Book Synopsis Finding Our Way Home by : Myke Johnson
Download or read book Finding Our Way Home written by Myke Johnson and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-11-25 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this time of ecological crisis, all that is holy calls us into a more intimate partnership with the diverse and beautiful beings of this earth. In Finding Our Way Home, Myke Johnson reflects on her personal journey into such a partnership and offers a guide for others to begin this path. Lyrically expressed, it weaves together lessons from a chamomile flower, a small bird, a copper beech tree, a garden slug, and a forest fern, along with insights from Indigenous philosophy, environmental science, fractal geometry, childhood Catholic mysticism, the prophet Elijah, fairy tales, and permaculture design. This eco-spiritual journey also wrestles with the history of our society's destruction of the natural world, and its roots in the original theft of the land from Indigenous peoples. Exploring the spiritual dimensions of our brokenness, it offers tools to create healing. Finding Our Way Home is a ceremony to remember our essential unity with all of life.

Book excerpt: In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards. Through engaging anecdotes and inspired advice, profiles of home gardeners throughout the country, and interviews with scientists and horticulturalists, Lawson applies the broader lessons of ecology to our own outdoor spaces. Detailed chapters address planting for wildlife by choosing native species; providing habitats that shelter baby animals, as well as birds, bees, and butterflies; creating safe zones in the garden; cohabiting with creatures often regarded as pests; letting nature be your garden designer; and encouraging natural processes and evolution in the garden. The Humane Gardener fills a unique niche in describing simple principles for both attracting wildlife and peacefully resolving conflicts with all the creatures that share our world.

Book Synopsis A Garden in the Rain by : Dell Catherall
Download or read book A Garden in the Rain written by Dell Catherall and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2024-02-08 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this début collection, Dell Catherall shapes language the way a gardener prunes an aspen tree. Paying tribute to a garden, a husband, a son lost to childhood demons, the poems in this collection connect the humble to the luminous. A draft dodger collects wild plants from the coast of British Columbia. Camellias bloom as a sex worker from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside enters a creative writing class. Witch hazel acts as a metaphor for a son suffering with bipolar disorder. With the four seasons as an overarching structure, Catherall deftly moves between forms: A palindrome reveals the murderous and miraculous qualities of rhubarb. “Fig Sestina” describes a perfect summer gift from the husband's garden. Frozen hellebore blooms and bleeding hearts garland a journey through motherhood, marriage, and friendship, while wisteria cascades outside the boundaries of pleasure and grief. Lush, fragrant, and humming with life, A Garden in the Rain reminds us that all is never lost—that plants may die, but “gardens are forever.”

As Howard ponders this on his way home, he encounters a mysterious withered garden that seems to be lifeless. Even though the garden appears to be frozen, Howard experiences an eerie feeling that life is still present. He senses the garden's potential.Inspired by Howard's innate sensing and validation of the garden's potential, Fairy Gardner appears so that she might share the story of the history of this great garden with someone who is hopeful, open, and sensitive enough to believe in potential. Together Howard and Fairy Gardner go on a quest to discover the garden's characters and their unique learning talents. He also learns of the bullying-type character Prunehilda the Paralyzer and the paralyzing words and actions that she demonstrated to freeze and paralyze the talents that shut the garden down in the first place. Fairy Gardner shares the kind words and actions that spark new life within the garden, and Howard pledges to help nurture its growth as well as use his new understandings to nurture his own potential development.This children's story uniquely parallels the main character's quest for understanding his own learning potential to a garden with personified characters representing learning qualities, types, and talents. Howard journeys through the secret garden's story of what makes it wither, dry, and freeze as well as the positive words, actions, and mind-sets that made it thrive and nurture its growth. Designed to help learners discover their own learning strength and preferences, this story also assists in suggesting the catalysts that spark and nurture growth in learning as well as negative strategies that tend to hinder the growth of learning potential. A mind map of this story is included to assist parents, educators, and leaders in their own quest to help learners become aware of metacognitive strategies and facilitating discussions about learning qualities and domains. This story is designed to entertain children's curiosity about their own learning as educational stakeholders continue to reimagine and weave the new learning threads of the future into the tapestry of making education meaningful in the future.

Download or read book Frog Music written by Emma Donoghue and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of Room, a young French burlesque dancer living in San Francisco is ready to risk anything in order to solve her friend’s murder—but only if the killer doesn’t get her first. Summer of 1876: San Francisco is in the fierce grip of a record-breaking heat wave and a smallpox epidemic. Through the window of a railroad saloon, a young woman named Jenny Bonnet is shot dead. The survivor, her friend Blanche Beunon, is a French burlesque dancer. Over the next three days, she will risk everything to bring Jenny's murderer to justice—if he doesn't track her down first. The story Blanche struggles to piece together is one of free-love bohemians, desperate paupers, and arrogant millionaires; of jealous men, icy women, and damaged children. It's the secret life of Jenny herself, a notorious character who breaks the law every morning by getting dressed: a charmer as slippery as the frogs she hunts. In thrilling, cinematic style, Frog Music digs up a long-forgotten, never-solved crime. Full of songs that migrated across the world, Emma Donoghue's lyrical tale of love and bloodshed among lowlifes captures the pulse of a boomtown like no other. "Her greatest achievement yet . . . Emma Donoghue shows more than range with Frog Music—she shows genius." —Darin Strauss, author of Half a Life.
