A Taoist journaling practice for those who seek to connect with inner worlds,
with the deep silence and peace within.
Zen Mountain Journal is inspired by the ancient poetry of Taoist mountain hermits and Zen monks of old Japan. It is shaped by time alone in wilderness, and by a creative life lived on the fringes of our culture.
Meditation in combination with journaling can help us understand the hidden but profound patterns that shape our lives, often without us knowing it.
Emptiness, stillness, tranquillity, tastelessness,
Silence, non-action: this is the level of heaven and earth.
From the sage’s emptiness, stillness arises;
From stillness, action.
- Zhuangzi, 4th century BCE
I never get lost because I don't know where I'm going.
- Zen master Ikkyū, 15th century Buddhist monk
