Over the course of the next several months we’ll create a physical, hardcopy book or poetry diary out of the following two PDFs:

The Tao Te Ching Journal: A Path To Inner Quiet

Zen Mountain Journal blends Taoist hermit poetry, contemplative art, and reflections drawn from a lifetime shaped by wilderness, solitude, and decades doing creative work on the outer boundaries of our culture. These journals are companions for seekers — guides in the reconnection with inner quiet, beauty, and the “soundless music” of a life lived with simplicity and meaning.

• Size: 9.25 × 8.5 inches — convenient size for desk or lap.

• Hardcover — the book can be written in without a table or desk.

• Double wire-o bound to lay flat.

• Printed on Mohawk Superfine, a premium uncoated paper for a beautiful writing surface.

• 160 pages.
