Book titled ~ The Tao of Mentoring ~ resting on a wooden table beside a large, shallow Raku pottery bowl and a red enameled bowl from China. Small section of a corner of a gold leafed tray is in upper right corner. Even though our Dearest Ones are not here during the holidays, they still share their wisdom through the tagged pages of #books that they read and lived. This one relates the ancient, artful dance of both giving and receiving mentoring from the perspective of the sage kings of China. It is helping me to more gently journey #grief through the season. #OpenCarryBooks with Love always ~
