THE TAO OF FOOL'S DIARY

Description

A Fool. A diary. 365 days. And a universe that refuses to behave itself.

Meet the Fool.

She has questions. The universe has other plans.

Armed with a cup of tea, an unreliable collection of certainties, and a magnificent talent for getting lost in the obvious, she sets off through an ordinary year.

Except that nothing remains particularly ordinary for long.

Thoughts become characters. Certainties develop cracks. The ridiculous wanders into the sacred. And somewhere between yesterday's regrets and tomorrow's anxieties, the Fool keeps stumbling into the extraordinary business of being alive.

THE TAO OF FOOL'S DIARY is an absurd spiritual novel told through 365 diary entries — mischievous, tender, gloriously unpredictable, and full of unexpected encounters with the mysteries of everyday life.

Tao and Zen drift through its pages, not as lessons to be learned, but as fellow travellers in the Fool's gloriously untidy adventure.

There is no perfect hero here. No grand plan. No promise of enlightenment.

Just a Fool, a year, and life happening.

Come as you are. Being human is quite sufficient.

About the Author

Satee Bhave Hall is a writer who has spent much of her life exploring Tao, Zen, ecoliteracy, cybernetics, epistemology and systems theory.

These explorations have led her to what she calls The Fool Method.

And who is the Fool?

The Fool is a state of cognitive humility. A willingness to remember that the map is not the territory, that what we think we know about the world is not quite the world itself.

There is something childlike about the Fool's way of seeing. A readiness to question familiar assumptions, step outside the cultural and psychological traps of our thinking, and rediscover our participation in the living patterns of nature.

The Fool approaches the world not as something to be controlled, but as something to be encountered, played with, and lived alongside.

It is this spirit that runs through Satee's books. Through stories, theatre, humour and ordinary everyday adventures, they explore the curious habits of the human “I” and its place in the larger ecology of life.
