This coloring book contains 89 images of white things, printed on white paper. Is one to fill in these images with a white crayon? Or is one to let go of the crayon and practice the Taoist concept of wu-wei (actionless action)? Why color white objects white?
- White is the absence of color which contains all colors.
- It's easy to keep within the lines.
- It helps one to focus on process, not results.
- It fulfills Zen Master Han-Shan's invitation to leap the world's ties and sit among the white clouds.
- It is a rejection of artifice, an unveiling of the void.
- It is an antidote to art theory.
- In Zen terms, the absence of coloring contains all coloring.
