Download or read book My Thoughts Are Clouds written by Georgia Heard and published by Roaring Brook Press. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A poetry collection that both illustrates what mindfulness is and encourages young, growing minds to be present, from poet and educator Georgia Heard, with art by Isabel Roxas. Poets have long observed the world in a mindful way. They point out beauty we might have missed, draw our attention to our inner thoughts, and call us to see our society in new ways. But as daily life become more and more chaotic, children grow distracted. According to the CDC, 9.4% of children have ADHD and 7% have anxiety/depression. And these numbers continue to climb. As treatment doctors recommend healthy eating, physical activity, plenty of sleep, and mindfulness techniques. Georgia Heard is a poet and educator—and she has long had her own meditation practice. In My Thoughts Are Clouds, she uses poetry to demonstrate what mindfulness is and gives kids—and their parents and teachers—accessible ways to learn mindfulness tools.

Book excerpt: A selection of essays on writing and reading by the master short-fiction writer Lydia Davis Lydia Davis is a writer whose originality, influence, and wit are beyond compare. Jonathan Franzen has called her “a magician of self-consciousness,” while Rick Moody hails her as "the best prose stylist in America." And for Claire Messud, “Davis's signal gift is to make us feel alive.” Best known for her masterful short stories and translations, Davis’s gifts extend equally to her nonfiction. In Essays One, Davis has, for the first time, gathered a selection of essays, commentaries, and lectures composed over the past five decades. In this first of two volumes, her subjects range from her earliest influences to her favorite short stories, from John Ashbery’s translation of Rimbaud to Alan Cote’s painting, and from the Shepherd’s Psalm to early tourist photographs. On display is the development and range of one of the sharpest, most capacious minds writing today.

Download or read book The Light in My Mind written by Ellen Hawkins and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-21 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we have a life experience, it is our teacher.Not being able to read and write was very hard in the 1950's. The educational system did not know about dyslexia. So, they saw Ellen Hawkins as a lazy, defiant child who didn't want to put in the time and effort to learn. They never saw all the hours she put into memorizing all the words before spelling tests. She would write them, over and over again, until she was able to feel how to spell them.One night, when Ellen was 26 years old, she was awakened at 3 a.m. to the feeling of a rhythm, and then she could hear words coming to her. A voice told her to get up and write it down or it would be lost. So, she did what she was told.That night was her first channeling experience, the poem she called, My Answer. Many of her poems are still channeled, or what some people call automatic writing. Ellen thinks if we could see with the veils lifted, we would see her hand with another on top of it, writing together, guiding her hand when and where and how it is needed.PRAISE FOR THE LIGHT IN MY MIND:"Ellen's debut release is so powerful, so elegantly a testament to overcoming obstacles - in her case, dyslexia - to speak straight from one's heart and soul. What an incredible gift she has to bring the wisdom from many dimensions into the one we're currently living. I'm looking forward to lots more from her."--- D. D.

Download or read book Can t and Won t written by Lydia Davis and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new collection of short stories from the woman Rick Moody has called "the best prose stylist in America" Her stories may be literal one-liners: the entirety of "Bloomington" reads, "Now that I have been here for a little while, I can say with confidence that I have never been here before." Or they may be lengthier investigations of the havoc wreaked by the most mundane disruptions to routine: in "A Small Story About a Small Box of Chocolates," a professor receives a gift of thirty-two small chocolates and is paralyzed by the multitude of options she imagines for their consumption. The stories may appear in the form of letters of complaint; they may be extracted from Flaubert's correspondence; or they may be inspired by the author's own dreams, or the dreams of friends. What does not vary throughout Can't and Won't, Lydia Davis's fifth collection of stories, is the power of her finely honed prose. Davis is sharply observant; she is wry or witty or poignant. Above all, she is refreshing. Davis writes with bracing candor and sly humor about the quotidian, revealing the mysterious, the foreign, the alienating, and the pleasurable within the predictable patterns of daily life.

Download or read book Poems from the Heart written by Doreen Kovach and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-01-22 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I would like to introduce myself. My name is Doreen Kovach. I have experienced almost every stage in life. I am an only child. This brings with it a certain perspective. I have been exposed to a great education and had the privilege to embark on numerous travel experiences here and abroad. In my travels I have met some very influential people. Of which two of them were Mother Teresa; who is now Blessed; and the late Cardinal O’Connor. I can also speak Spanish fluently. This allows me to converse with people of varied ethnic backgrounds. As with any person with a free spirit who wishes to experience as many aspects of life as possible, I have at times gone astray—off the beaten path—or a Frost would say “The Road Not Taken- and that has made all the difference”. But this the price one must pay. I have been writing poetry since I was a little girl. I am a member of the Famous Poet’s Society. In this capacity I have won the Famous Poet’s Award for the years 2002 and 2003. 1 addition I have also won the Shakespearean Trophy Award for Excellence for the year 2003. Now I am embarking on a new path. This is my first book of poems. It is a compilation of all the experiences that I have encountered since I was a little girl until the present. The book content consist of such topics as religion, nature, animals, political, personal emotions and famous people amongst other things. All in all, from my poetry, I’d like everyone to know the “REAL ME”. So I close with “Paperback Writer” Dear Sir or Madam Will you read my book? It took me years to write Will you take a look? In essence, I would love for each of you who reads the jacket to consider buying my book. Sincerely; Doreen Kovach

In issuing the challenge to memorize great poetry, Caroline Kennedy invites us to a deeply enriching experience. For as she reminds us, “If we learn poems by heart, not only do we have their wisdom to draw on, we also gain confidence, knowledge and understanding that no one can take away.” Illustrated with gorgeous, original watercolor paintings by award-winning artist Jon J Muth , this is truly a book for all ages, and one that families will share again and again. Caroline’s thoughtful introductions shed light on the many ways we can appreciate poetry, and the special tradition of memorizing and reciting poetry that she celebrates within her own family.
