Visit the author's website at www.dancingwithdragonflies.com "This little book shows dance as a common ground where two people from very different worlds can come together. On the dance floor, they're able to take down the defensive walls they've built and not only find each other but also find their inner strength to trust and love again. Some may find this a fairy tale. Others a life lesson." Karen Pfrommer, Co-owner and dance instructor Let's Dance in Rhythm Branford, CT About the author: Jack Francis Gorfien is a writer and licensed acupuncturist practicing in Madison, Connecticut. His inspiration for this story grew in part from having studied the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. He found that the concept of balancing the opposing forces known as Yin and Yang to relieve pain and create a state of good health, apply to all areas of life. Inspiration for this story also grew out of his experiences with ballroom dancing. He discovered that ballroom dancing is an excellent metaphor for all types of relationships, and the benefits available to partners who are willing to strive for balance and help each other excel. The author's desire is to encourage people to look within themselves and others to focus on their qualities, and choose to cultivate those qualities to their most positive potential. In today's chaotic and sometimes frightening world, we will all be well served by nourishing what is best in others and ourselves whenever possible.

Book excerpt: Dragonfly Dance is a collection of poems remarkable for their candor and sense of catharsis. Writing from the vantage point of an American Indian women, Denise Lajimodiere opens a door into the lives of Native girls and women. Her poems often reflect the deep tensions between Native culture and white culture. Reflected in Lajimodiere's poems, life is sometimes beautiful but rarely easy. "The Necklace," the narrator details how her mother repaired a favorite beaded necklace, "her arthritic fingers patiently / threading beads / on the long thin needle, weaving / night after night." When the necklace is finally repaired, she wears it to school where At recess a White boy ran by, yanked it off my neck and threw it. I watched as it ascended high above the blacktop, the beads glittered, scattering their light, a rainbow against gray skies. Unadorned, direct, and often raw, these riveting poems sear their way into our imaginations, inviting us into a world we might never have known. We are richer for the knowledge.

Download or read book The Dragonfly s Dance written by Les Morgan and published by . This book was released on 2006-12-18 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In writing this book, I would like to say that I have no issue of debate with anyone and I am not trying to discredit any religious writings. I am simply trying to expand the horizons of what has been mentioned in the philosophical and religious writings. There is no end to the ideas that could be presented for no one can know the mind of God and the speculation is endless. It is not my intention to discredit or distort any word or verse of the Bible. It is not my intention to mislead anyone. However, I AM trying to convey the magnitude, the beauty and the wonder of God''s creation. Through the years there have been several avenues of thought that have played heavily on my mind and they wouldn''t let me rest until I had written them down. The focus of these thoughts and ideas were about "Time" and of my experiences where I felt that God was with me and had intervened in my life. These thoughts have never been published and I feel the need to share them with you - and with anyone that will listen. My goal in writing this book is to relay on to you my feelings, a different view of God and his works and my view of the ultimate destination of man. I would like to focus on our journey in "Time", Creation and "Man''s" purpose on earth. How we (man) fit into the scheme of things, and to try to explain the basic thought from the creation to the ultimate destination of man, i.e. Life after Death. Some of the things that 1 will say may seem "Far Fetched", but I ask you to accept what I say until you have read the complete book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A very colorful -- rhyming, teaching, little storybook to encourage children to want to learn.It has a companion coloring/activity book that is sold separately.Even before the dinosaurs walked the Earth, dragonflies took to the air.Dragonfly's wings are transparent. Light reflecting off of the crystal colors of the wings causes the illusion of the mirage of standing still.They can also move each of their four wings independently. In addition to flapping each wing up and down, they can rotate their wings forward and back. That means, Dragonflies can move straight up or down, fly backwards, stop and hover, and make hairpin turns, at full speed or in slow motion. The flight of the dragonfly is so special that it has inspired engineers who dream of making robots/drones that fly like dragonflies.
