Continued from Page 10
A tree is a tree, not what a tree can be
made into. Chuang Tu (Wise Man) once
illuminated.
And a Pooh is a Pooh, Pooh once
said. However, is Milne a Taoist? Hoff
never says. He only points out the simi
laiities between the philosophy of Pooh
jnd Taoism. They are remarkable.
Pooh does by not doing. Things come
right in their own course. Piglet may get
excited, heyore may get morose, iigger
will say about anything. Rabbit is cagey.
Owl is a pundit. And all are usually wrong,
but not useless. Their means tend to thwart
their ends. Pooh, the uncarved block, is
somehow usually right, wise, p'u. He
reasons without cleverness and knows
without knowledge. Pooh simply is.
Hoff's book is short and easy reading,
as all good Taoist tracts should be. He
quotes numerous passages by Milne, Lao
Tu and Chuang Tzu, and he intersperses
it with spritely dialogue, as if the Pooh
characters are at his elbow.
But he does Taoism injustice when,
in one part, he implies it condemns science,
technology and commercialism. His preach
ifying is un-Tao, un-Pooh and out of
place. Pooh receives better justice.

Taoists have likened the natural simpli
city, the p'u, of Tao to becoming a child
again. If this is so, Milne is a great Taoist
who has touched many souls. Quoted
Milne, the world of Cottleston Pie,
provides the best reading in Hoffs book.
"When you wake up in the morning,
Pooh, "said Piglet at last, "what 's the first
thing you say to yourself?"
"What's for breakfast," said Pooh.
"What do you say, Piglet?"
" say, I wonder what 's going to happen
exciting today?" said Piglet.
Pooh nodded thoughtfully. "It's the
same thing, "he said.
