Download or read book Bodysong written by Patricia Anne Dye and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-10-04 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For all our technological wizardry, we have failed to arrive at a critical understanding of what it means to be human. Trees grow true to their seeds, dogs know how to be dogs, kittens naturally mature into cats. In our case, we just don’t seem to have ‘connected the dots’. In spite of age-old advice from Those Who Know – the saints and seers of every religion – we are further than ever from reaching our potential for the kind of greatness, creativity and beauty of being that every true sage unanimously advocates. In short, we are more ‘off-song’ than we have ever been. This has resulted in a seriously ‘off-key’ planet. Our Mother Earth may even stop performing! Perhaps, being the complex beings we are, we don’t know practically speaking, where to begin. So we place the whole business in the too hard basket, or deny our destinies, leave questions about growth, meaning and a lasting happiness unanswered. By default, we fall back into the customs and rules of our surrounding cultures, assuring ourselves that this is all there is anyway. The ‘songs we sing’ are reflections of our cultural shortcomings, often disappointing and discordant. Turning our backs on our amazing potentials, we fall prey to social ills and spills. Why do you think our hospitals and our prisons are full to overflowing, our suicide statistics so high? The point is: it’s not all that hard to find and express your true ‘song. It’s far more divine than difficult in fact. The author’s story, told with candour and humour, is rich with helpful hints on practical ways for you to find your way through to a life of happiness and harmony.
Download or read book The Ten Toe Express A Daily Journal of a 5 000 Mile Hike written by Matt Gregory and published by Ten Toe Publishing . This book was released on 2021-07-19 with total page 909 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the daily journal of Matt Gregory's 5,000 mile hike from Bellingham, Washington to Key West, Florida. He left Bellingham on September 1st, 2006. Author's Note: This book is the unedited journal I kept on the hike. Sometimes I went days without seeing a computer and wrote them in a notebook. Once I finally saw a computer, it was usually a mad dash to update each journal entry in a fixed amount of time at libraries, internet cafes, and people’s houses. I made one pass fixing a few spelling errors but decided to keep everything else as is. To me, it keeps the essence of the journal alive. Most journal entries were written in a hurry while I was tired and pressed for time. Thank you for taking the time out to give this a read. I will finish the memoir soon.

Book excerpt: In 1971, Claire Lieber experienced a break with reality. After a high school orchestra trip to Texas, Claire began a rapid decline into sleeplessness and mania that soon degraded into psychosis. Her doctor suspected that someone had slipped her some LSD. During a hospitalization complicated by the growing drug culture, Claire spent several days before the doctor gave her anything to quell the mania. As the medication began to work, the high became a low and the awful truth began to seep in around the edges.It soon became evident that Claire was battling a serious illness, then known as manic depression. In a retelling of her personal story, Claire details the therapies, questionable medications, and nutrients that played an important role in guiding her down a challenging path through bipolar disorder to ultimately find wholeness. With candor and vulnerability, Claire reveals insight into the chain of events that unfolded after her diagnosis. She tells of the nurses, psychiatrists, psychologists and friends who helped her regain stability and achieve meaning. Claire explains how her relationship with Jesus sustained her and provided her with strength as she battled the disease. Joy in the Mourning is the true story of one woman’s seven year journey through bipolar disorder as she relied on her faith, inner strength, friends and dedicated health professionals to guide her on a path to a full life.

Download or read book A Sideways Look at Clouds written by Maria Mudd Ruth and published by Mountaineers Books. This book was released on 2017-08-18 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: • Written by a critically-acclaimed natural-history author • Shares author’s fun journey to understanding clouds • Written for the curious—but non-science—minded Author Maria Mudd Ruth fell in love with clouds the same way she stumbles into most passions: madly and unexpectedly. A Sideways Look at Clouds is the story of her quite accidental infatuation with and education about the clouds above. When she moved to the soggy Northwest a decade ago, Maria assumed that locals would know everything there was to know about clouds, in the same way they talk about salmon, tides, and the Seahawks. Yet in her first two years of living in Olympia, Washington, she never heard anyone talk about clouds—only the rain. Puzzled by this lack of cloud savvy, she decided to create a 10-question online survey and sent it to everyone she knew. Her sample size of 67 people included men and women, new friends in Olympia, family on the East Coast, outdoorsy and indoorsy types, professional scientists, and liberal arts majors like herself. The results showed that while people knew a little bit about clouds, most were like her—they had a hard time identifying clouds or remembering their names. As adults, they had lost their curiosity and sense of wonder about clouds and were, essentially, not in the habit of looking up. A Sideways Look at Clouds acknowledges the challenges of understanding clouds and so uses a very steep and bumpy learning curve—the author’s—as its plot line. The book is structured around the ten words used in most definitions of a cloud: “a visible mass of water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere above the earth.” A captivating story teller, Maria blends science, wonder, and humor to take the scenic route through the clouds and encourages readers to chart their own rambling, idiosyncratic course.
Download or read book The New Diary written by Tristine Rainer and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1979-07-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Diary is about a completely modern concept of journal writing. It has little to do with the rigid daily calendar diary you may have kept as a child or the factual travelogue you wrote to recall the Grand Canyon. Instead, it is a tool for tapping the full power of your inner resources. The New Diary is as much for those who already keep a journal as it is for those who have never kept one. It does not tell you the "right" way to keep a diary; rather, it offers numerous possibilities for using the diary to achieve your own purposes. It is a place for you to clarify goals, visualize the future, and focus your engergies; a means of freeing your intuition and imagination; a workbook for exploring your dreams, your past, and your present life. It is for everyone seeking concrete methods for dealing with personal problems. It is for women and men interested in achieving self-reliance and inner liberation, for artists and writers seeking new techniques for overcoming blocks to creativity.

Download or read book A Land Twice Promised written by Noa Baum and published by Workman Publishing. This book was released on 2016-06-07 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Israeli woman writes about growing up amid war and ancestral trauma and later building a friendship with a Palestinian woman in America. Israeli storyteller Noa Baum grew up in Jerusalem in the shadow of the ancestral traumas of the holocaust and ongoing wars. Stories of the past and fear of annihilation in the wars of the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s shaped her perceptions and identity. In America, she met a Palestinian woman who had grown up under Israeli Occupation, and as they shared memories of war years in Jerusalem, an unlikely friendship blossomed. A Land Twice Promised delves into the heart of one of the world’s most enduring and complex conflicts. Baum’s deeply personal memoir recounts her journey from girlhood in post-Holocaust Israel to her adult encounter with “the other.” With honesty, compassion, and humor, she captures the drama of a nation at war and her discovery of humanity in the enemy. Winner of the 2017 Anne Izard Storytellers’ Choice Award, among others, this compelling memoir demonstrates the transformative power of art and challenges each reader to take the first step toward peace. Praise for A Land Twice Promised “A penetrating, introspective memoir that mines the depths of the chasm between the Israeli and Palestinian experiences, the torment of family loss and conflict, and the therapy of storytelling as a cleansing art. You will not think in the same way at the end of this captivating book as you did at the beginning.” —David K. Shipler, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Arab and Jew: Wounded Spirits in a Promised Land

Download or read book The June 10th Journal of a New Freedom New Happiness written by Joseph Anthony (Fred) and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2008-07-18 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a compilation of many writngs: poems,prose,essays and some dialogue about the invaluable life of sobriety; my continued recovery from alcoholism for over 26 + years; in the 12 Steps of Recovery and in union with God. However, this work is not limited to one subject. Some of this book is about my personality ( or lack of one ), my childhood, my family, my Christian faith and further about my continuing relationship with my wife and my association with some very "special friends"; also, containing a collage of thoughts and words about various other topics of "life" in sobriety. One day, at a meeting, I came in contact with a friend who knew about Xlibris. I made contact with them and the book was born. This book is not written in perfect English because I and most folks, do not speak or think in perfect English. The book is not printed in perfection, to wit: some works are in all Caps, some in partial Caps because it makes it easier for me and others to see. No disrespect is meant to anyone. This just reminds me that I am NOT PERFECT nor will I ever be. I hope you find value in my writings. That is the purpose for which I, inspired by the Lord, have written them. Thank you. May God grant your every need. With respect and love for you all, Fred
