A wild soul from birth, Callahan Indovina ran away from home at age fourteen. He left the Sierra Foothills of Northern California for the streets of the San Francisco Bay Area. Searching for the meaning of life, Callahan spent his time finding himself amongst the sinners and saints of the world. He lost himself in the halls of addiction shortly after. For nearly a decade, he struggled to find his light, fighting against the demons of addiction, anxiety, fear, codependency, and self-doubt. At twenty-six, he decided perhaps it was time to put the bottle down, yet this realization was only the beginning of an even longer journey. Another decade later, after coming through to the other side, Callahan took account of the essential teachings along the way. The principles and tenets that carried him from darkness to the light—forty-five experiences or lessons that tamed his wild soul and changed his life.

Blue Heart, Red Blood
Author: Apollo Alehc Sore
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 1647012910
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
Blue Heart, Red Blood is a poetic exposition of one man's road to finding true freedom and happiness. It's thoughtful, revolutionary, and as personal as a man can objectify. An autodidactic poet, Apollo Alehc Soré's poems are aggressive and bold and beautifully breaks what he perceives to be constricting rules of formation, rhyme schemes, and subject matter of "scholastic" poetry. This book was written for human-to-human relatability, so the author can feel less alone in the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that have shaped him into who he is today, as he feels that someone somewhere can relate. From the dregs of society, his voice and his poetry are universal and loud.

. . . Hold a Gentle Thought

Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 245
Book Description
Many years ago suffering a series of deep personal losses, Gene wanted to die and planned to. Yet he knew that was wrong. Writing about these feelings eased the pain. Desperate to be able to hold some gentle thoughts, he began writing in earnest, reinterpreting these happenings for himself. Soon he could see other points of view which enabled him to cope. Focusing on setting these experiences to rhythm and rhyme took his attention from the pain. As his interest and capabilities grew so did his collection of writings. Sharing these words seemed to help others too. People had constantly encouraged him to publish. He began giving book signings, readings and public speaking. They would also return bringing others to hear these words. He wondered if he could put into prose, poetry and/or short stories the issues that he found difficult to deal with. If an incident was too sensitive, painful or joyous to think about, could he make it easier to cope with? Through the exercise of putting these experiences into one or more of these three choices of expression he became able to deal with his most extraordinary difficulties. Whether positive or negative, he could cope! Some readers say that their applying these principles gets good results. Now he just wants to put these words into the ears, hands and hearts of those who also seek to be able to . . . . . . hold a gentle thought.

Wild Souls
Author: Emma Marris
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 163557496X
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
Winner of the 2022 Rachel Carson Environment Book Award * Winner of the 2022 Science in Society Journalism Award (Books) * Finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize “Thoughtful, insightful, and wise, Wild Souls is a landmark work.”--Ed Yong, author of An Immense World "Fascinating . . . hands-on philosophy, put to test in the real world . . . Marris believes that our idea of wildness--our obsession with purity--is misguided. No animal remains untouched by human hands . . . the science isn't the hard part. The real challenge is the ethics, the act of imagining our appropriate place in that world." --Outside Magazine From an acclaimed environmental writer, a groundbreaking and provocative new vision for our relationships with--and responsibilities toward--the planet's wild animals. Protecting wild animals and preserving the environment are two ideals so seemingly compatible as to be almost inseparable. But in fact, between animal welfare and conservation science there exists a space of underexamined and unresolved tension: wildness itself. When is it right to capture or feed wild animals for the good of their species? How do we balance the rights of introduced species with those already established within an ecosystem? Can hunting be ecological? Are any animals truly wild on a planet that humans have so thoroughly changed? No clear guidelines yet exist to help us resolve such questions. Transporting readers into the field with scientists tackling these profound challenges, Emma Marris tells the affecting and inspiring stories of animals around the globe--from Peruvian monkeys to Australian bilbies, rare Hawai'ian birds to majestic Oregon wolves. And she offers a companionable tour of the philosophical ideas that may steer our search for sustainability and justice in the non-human world. Revealing just how intertwined animal life and human life really are, Wild Souls will change the way we think about nature-and our place within it.

The Allegory of Love in the Early Renaissance
Author: James Calum O’Neill
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 100091190X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
Described as ‘the most beautiful book ever printed’ previous research has focused on the printing history of the Hypnerotomachia and its copious literary sources. This monograph critically engages with the narrative of the Hypnerotomachia and with Poliphilo as a character within this narrative, placing it within its European literary context. Using narratological analysis, it examines the journey of Poliphilo and the series of symbolic, allegorical, and metaphorical experiences narrated by him that are indicative of his metamorphosing interiority. It analyses the relationship between Poliphilo and his external surroundings in sequences of the narrative pertaining to thresholds; the symbolic architectural, topographical, and garden forms and spaces; and Poliphilo’s transforming interior passions including his love of antiquarianism, language, and Polia, the latter of which leads to his elegiac description of lovesickness, besides examinations of numerosophical symbolism in number, form, and proportion of the architectural descriptions and how they relate to the narrative.
