A monthly eMagazine of quiet reflections, nature encounters, still moments, and timeless paths
I have walked many roads – some paved, some forgotten. I have stood beside windswept cliffs, wandered through quiet groves, and paused beneath the hush of snowfall. In each place, I have listened.
And in each pause, a story comes – not to be captured, but received. I’ve gathered them in a quiet weekly offering called Tales by the Wanderer. And now, for the first time, these reflections take shape in a beautifully crafted eMag: a monthly collection of stories, laid out with care, including two tales found only by those who walk the path with me.
🍃 What This Is
Each edition is a quiet collection of reflections:
moments by the sea, beneath trees, in cities and fields,
where stillness speaks and balance can be felt in the bones.
There are no loud lessons here – only encounters:
with the wind, with a wise old voice,
with a sailing boat disappearing on the horizon.
With what is ancient. With what is here.
Drawn from the rhythms of nature and the wisdom of Tao,
these tales walk beside Taiji,
not as a form to learn,
but as a way of moving through the world
with softness, awareness, and deep breath.
🌕 For the Ones Who Wander Softly
If you are someone who pauses for birdsong,
who feels the shift of seasons in your chest,
who moves through the world with questions rather than answers —
then perhaps these pages will feel like home.
You might be:
- a maker, a listener, a dreamer
- a keeper of still mornings and slow cups of tea
- a practitioner of Taiji or simply one who feels its echo in life
- someone who carries a quiet seeking in their pocket
Whatever path you walk, these stories walk gently beside you.
📖 A Glimpse of What Awaits
In each issue, you’ll find:
- Short seasonal tales and meditations
- Encounters with the everyday sacred
- Reflections rooted in Taoist thought, natural harmony, and inner presence
- A calm and spacious layout for unrushed reading
There are no headlines shouting for your time. Only whispers.
Only pages that breathe.

🌾 A Final Word
I make no promises of wisdom – only offerings from the road.
Stories that arrive in stillness.
Paths that might echo your own.
You are welcome here, friend.
Come, wander with me awhile.
