Free Online Texts For Everyone
I feel that language is one of the most important tools for transformation there is. Language transforms us on many levels from connecting us to creating healthy boundaries and reminding us of why we are here and what we are here for.
Many years ago I came upon a group of classical texts that changed my life. They reminded me of my own true path and showed me that the struggles we all face have been studied for centuries all over the world. They also showed me many of the tools that people have used faithfully for centuries to transform their own lives.
Through this section of my site I am offering renditions of these texts and others that I hope will bring you smiles on your path and remind you of your own inner beauty, strength and gifts. Check back often as I will be adding new books in future months.

This holiday classic is fun and meaningful - reminding us of the importance of relationships and that how we treat one another not only affects others, but deeply affects our ability to live a fulfilling life. Each of us is important and deserving of love.
Book 6: Siddartha by Herman Hesse
Siddhartha is an allegorical novel by Hermann Hesse which deals with the spiritual journey of a boy known as Siddhartha from the Indian Subcontinent during the time of the Buddha. The book, Hesse's ninth novel, was written in German, in a simple yet powerful and lyrical style. It was first published in 1922, after Hesse had spent some time in India in the 1910s. It was published in the U.S. in 1951 and became influential during the 1960s. Hesse dedicated Siddhartha to Romain Rolland, "my dear friend". The word Siddhartha is made up of two words in the Sanskrit language, siddha (achieved) + artha (meaning or wealth). The two words together mean "he who has found meaning (of existence)" or "he who has attained his goals".[1] The Buddha's name, before his renunciation, was Prince Siddhartha Gautama. In this book, the Buddha is referred to as "Gotama". From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
