Getting Right with Tao

How much Tao is there? More than you’ll ever need.

Ron Hogan’s interpretation of the Tao Te Ching has been my favorite ever since I first heard it about ten years ago. I reached out to him last summer about doing an audio version to distribute for free, and he graciously gave his blessing for me to go ahead and do so. I recorded it months ago, sent it to some test listeners, and promptly got sidetracked by other projects, as one does.

Keep your head calm. Stay clear. Watch as everything happens around you.

One afternoon a couple weeks ago, I circled back to the Tao Te Ching and spent a few hours smoothing out the recording. I’m pretty happy with the result, and, if you’ve found yourself here, I hope you are too!

When Ron responded to my message, he mentioned to me that his friend Emma Clarke has also done an audio performance of his text— check it out here if you’re so inclined!
