The basic concept of Metamorphic Tao (MT), echoed in the tag line "A Journal of Our Changing Perceptions of Reality", originated more than thirty years ago. It was still the era of paper and ink, and my original vision was a magazine printed on recycled paper with vegetable based ink. I even had a printing press in mind, a used Multilith 1250 offset printing press like the ones I used in the Army.

But I was newly wed, and newly starting a software consulting business, and the magazine dream was set aside.
