This book was released on 2022-01-15 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This humble book takes you on a unique adventure of spiritual healing in the Great White North of Michigan. Through poetry and humor, the author shares the story of his healing, redemption, and growing closer to his Creator. This book is like nothing you have read before and, prayerfully, will inspire you to find the same healing he found. Peace be to you! These poems are not only endearing because they capture the spirit and beauty of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, but they speak to the heart because they elevate the form beyond mere physicality, platitudes, and superficial spirituality to present the truth of who God is and who we are in relation to him. The strikingly simple haiku reaches its fullest potential when wed to the truth of God's love for his wayward children as expressed in the self-giving sacrifice of his Son, in the beauty of his creation, and in the fullness of the faith of the Catholic Church. Obviously the fruit of deep prayer, this collection can bring the reader to the same place of contemplation, healing, and gratitude for God's many gifts to us. -Deacon Jeremiah Mason P.M.R.M. Messing's journey from brokenness to healing is told eloquently through both prose and poetry. He reminds us that God loves us - each and every one of us - and that it's never too late for us to run to Him. God never gives up on us. Mr. Messing juxtaposes the beauty of God's creation in Michigan's Upper Peninsula with haiku, an ancient form of Japanese poetry, to paint a vivid picture of his journey and a glimpse into his soul. -Catholic Educator Christy Miron

Download or read book Ocean Voices written by Denis Albert Ladbrook and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2016-12-28 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A triple breakdown in relationships, work life, and health leaves Professor Denis Ladbrook teetering on the brink. Inspired by Carl Jung's idea that the ocean symbolizes the unconscious the great source of life, emotion, and soul Denis chooses to leave the city for the seaside hamlet of Yanchep, an hour's drive north of Perth, Western Australia. Tiptoeing down a steep dune track to the water's edge as dawn breaks each morning, Denis walks far along the beach, immersed in sounds of wind and waves. His sensations morph into words. Stumbling through emotional desolation and divorce, he trudges the ocean shore until he discovers the rhythm of the ancient Japanese poetic shape, haiku. Among the book's almost three hundred haikus, Denis includes thirty-two written by medieval Japanese poets. Over the year, the healing energy of the ocean, the ritual beat of walking, and actually writing the poems enabled Denis to let go and flow with the tides. Raw emotions allying with capricious ocean moods give the collection its energy, transforming brokenness to wholeness.

Download or read book Haikus for Healing written by Mayumi Itoh and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-07-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the forty-first bilingual haiku collection originally written by this author and introduces haikus featuring Japanese suffering and healing. Throughout history, the Japanese have suffered from many tragedies. Specifically, Japanese civilians went through a series of unprecedented hardships during the Asia-Pacific War, such as the Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the internment of the Japanese on the West Coast of the United States. The Japanese acts of aggression during the Asia-Pacific War were brutal beyond description (a haiku collection about sufferings in Asia will be published later). A less known fact is that Japanese citizens at large, in addition to Asians and Americans, were also the victims of Japanese military propaganda. They had no say in the matter of the war and were forced to cooperate with wartime policy. Those who did not were arrested and tortured. Other cases of hardships Japanese endured in the 20th century concern the largescale Japanese emigration to North and South America, including California, Hawaii, Brazil, and Peru. This systematic emigration was promoted by the Japanese government as a means to reduce the number of poverty-stricken farmers at home. The sufferings and wounds of those who were involved in these tragedies deeply resonate in the hearts of the Japanese today. These experiences should not be buried in the vault of history. Reconciliation and healing from these wounds begin with acknowledgement of the truth. Upon recognition of the true facts, one can learn lessons so as not to repeat the same tragedies and go forward. The essence of haiku is to elevate one's feelings to a more objective and larger perspective. This mental engagement can serve as a healing process. With this in mind, this haiku collection examines diasporas, wars, and other sufferings that the Japanese have gone through in contemporary history and expresses them in a form of concise poetry, with annotations. Specifically. this haiku anthology presents 86 haikus with season words of the four seasons, plus the 'new year, ' which counts as a sub-season in the Japanese calendar.
Download or read book Stories of Illness and Healing written by Sayantani DasGupta and published by Literature and Medicine. This book was released on 2007 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of women's illness narratives Stories of Illness and Healing is the first collection to place the voices of women experiencing illness alongside analytical writing from prominent scholars in the field of narrative medicine. The collection includes a variety of women's illness narratives--poetry, essays, short fiction, short drama, analyses, and transcribed oral testimonies--as well as traditional analytic essays about themes and issues raised by the narratives. Stories of Illness and Healing bridges the artificial divide between women's lives and scholarship in gender, health, and medicine. The authors of these narratives are diverse in age, ethnicity, family situation, sexual orientation, and economic status. They are doctors, patients, spouses, mothers, daughters, activists, writers, educators, and performers. The narratives serve to acknowledge that women's illness experiences are more than their diseases, that they encompass their entire lives. The pages of this book echo with personal accounts of illness, diagnosis, and treatment. They reflect the social constructions of women's bodies, their experiences of sexuality and reproduction, and their roles as professional and family caregivers. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Stories of Illness and Healing draws the connection between women's suffering and advocacy for women's lives.
Download or read book Japanese Death Poems written by and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 1998-04-15 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A wonderful introduction the Japanese tradition of jisei, this volume is crammed with exquisite, spontaneous verse and pithy, often hilarious, descriptions of the eccentric and committed monastics who wrote the poems." --Tricycle: The Buddhist Review Although the consciousness of death is, in most cultures, very much a part of life, this is perhaps nowhere more true than in Japan, where the approach of death has given rise to a centuries-old tradition of writing jisei, or the "death poem." Such a poem is often written in the very last moments of the poet's life. Hundreds of Japanese death poems, many with a commentary describing the circumstances of the poet's death, have been translated into English here, the vast majority of them for the first time. Yoel Hoffmann explores the attitudes and customs surrounding death in historical and present-day Japan and gives examples of how these have been reflected in the nation's literature in general. The development of writing jisei is then examined--from the longing poems of the early nobility and the more "masculine" verses of the samurai to the satirical death poems of later centuries. Zen Buddhist ideas about death are also described as a preface to the collection of Chinese death poems by Zen monks that are also included. Finally, the last section contains three hundred twenty haiku, some of which have never been assembled before, in English translation and romanized in Japanese.
Download or read book Haikus for Healing written by Mayumi Itoh and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-08-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the forty-second bilingual haiku collection originally written by this author and introduces haikus about sufferings and healings of Asians during World War II. The history of East Asia in the first half of the 20th century was marked by tragedies caused by the Japanese acts of aggression. This began with the first Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, which was followed by the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905, the Japanese annexation of Korea in 1910, and the creation of Manchukuo, Japan's puppet state in Manchuria, in 1932. Subsequently, Japan waged total war with China in 1937-the second Sino-Japanese War-and then the Pacific War of 1941-1945 with the United States (the Allied Powers). The consequences of the Japanese acts of aggression during the Asia-Pacific War were beyond description. Countless people in East Asia and the Pacific lost their lives and suffered dearly. Specifically, Chinese civilians went through a series of brutality by the Japanese Army as exemplified by the Massacre of Nanjing. In turn, Korean men were conscripted in the Japanese Army or were taken to Japan as forced laborers, while Korean women were used as "comfort women" in the warfront. The sufferings and wounds of the victims of World War II still deeply resonate in the hearts of the survivors and their kin today. These experiences should not be buried in the vault of history. Reconciliation and healing from these wounds begin with acknowledgement of the truth. Upon recognition of the true facts, one can learn lessons so as not to repeat the same tragedies and move forward. The essence of haiku is to elevate one's feelings to a more objective and larger perspective. This mental engagement can facilitate one to embrace empathy for victims of tragedies. This in turn can serve as a healing process for the victims, as well as for one's self. With this in mind, this haiku collection examines diasporas, wars, and other sufferings that the Asians have gone through in contemporary history and expresses them in a form of concise poetry, with annotations. Specifically, this haiku anthology presents 86 haikus with season words of the four seasons, plus the 'new year, ' which counts as a sub-season in the Japanese calendar.
