai Chi—simple, balanced, and unforced. It doesn’t try to impress, just to be. If you practice Tai Chi or lean toward the Taoist path, this version feels like it was made for you."

What is the Tao? Have you noticed how slippery a bar of soap is in the shower? That’s what the Tao is like—the harder you grasp, the faster it slips away.

Where is the Tao? The Tao isn’t hidden in mountaintops or grand ideas. It’s in the creak of a floorboard, the weight of your breath, the pause between thoughts.

This book doesn’t chase the Tao. It leans towards it—with simple metaphors, soft illustrations, and everyday moments where the elusive often rests.

Applying the Tao: Reading and doing are different skills. So the pages draw on Tai Chi—where philosophy moves, roots, balances, and breathes.

Nothing to Do, Nowhere to Go is a quiet celebration of living lightly, listening deeply, and standing still—especially when everyone else is shouting.

Less a guidebook, more a refuge. A 21st-century reimagining of the Tao Te Ching, drawn in soft lines and vanishing steps.

***** I’ve been waiting with bated breath. Ever since Paul announced this I have been waiting patiently. I am not disappointed.
