Download or read book Coming to Pass written by Susan Cerulean and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2015-04-15 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coming to Pass tells the story of a little-developed necklace of northern Gulf Coast islands. Both a field guide to a beloved and impermanent Florida landscape and a call for its protection, Susan Cerulean's memoir chronicles the uniquely beautiful coast as it once was, as it is now, and as it may be as the sea level rises. For decades, Cerulean has kayaked, hiked, and counted birds on and around Dog, the St. Georges, and St. Vincent Islands with family and friends. She has collected scallops, snorkeled over a fallen lighthouse a mile offshore, and cast nets and fishing lines into cyclical runs of mullet and shrimp. Like most people, she didn't know how the islands had come to be or understand the large-scale change coming to the coast. With her husband, oceanographer Jeff Chanton, she studied the genesis of the coast and its inextricable link to the Apalachicola River. She interviewed scientists as they tracked and tallied magnificent and dwindling sea turtles, snowy white beach mice, and endangered plants. Illustrated with images from prizewinning nature photographer David Moynahan, Coming to Pass is the culmination of Cerulean's explorations and a reflection of our spiritual relationship and responsibilities to the world that holds us.

Download or read book The Silent Syllable written by Danielle Sainte-Marie and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-11-21 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the silent syllable? The silent syllable is the silence that allows each new letter, word, or sentence to come into being. It is the invisible support to the visible world. In Buddhism, the monks that chant ""Aum"" recognize the silence at the end as a necessary part of the word, or chant, to bring about the next Aum. The silence is integral, and thus, part of the word. It is just hidden to those uninitiated in such Oriental philosophies. This book of poetry seeks to find the hidden things in our lives that often go unrepresented or unnoticed, and to initiate the reader into them. And then, hopefully, the reader will find that hidden place within that supports all that they truly are, and all they have ever been.
