9781947504042: The Records of Kosho the Toad

Synopsis

These poems made me smile and appreciate the simplicity and quiet urgency of things just as they are. Like Kosho the toad, I lost myself in the doing and the spirituality of things The Record of Kosho the Toad begins with this inscription by John Daido Loori: Those who accept words are lost; those who linger in phrases are deluded. This lean book of poems has plenty of wit and wisdom to lose yourself in, and plenty of language surprises to make you appreciate Tremmel�s quiet craft. Tom Romano, author of Fearless Writing: Multigenre to Motivate and Inspire.
