Why Make Art?
Art is more than an individual pursuit; it is an expression that extends beyond the artist, reaching into the collective human experience. The creative drive within artists resembles an instinctual pull, much like a bird’s migration or a river’s course to the sea—an unstoppable force that moves them to create. This impulse is not solely about personal exploration or the pursuit of recognition but rather an innate urge to communicate something meaningful, a desire to share a distinct perspective that…-

Chapter 2: The How of Pooh?
Chapter 2: The How of Pooh? In this chapter, Hoff introduces Pooh to the concept of Taoism, a philosophy many people are not familiar with. Hoff believes the best way to start understanding Taoism is by exploring its roots in China. To help explain this, Hoff and Pooh imagine themselves walking through a Chinese city, where they encounter a calligraphy shop. The shopkeeper presents them with a painted scroll called "The Vinegar Tasters." This scroll features three figures—Confucius, Buddha, and…-

Point of Reference
In Point of Reference, the chapter explores how our perception of art, music, and creative expression evolves when we encounter something unfamiliar. Often, when we first engage with a new artistic work—especially one that defies convention or deviates from our past experiences—there is an immediate sense of dissonance. This reaction is rooted in the absence of a familiar frame of reference, making the work appear strange or even unappealing. Whether it’s a musician experimenting with unconventional…-

INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION The Smokey Mirror THREE THOUSAND YEARS AGO, THERE WAS A HUMAN just like you and me who lived near a city surrounded by mountains. The human was studying to become a medicine man, to learn the knowledge of his ancestors, but he didn’t completely agree with everything he was learning. In his heart, he felt there must be something more. One day, as he slept in a cave, he dreamed that he saw his own body sleeping. He came out of the cave on the night of a new moon. The sky was clear, and he…-

This intrinsic balance is the foundation of some of humanity’s most revered artistic and architectural marvels, such as the Parthenon’s classical proportions and Beethoven’s…-

Nothing Is Static
The principle of impermanence lies at the core of Nothing Is Static, emphasizing that everything—whether in nature, art, or human experience—is in a constant state of flux. The chapter begins by encouraging an awareness of how even seemingly unchanging environments can feel different depending on the time of day, the shifting light, or the presence of new sounds and scents. A park visited in the morning may offer crisp air and birdsong, while the same space in the evening may feel heavier, carrying the…-

Chapter 3: The Tao of Who?
Chapter 3: The Tao of Who? Pooh shares with Hoff that he has learned about Taoist concepts from his ancestors, like the poet "Li Pooh" and the painter "Pooh Tao-tse." Hoff gently corrects him, noting that the real names are Wu Tao-tse and Li Po. In the Taoist tradition, a central concept is P’u, which means “the Uncarved Block.” Unlike abstract ideas, Taoists prefer to explain such concepts through real-world examples, making them more tangible. P’u represents the natural, unaltered state of…-
