Download or read book The Whimsical Breathing of Clouds Poems on Nature and Aging written by Dave Gigliotti and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-09-06 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book of original poems is probably different from others you may have read. I have a passion for both the literary and visual arts, and have decided to combine the two forms in this piece of work. I find that they work well together, and my intention is that the occasional images will add context and allow a deeper understanding of the poems they are associated with. By writing and sharing a poem, an author opens a window allowing the reader a view into their life and way of thinking. Including a few images in this work is a way for me to open an additional window that offers another vantage point from which to look inside and consider the poems; to see what I saw. Please leave a review of this book, and let me know if you find that the images enhance your reading experience. The natural world has always been a source of wonder and inspiration for me. It has sunk its roots into these pages, and I hope you will sense the flowing of rivers and the changing of seasons as you read through them.

Download or read book Breath written by James Nestor and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-05-26 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Bestseller A Washington Post Notable Nonfiction Book of 2020 Named a Best Book of 2020 by NPR “A fascinating scientific, cultural, spiritual and evolutionary history of the way humans breathe—and how we’ve all been doing it wrong for a long, long time.” —Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Big Magic and Eat Pray Love No matter what you eat, how much you exercise, how skinny or young or wise you are, none of it matters if you’re not breathing properly. There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat twenty-five thousand times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. Journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren’t found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of São Paulo. Nestor tracks down men and women exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo and teams up with pulmonary tinkerers to scientifically test long-held beliefs about how we breathe. Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can jump-start athletic performance; rejuvenate internal organs; halt snoring, asthma, and autoimmune disease; and even straighten scoliotic spines. None of this should be possible, and yet it is. Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head. You will never breathe the same again.

Download or read book Paradox written by Andrew D. Anderson and published by . This book was released on 2006-06 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Milo pays attention to the small details that define important moments: the rattling bones of a dead leaf, the prow of the boat biting into a sandy beach, the lipstick smile, the wet yellow-brown bath towel, the muffled slugging of a heart. When we look with him into these isolated experiences, we sense that like the speaker in each poem, we too are isolated, are spectators even to our own lives, engaging only momentarily with the reality and then stepping back to assess self, setting, and the other.

Download or read book The Sky Grew Back with Clouds written by William Bortz and published by . This book was released on 2018-08-26 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sky Grew Back with Clouds is the first installment of a chapbook poetry series entitled 'make time to breathe today'. This chapbook of poetry, like the series itself, focuses on the relationship we have with nature. How we ingest a stale afternoon or a swelling moon. Accompanying the nature theme is the ebb and flow of wanting; in our longing exists, often, malcontent. This chapbook pokes at that reality, and how when a moment is spared to observe, the wants and longings become so small they hardly exist at all, leaving room for a moment to breathe and do nothing else.
Download or read book Your Atomic Self written by Curt Stager and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do atoms have to do with your life? In Your Atomic Self, scientist Curt Stager reveals how they connect you to some of the most amazing things in the universe. You will follow your oxygen atoms through fire and water and from forests to your fingernails. Hydrogen atoms will wriggle into your hair and betray where you live and what you have been drinking. The carbon in your breath will become tree trunks, and the sodium in your tears will link you to long-dead oceans. The nitrogen in your muscles will help to turn the sky blue, the phosphorus in your bones will help to turn the coastal waters of North Carolina green, the calcium in your teeth will crush your food between atoms that were mined by mushrooms, and the iron in your blood will kill microbes as it once killed a star. You will also discover that much of what death must inevitably do to your body is already happening among many of your atoms at this very moment and that, nonetheless, you and everyone else you know will always exist somewhere in the fabric of the universe. You are not only made of atoms; you are atoms, and this book, in essence, is an atomic field guide to yourself.
Download or read book Breathing for Clouds written by Christopher Reilley and published by Big Table Publishing Company. This book was released on 2014-09-06 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christopher Reilley's latest collection, Breathing for Clouds, has an emotional and architectural grandeur built page after page, written in many shapes, moods and even styles. In "A Digital Voice," Reilley writes, "I speak in puddles/but I write in oceans." Everything in this book is big, "like an old dozing elephant," embracing not only the whole of human emotion - love of child, of woman, of abuser, sadness, rage - but crossing literary genres, too, with the gritty noir prose pieces "Tales from the Grand Cafe," the poignant "An Open Letter to my Daughters," and of course, "Sabbath in Paradise." Breathing for Clouds does not look away or let up - ever. In its epic scope, in its muscularity of language, Reilley states, "In my greed, I offer you all I have." Who dares offer themselves like this? Jennifer Colella Martelli, Apostrophe Christopher Reilley deftly draws the reader from sentiment to the heartbreak of human folly. The sweetness of his poems and prose for his daughters, "Open Letter..." and the wistful "Pick Me A Winner" contrast starkly with pieces that detail darker visions, like "The Grand Cafe" tales and poems of crumbling relationships. The yearning "Danger Days" artfully applies middle age sensibility to reflections of youthful adventures. With wit, wry turn of the rhyme, and keen instinct, Breathing for Clouds invites us to view modern life through Reilley's lens. Richard Fox, Time Bomb ..".the Chuck Norris of poetry." Catherine Thorpe, In a Celadine World In Breathing for Clouds, Christopher Reilley (Poet Laureate of Dedham, Ma.) walks us on a tightrope, brings us to the edge of a tall building, and places us on the brink of life-changing decisions. His poems hit us universally as we are all on the verge, tittering above our changing situations. Do we choose to take action or to not take action and continue to sink? Check it out! Timothy Gager, The Shutting Door

Download or read book The Big Cloud written by Camille Seaman and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our culture is addicted to weather: hourly forecasts, apps, radio, TV channels, alerts, warnings, and watches. And understandably—our food, clothing, livelihoods, and, increasingly, safety are tied directly to the weather and climate change. In The Big Cloud, photographer Camille Seaman stands in front of tornados, at the edges of lightning storms, and in pelting hail under pitch-black skies to capture supercells and mammatus clouds in their often sublime and terrifying splendor. In these awe-inspiring photographs, Seaman's work is a potent reminder that there is no art more dramatic, in scale or emotion, than that created by nature. Big Cloud includes an introduction by award-winning New Yorker science writer and author Alan Burdick (Out of Eden, Why Time Flies).
