Acknowledgments
How books come to be written is a magical process. Much of that magic comes in the
form of concrete assistance from family, friends, associates, and even strangers. We are
each other’s guardian angels, crossing paths with the people who carry the appropriate
message and offer the timely assistance for the lessons trying to reach us.
Our progress comes from everyone and everything we encounter daily. But, I want to
cite the strategic events and thank the extraordinary people who brought me to this point
on my path.
This book was originally published in 1987 by publisher Al Saunders at Newcastle
Press. When I began writing it in 1985, I was still a practicing architect and bookstore owner.
The mid-80’s was a difficult time in Houston, with the double impact of a crumbling oildominated
economy depriving many people of their livelihood, and the ravages of AIDS
depriving many of their lives.
My days, which had been occupied with business, working toward a vague something in
the future, opened to the immediacy of the problems and pain in my community. Ironically,
my long-time fascination with eastern philosophy, in particular Zen Buddhism and
Taoism, moved from the intellectual realm into the hard pragmatism of everyday life.
