The Book
The Pond gathers a small council of fables — animal characters, mythic settings, ancient form — written first as bedtime stories for a son, then for any man asking what a good life is made of.
Each fable carries one idea. Read together, they describe a single path: knowing yourself, choosing a direction, living by it, and leaving something behind that matters.
A great life begins with knowing oneself, choosing a direction, living with integrity, and creating a legacy that benefits others.
Three Fables
A Sunray asked the Sun, “Father, who am I? I feel separate from everything, touching only a small part of the world.”
The Sun smiled. “You are a part of me, my ray. To know your Self as the Sun, you must first experience yourself as a ray. Each ray is a different experience of all that IS, teaching you something unique. Yet all rays return to their source — me.”
Mosi picked up a pebble and dropped it into the water. “Watch — each pebble is like your thoughts or actions. Though small, they create ripples that affect everything around us.”
Kito wondered, “but how can I control the ripples others make?”
Mosi replied, “you cannot control others’ actions or the ripples they create. But remember, you are not just the pebble — you are also the pond.”
Lao led Wei to a tranquil lake where three dragons emerged from the mist — a white dragon, a black dragon, and a golden dragon. Each caused ripples in the water.
“These are the Dragons of Time,” Lao explained. “The white dragon is the past — a non-binding memory. The black dragon is the present — the place where your attention and choices shape life’s flow. The golden dragon is the future — a realm of infinite possibilities.”
