Download or read book A Gift to Imagine written by Scott Ludwig and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2015-08-22 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of my favorite comic strips is Bill Wattersons Calvin and Hobbes. Its based on the adventures and misadventures of six-year old Calvin and his stuffed tiger Hobbes. However, in Calvins mind Hobbes is the real deal, and the interactions between the two of them reflect that of a young boy and his living, breathing tiger friend. Calvins imagination is the stimulus of one of the most beloved, humorous and heart-warming comic strips of all time. Calvin is the antithesis of what is going on in the world today. Creativity and imagination seem to have taken a leave of absence recently. Movies and television shows are constantly being remade. New magazines look a lot like those already found on the newsstands. Television commercials are, for the most part sorely lacking in appeal. Radio commercials? Even worse: Same old song, same old story, same old same old. One of the things I love most about my grandson Krischan is his imagination Ive seen him invent an entire game using only a couple of sticks, a handful of rocks and an ant bed. Ive stood by his side as he saw and battled imaginary creatures so passionately I could have sworn I saw them too. Ive heard him create words for things that make so much more sense to me than the actual word he should be using. The boy has such a vivid imagination I make sure to pay close attention so I dont miss out on what he does or says next. He is, in a word Calvin. Coincidentally my nickname for him since the day he was born is Tiger. I have very single book chronicling the exploits of Calvin and Hobbes. Ive been saving them for Krischan so one day he can appreciate the magic Bill Watterson has created. I cant think of anyone better to pass the books along to, and hope Krischan will be eager to tear into them once he learns how to read. After he reads this book first, of course.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For children, potential is limitless, curiosity is an electrical current, and every moment is open to the possibility of the unexpected. Day-to-day life is filled with adventure. Road blocks are invitations to try new routes. And the world is vast and expansive. This book is a celebration of childhood through the crafts and activities that invite wonder and play. The twenty-five projects and activities in this book are meant to speak to the way children engage with the world. These projects are not about what is produced in the end (although that part is fun too) but rather they are stepping-off points—activities that spark curiosity, an adventure, or an investigation. They’re about the process of getting there. They’re about the conversations that happen while making things together. They’re about getting to know the world inch by inch. They’re about exploring imaginary universes and running through real forests. They’re about living in childhood . . . regardless of your actual age. They’re about being a kid.

Download or read book Imagine written by Alison Lester and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 1993-09 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Moving from the Enlightenment science of natural history to the contemporary science of global warming, LIGHT LIGHT is a provocative engagement with the technologies and languages that shape discourses of knowing. It bridges the histories of botany, empire, and mind to take up the claim of "objectivity" as the dissolution of a discrete self and thus explores the mind's movement toward and with the world. The poems in LIGHT LIGHT range from the epigrammatic to the experimental, from the narrative to the lyric, consistently exploring the way language captures the undulation of a mind's working, how that rhythm becomes the embodiment of thought, and how that embodiment forms a politics engaged with the environment and its increasing alterations."LIGHT LIGHT puts the hive back in the archive, the source in the resource. Through Joosten's miraculous mode of attending, through this mind that 'grounds sound to seed, ' we are elemented--'The mind is a mood of electricity, warmth, water, and wind.' We are given a mode of attending that is precarious, is an enactment of the precariousness we are and, with consequence, institute. Each thing this attention falls upon 'is a source of thought, not its object.' So everything is light once we learn to see by it. To honor the field we should 'leave the field, ' but this book we should never leave."--Jane Gregory"A concordance that emerges as material, thought, and material thought, Julie Joosten's LIGHT LIGHT is a most beautiful and rare breed: as if H.D.'s Sea Garden mated with Erasmus Darwins The Loves of the Plants. 'I was to guard the valley, name it, speak to it by name, ' Joosten writes. Hers is a haunting lament. It is what love is. What could be more necessary at this time on this planet?"--Cara Benson

Download or read book From Memory to Imagination written by C. Randall Bradley and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2012-09-21 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relatively recent "worship wars" over styles of worship — traditional, contemporary, or blended — have calmed down, and many churches have now reached decisions about which "worship style" defines them. At a more fundamental level, however, change has yet to begin. In From Memory to Imagination Randall Bradley argues that fallout from the worship wars needs to be cleaned up and that fundamental cultural changes — namely, the effects of postmodernism — call for new approaches to worship. Outlining imaginative ways for the church to move forward, this book is a must-read for church leaders and anyone interested in worship music.
Download or read book Time to Imagine written by Bonna Jones and published by Bonna Jones. This book was released on 2021-10-09 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At each life stage you have the power to imagine what comes next. Later there’s time to reflect on how your imagination fared. Was it powerful enough, or had it fallen into a sorry plight? When Bonna Jones joined a dream-sharing group run by Melbourne psychologist Peter O’Connor, she was on the cusp of menopause. In group conversations she took part in a process of sharing night-time dreams, which were imagined, re-imagined, and befriended. Dreams are an easy and accessible way to engage with the world of image and imagination. If you record your dreams and share with others, you begin a process that invites an imaginative response. You grow your mental power to imagine. Dream images beget other images and through that, give life to more. The dreams Bonna shared, now revealed in her memoir, show how she reimagined her life and where she was headed. For Bonna, dream group seeded new experiences. Beginning in 2003, she joined small group odysseys to Greece. On visits to sacred sites, ancient landscapes, and archaeological museums, she listened to talks on Greek mythology and took part in dream sharing. The odysseys had separation, initiation, and return as their theme. They prompted her to picture her own wild place and its attractions, and she saw how a dreamer has an inner wild she goes to at night. In that place, while her other mental powers sleep, her imagination is awake; later, she returns. This process initiates her into new ways of seeing her day-life. On the heels of a decade of dream sharing and odysseys to Greece, in 2012, Bonna went to art school. Encouraged to revive childlike imaginings as part of a process of making art, she discovered more ways to see. Shared dreams, travels to Greece, and art school are the main threads in her story, but mothering is also woven in. Feminine figures appeared in Bonna’s dreams, and she learnt about the gods of Greek mythology, who are feminine or masculine, but sometimes ambiguous. Over time, with plenty to reflect on, she grew to see her own mother in a new, softer light. The Mother, seen as mythical mother, gave her a fresh way to see mother-daughter relationships, and released her into a new time.
