Book excerpt: This is the third book in the Harmony Tree Series. It is a story of how a boy, Sage, who is different than all the other boys, finds his place in society because he is accepted for his particular giftings instead of complying to popular expectations. In most tribal societies differently gifted individuals were not looked down upon but considered sacred. The author has close relatives who are neurodivergent, but the story will be an encouragement for any child who is different; to the parents of such children, and to teach other children cultural and inter-relational sensitivity. In this third book, as in the prior two, parents will be able to pick out the ecological theme. The Harmony Tree Prequal: Different is Good encourages animal species preservation.

Book excerpt: In the Harmony Tree, an old grandmother oak tree is spared when loggers come through and clear-cut a forest. Grandmother Oak finds herself alone until new houses start showing up on the land, along with new trees. Grandmother Oak tries to make friends with these trees, but they are shallow and focused only on themselves As Grandmother Oak shares her stories and how she came to have such deep roots, she finds hope and healing The other trees, seeing the value of Grandmother Oak's history with the land, begin to find strength too. The inspiration for this story comes from the author's own fifty-acre farm, where all the virgin frees were logged except for a large, white nak tree that sat at the top of a hill. Randy Woodley, says, "I was always grateful the loggers left that one 300-year-old tree for us to enjoy. That and the tragic circumstances that caused the Woodleys to lose their land and farm just because they were Native Americans inspired Randy to write this story. Under such circumstances, Randy wondered, "How could this one tree bring about healing and friendship in the world? If we can change our minds about our current views of progress, ecology, and the relationship between settler and host peoples, then maybe that one grandmother oak tree, left uncut, offers some hope for everyone."

Download or read book Meaning in Life Volume 3 written by Irving Singer and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2009-12-30 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An acclaimed philosopher suggests that the art of living well employs the same principles as those that exist in all artistic creativity. This final book in Irving Singer's Meaning in Life trilogy studies the interaction between nature and the values that define human spirituality. It examines the ways in which we overcome the suffering in life by resolving our sense of being divided between them. Singer suggests that the accord between nature and spirit arises from an art of life that affords meaning, happiness, and love by employing the same principles as those that exist in all artistic achievements. It is through the meaningfulness created by imagination and idealization, Singer says, that we make life worth living. This human art form, Singer writes, enables us to unite our selfish interests with our compassionate and loving inclinations. We thereby effect a vital harmonization within which the naturalistic values of ethics, aesthetics, and religion can find their legitimate place. The good life, as envisioned by Singer, includes the love of persons, things, and ideals so intricately intermeshed that the meaning in one contributes to the meaningfulness of the other two. The result is a kind of happiness that we all desire.
