Download or read book Bird by Bird written by Anne Lamott and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An essential volume for generations of writers young and old. The twenty-fifth anniversary edition of this modern classic will continue to spark creative minds for years to come. Anne Lamott is "a warm, generous, and hilarious guide through the writer’s world and its treacherous swamps" (Los Angeles Times). “Superb writing advice…. Hilarious, helpful, and provocative.” —The New York Times Book Review For a quarter century, more than a million readers—scribes and scribblers of all ages and abilities—have been inspired by Anne Lamott’s hilarious, big-hearted, homespun advice. Advice that begins with the simple words of wisdom passed down from Anne’s father—also a writer—in the iconic passage that gives the book its title: “Thirty years ago my older brother, who was ten years old at the time, was trying to get a report on birds written that he’d had three months to write. It was due the next day. We were out at our family cabin in Bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books on birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. Then my father sat down beside him, put his arm around my brother’s shoulder, and said, ‘Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.’”

Download or read book The Lost Seeker written by Richard D. Kydd Jr. and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-09 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Lost Seeker, poet Richard Kydd focuses on the human spiritual journey, and the pain and conflict of man's dual spiritual and material makeup. A consistent theme is his observation that we are trapped in an illusion while in this life. In The Portal he calls reality 'A dream, a portal to a window. A view of semi-detached visions, alone to itself, floating in nothingness." He refers often to ' . this dream we call life," as in Locked in a Dream, and in The Window, which we see through dimly. The sadness of the passing of time, and the loss of loved ones, is mentioned often. In Of Yesterday he describes, 'Magic Moments lost in time, gone without a trace." In Dreams he calls a fond memory 'A photo in an album, a picture in a frame, a moment trapped in time, to never come again." Yet Kydd's message is primarily one of hope. He sees the human spirit as always in longing, always seeking the infinite-but ultimately arriving home, to find peace. In The Flaming Spirit a soul is 'Lost to itself beyond the great reaches of eternity. Forever flying higher." And in Born Eternal Kydd says, 'For we are spirit, born unencumbered." Kydd sees love as the end to the human soul's suffering, and this volume contains some touching love poems, in particular The Passing, a memorial to his Spiritual Grandmother.

It's 1934 and the Bell farm in Mulehead, Oklahoma is struggling as the earliest storms of The Dust Bowl descend. All around them the wheat harvests are drying out and people are packing up their belongings as storms lay waste to the Great Plains. As the Bells wait for the rains to come, Annie and each member of her family are pulled in different directions. Annie's fragile young son, Fred, suffers from dust pneumonia; her headstrong daughter, Birdie, flush with first love, is choosing a dangerous path out of Mulehead; and Samuel, her husband, is plagued by disturbing dreams of rain. As Annie, desperate for an escape of her own, flirts with the affections of an unlikely admirer, she must choose who she is going to become."--Syndetics
