A work inspired 靈感 by the 道德經 Tao Te Ching, not chapter by chapter or even word by word but rather segment by segment. In other words, arbitrarily dividing each of its 81 chapters up into inspirational segments; each chapter on average consisting of some three, four or more segments. This culminated in a total of 352 segments covering the entire Tao Te Ching. Each segment was then provided with an original question in the form of “I wonder, ...?” For instance, the opening segment is presented as follows and, as do all, includes the original Chinese text: “Where did the idea of Tao come from?” 道可道非常道名可名非常名. Every effort was made to keep the inspirations as succinct as possible in keeping with the design and spirit of the original Chinese text. Intentionally no English or any other translations were consulted. The work it needs to be stated is not in any way meant to be a translation or an interpretation of the Tao Te Ching. Purely it is a work inspired by it in order to help us address some of the pressing problems facing this our own day and beyond.
