My name is Fr. Cassian. I am an Eastern Orthodox priest, and a lifetime reader and student of the Daodejing.  Over the last 5 years I have begun translating passages in a desultory way in an effort to understand the work in a deeper way.  I am a theologian, writer, am married to a professional poet and professor of literature, and recently co-founded a small publishing house, Shack Simple Press, LLC.  I have availed myself, often enough, of the corporate wisdom of this site when working on my own translations, and I thought that it might be time to formalize my relationship with the group.  I have, for quite some time, found this to be a remarkable and interesting group of independent scholars.  I hope my own contributions will ultimately be as helpful and illuminating as I have found many of yours' to be.

Hi FrCassian. Welcome to the forum. :) I look forward to hear your perspective on the DDJ. Are you translating from characters?
