Informed by the death of a beloved brother, here are the stories of childhood, its thicket of sex and sorrow and joy, boys and girls growing into men and women, stories of a brother who in his dying could teach how to be most alive. What the Living Do reflects a new form of confessional poetry, one shared to some degree by other women poets such as Sharon Olds and Jane Kenyon. Unlike the earlier confessional poetry of Plath, Lowell, Sexton et al.,...

These are the observations of war, seen through the eyes of the Observer, a gentle toy, a mascot, who has accompanied determined men and women, old and young, through the bewildering, realistic experiences of war.
The Observer witnesses the lives of ordinary people, their anguish, camaraderie, and hopes. So their sky, flowers, insects, and people are not forgotten but will survive.

Description
Prayer is universal. It is common to all cultures and all religions. It is the way we reach out to the Divine.
I think of prayer as a clay urn we lower hand over hand into the well of our hearts, the well that opens to the unlimited water table of blessings.
There are different reasons we go the well. There are dark times when we face doubt and loss. There are times when the fire of inspiration lifts our minds and hearts to a new possibility. And...

Chapter 6 - Disconnect - Disconnect is about the psychological action of disconnecting from everything that influences you in a negative manner. To not listen to the thoughts and voices of others who begin to steer your life, but instead, to focus on what you want and what you believe in.
