Book Synopsis To Where We Walk by : Emily Tiffany Joy
Download or read book To Where We Walk written by Emily Tiffany Joy and published by Emily Tiffany Joy. This book was released on 2024-06-09 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Everything has been figured out, except how to live.” -Jean-Paul Sartre, a philosopher for philosophers who seek meaning amidst the chaos. What can be known about life is a fleeting glance into the short eternity we find ourselves living. The path is one of discovery, wonder, and bemusement. Life is funny, and the joke is on us: for our uncertain futures cast tall shadows. The path preceding is worth it. Every step is worth it. Our destination is the journey. And we find ourselves on the other side, ever seeking love amidst the poetry that we live within our lives. Foreword This is the third book in the Soul in Words novella series. It cannot be fully understood without first reading the prior two books in the series: Beyond Description and Subsection Hope. To Where We Walk chronicles a new era of my life. Many of the challenges of the previous eras were overcome, but my story is far from over. Each timed and dated entry in this book is a vignette granting a glimpse into my life and into the wisdom that I have always sought to attain. Actualization is the key. It is always the key. And the question I pose to you is this: How will you attain it? I document my life to give you a chance. To illustrate all I went through to find it. May you find comforting moments in this book. May it give you access to perspectives you have not witnessed before. The title of this book, To Where We Walk, refers to an early passage in my first book: “The path to joy is one of pain, but once you find it, that walk, while long, is overflowing with loving friends. Because when you walk to joy, others will follow. Others care! And so do I!” From page five of Beyond Description. I dedicate all my work to helping people who struggle. It is not just for the LGBT+ community. It is dedicated to anyone who cannot find their way in life and anyone who seeks a way to do it. Let my life serve as an example. Let the tears I cried cure yours.
Download or read book We Walk written by Amy S. F. Lutz and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collection of beautiful and raw essays, Amy S. F. Lutz writes openly about her experience—the positive and the negative—as a mother of a now twenty-one-year-old son with severe autism. Lutz's human emotion drives through each page and challenges commonly held ideas that define autism either as a disease or as neurodiversity. We Walk is inspired by her own questions: What is the place of intellectually and developmentally disabled people in society? What responsibilities do we, as citizens and human beings, have to one another? Who should decide for those who cannot decide for themselves? What is the meaning of religion to someone with no abstract language? Exploring these questions, We Walk directly—and humanly—examines social issues such as inclusion, religion, therapeutics, and friendship through the lens of severe autism. In a world where public perception of autism is largely shaped by the "quirky geniuses" featured on television shows like The Big Bang Theory and The Good Doctor, We Walk demands that we center our debates about this disorder on those who are most affected by its impacts.
Book Synopsis At Night We Walk in Circles by : Daniel Alarcón
Download or read book At Night We Walk in Circles written by Daniel Alarcón and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A breathtaking, suspenseful story of one man’s obsessive search to find the truth of another man’s downfall, from the author of The King Is Always Above the People, which was longlisted for the 2017 National Book Award for Fiction. Nelson’s life is not turning out the way he hoped. His girlfriend is sleeping with another man, his brother has left their South American country, leaving Nelson to care for their widowed mother, and his acting career can’t seem to get off the ground. That is, until he lands a starring role in a touring revival of The Idiot President, a legendary play by Nelson’s hero, Henry Nunez, leader of the storied guerrilla theater troupe Diciembre. And that’s when the real trouble begins. The tour takes Nelson out of the shelter of the city and across a landscape he’s never seen, which still bears the scars of the civil war. With each performance, Nelson grows closer to his fellow actors, becoming hopelessly entangled in their complicated lives, until, during one memorable performance, a long-buried betrayal surfaces to force the troupe into chaos. Nelson’s fate is slowly revealed through the investigation of the narrator, a young man obsessed with Nelson’s story—and perhaps closer to it than he lets on. In sharp, vivid, and beautiful prose, Alarcón delivers a compulsively readable narrative and a provocative meditation on fate, identity, and the large consequences that can result from even our smallest choices.

Download or read book Why I Walk written by Kevin Klinkenberg and published by New Society Publishers. This book was released on 2014-08-11 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This memoir of life as a committed pedestrian in a beautiful Southern city explores the many joys and benefits of walking as a way of life. Raised on the notion that driving is the essence of freedom, many of us still cling to the belief that the American Dream is defined by a house in the suburbs and a car in the garage. But in Why I Walk, Kevin Klinkenberg shares a very different dream life—and a very different kind of freedom. A few years ago, Kevin moved to Savannah, Georgia, from Kansas City, Missouri. In large part, he chose his new home because he was seeking a truly walkable place to live. Going beyond the typical arguments against suburbia, he shows how walking on a daily basis has improved his health, finances, social life, and sense of personal freedom. By focusing directly on the real, measurable advantages of choosing to be a pedestrian, Why I Walk makes a convincing case for ending our love affair with the automobile—and rekindling the romance of walking.
Book Synopsis In Praise of Walking by : Shane O'Mara
Download or read book In Praise of Walking written by Shane O'Mara and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walking upright on two feet is a uniquely human skill. It defines us as a species. It enabled us to walk out of Africa and to spread as far as Alaska and Australia. It freed our hands and freed our minds. We put one foot in front of the other without thinking - yet how many of us know how we do that, or appreciate the advantages it gives us? In this hymn to walking, neuroscientist Shane O'Mara invites us to marvel at the benefits it confers on our bodies and minds. In Praise of Walking celebrates this miraculous ability. Incredibly, it is a skill that has its evolutionary origins millions of years ago, under the sea. And the latest research is only now revealing how the brain and nervous system performs the mechanical magic of balancing, navigating a crowded city, or running our inner GPS system. Walking is good for our muscles and posture; it helps to protect and repair organs, and can slow or turn back the ageing of our brains. With our minds in motion we think more creatively, our mood improves and stress levels fall. Walking together to achieve a shared purpose is also a social glue that has contributed to our survival as a species. As our lives become increasingly sedentary, we risk all this. We must start walking again, whether it's up a mountain, down to the park, or simply to school and work. We, and our societies, will be better for it.

Download or read book The Reason You Walk written by Wab Kinew and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-09-29 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A moving story of father-son reconciliation told by a charismatic aboriginal star When his father was given a diagnosis of terminal cancer, Winnipeg broadcaster and musician Wab Kinew decided to spend a year reconnecting with the accomplished but distant aboriginal man who’d raised him. The Reason You Walk spans that 2012 year, chronicling painful moments in the past and celebrating renewed hopes and dreams for the future. As Kinew revisits his own childhood in Winnipeg and on a reserve in Northern Ontario, he learns more about his father's traumatic childhood at residential school. An intriguing doubleness marks The Reason You Walk, itself a reference to an Anishinaabe ceremonial song. Born to an Anishinaabe father and a non-native mother, he has a foot in both cultures. He is a Sundancer, an academic, a former rapper, a hereditary chief and an urban activist. His father, Tobasonakwut, was both a beloved traditional chief and a respected elected leader who engaged directly with Ottawa. Internally divided, his father embraced both traditional native religion and Catholicism, the religion that was inculcated into him at the residential school where he was physically and sexually abused. In a grand gesture of reconciliation, Kinew's father invited the Roman Catholic bishop of Winnipeg to a Sundance ceremony in which he adopted him as his brother. Kinew writes affectingly of his own struggles in his twenties to find the right path, eventually giving up a self-destructive lifestyle to passionately pursue music and martial arts. From his unique vantage point, he offers an inside view of what it means to be an educated aboriginal living in a country that is just beginning to wake up to its aboriginal history and living presence. Invoking hope, healing and forgiveness, The Reason You Walk is a poignant story of a towering but damaged father and his son as they embark on a journey to repair their family bond. By turns lighthearted and solemn, Kinew gives us an inspiring vision for family and cross-cultural reconciliation, and for a wider conversation about the future of aboriginal peoples.

After Lenora disappears, everything changes for Emily, and as she deals with her mental devastation she is forced to consider a different future.
