Excerpt: ... the long quest "Has the longest prayer of man been answered to thee, Stranger, and hast thou thy friend?"--Amiel'a Journal. Feiend, I have found thee not; I have not heard Thy voice, nor touched thy hand, nor seen thine eyes Grow clear with that great speech which needs not words: Yet do I seek thee--asking of the stars, Low-swung across this desert sky of mine, If anywhere they shine on one who goes Swift-footed to like end on kindred road. Yet do I seek thee--asking of the wind, Old Master-Singer, singing down the world, Mingling all music in his endless song, If he has caught some word, some tone, of thine To stir my silence like a trumpet call. I seek thee where the tall pines laugh and lean Against the sun, against the storm and cloud; For thou art strong like them and swift to joy; Strong to endure; deep-rooted into life; And glad of earth as of the blue above. I seek thee where the patient grasses go Across the hills; their patience is as thine; Thy quiet surety that Life's barrens yet Shall blossom; yet shall yield their fruit and seed; Not less, nor less approved, measured at last, Than lavish harvests won by lighter toil. I seek thee where the wild floods whirl and swing Through riven canons, mad to reach the sea; As some great soul that dares to know the all--The worst, the best, the farthest bound of life; Holding the pain and passion little price For one strong leap beyond the utmost verge, One mighty hail across the infinite. Friend, friend, I seek thee; holding that high quest Better than all earth's finding. Go thy way Swift and unhindered under thine own star; Along whatever way thy feet must take Past high and higher, on to higher yet; On to the farthest peak thine eyes can see;--I seek thee, seek thee; call to thee ..".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filled with “honest” writing and “wise” observations, “Russell’s well-written essays describe her life as an urban immigrant to the rural Southwest” (Library Journal). In 1981, newlywed Sharman Apt Russell moved with her husband to an agricultural valley in southwestern New Mexico, hoping to create a simpler life. From building their adobe house to the home-birth of their firstborn to growing their own food and navigating the seasonal flooding of the Mimbres River, these luminous essays chart Sharman’s journey toward self-sufficiency in a land as mythical and remote as the image of the prehistoric fluteplayer found on the pottery in trading posts throughout the Southwest. Replete with wisdom and a reverence for the Native American people whose relics Sharman discovers everywhere on the land around her, this award-winning memoir pays tribute to the power and grace of nature, our deep connection to our prehistoric past, and the beauty of living in communion with the land. “A fine contribution to the literature of the modern American Southwest . . . [Russell] achieves just the right mix of fact and metaphor, humor and poetics.” —Booklist “These essays say much about the difficulty of maintaining an alternate lifestyle.” —Publishers Weekly “A lovely little book. To be kept and read and read again.” —Tony Hillerman, bestselling author

Download or read book Yaqui Deer Songs/Maso Bwikam written by Larry Evers and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2023-01-17 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the American Folklore Society’s Chicago Folklore Prize Yaqui regard song as a kind of lingua franca of the intelligent universe. It is through song that experience with other living things is made intelligible and accessible to the human community. Deer songs often take the form of dialogues in which the deer and others in the wilderness world speak with one another or with the deer singers themselves. It is in this way, according to one deer singer, that “the wilderness world listens to itself even today.” In this book authentic ceremonial songs, transcribed in both Yaqui and English, are the center of a fascinating discussion of the Deer Song tradition in Yaqui culture. Yaqui Deer Songs/Maso Bwikam thus enables non-Yaquis to hear these dialogues with the wilderness world for the first time.

Download or read book Songs My Mother Sang to Me written by Patricia Preciado Martin and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 1992-07 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motivated by a love of her Mexican American heritage, Patricia Preciado Martin set out to document the lives and memories of the women of her mother's and grandmother's eras; for while the role of women in Southwest has begun to be chronicled, that of Hispanic women largely remains obscure. In Songs My Mother Sang to Me, she has preserved the oral histories of many of these women before they have been lost or forgotten. Martin's quest took her to ranches, mining towns, and cities throughout southern Arizona, for she sought to document as varied an experience of the contributions of Mexican American women as possible. The interviews covered family history and genealogy, childhood memories, secular and religious traditions, education, work and leisure, environment and living conditions, rites of passage, and personal values. Each of the ten oral histories reflects not only the spontaneity of the interview and personality of each individual, but also the friendship that grew between Martin and her subjects. Songs My Mother Sang to Me collects voices not often heard and brings to print accounts of social change never previously recorded. These women document more than the details of their own lives; in relating the histories of their ancestors and communities, they add to our knowledge of the culture and contributions of Mexican American people in the Southwest.

Download or read book Songs of the Lisu Hills written by Aminta Arrington and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2020-01-10 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of how the Lisu of southwest China were evangelized one hundred years ago by the China Inland Mission is a familiar one in mission circles. The subsequent history of the Lisu church, however, is much less well known. Songs of the Lisu Hills brings this history up to date, recounting the unlikely story of how the Lisu maintained their faith through twenty-two years of government persecution and illuminating how Lisu Christians transformed the text-based religion brought by the missionaries into a faith centered around an embodied set of Christian practices. Based on ethnographic fieldwork as well as archival research, this volume documents the development of Lisu Christianity, both through larger social forces and through the stories of individual believers. It explores how the Lisu, most of whom remain subsistence farmers, have oriented their faith less around cognitive notions of belief and more around participation in a rhythm of shared Christian practices, such as line dancing, attending church and festivals, evangelizing, working in one another’s fields, and singing translated Western hymns. These embodied practices demonstrate how Christianity developed in the mountainous margins of the world’s largest atheist state. A much-needed expansion of the Lisu story into a complex study of the evolution of a world Christian community, this book will appeal to scholars working at the intersections of World Christianity, anthropology of religion, ethnography, Chinese Christianity, and mission studies.
