Hardcover. Condición: As New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. Brief Gift Inscription by Previous Owner. On the surface, Grain of Truth is a brief, simple book in which the author makes objects out of wood ? a hand plane for himself, a marimba for his children, a box to hold the cremated remains of his grandmother-in-law. It's not a how-to book, not a description of technique so much as an exploration of craft as a contemplative and spiritual practice. It shows how one's hands can serve as guides in the unfolding of awareness. The book is organized into eight chapters, based on the essential symbols of ancient Taoism (wind, earth, thunder, deep water, mountain, shallows, fire, and the unfathomable). Each chapter deals with a particular craft project ? its inspiration, the materials it requires, the rewards it offers.
