Musings of an untamed mind
Author: Dina Hazarika Chowdhury
Publisher: Writersgram
ISBN: 935485060X
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
Imagine a calm, silent stream suddenly facing a broken floodgate- it’s a chaos of wildly overflowing, gushing avalanche of strong force. This book is just that. This book contains musings of a long thought, dormant mind. The writings are mostly from lived experiences from my life as well as the people that inspire me. This book is all about trying to remind everyone that we are naturally inclined to complicate this simple thing called life, that how time and again, we must remind ourselves that the ultimate goal is not what we set for ourselves, that we must never settle for the benchmarks others have set for us, that it’s ok not to be ok. Long story short, this book is all about celebrating imperfections and mistakes, about finally unearthing a long pending dream, it's all about accepting the journey. What you are reading now, is what someone calls ‘musings of an untamed mind’. It's a genuine, raw attempt of a soul trying to express fossilized thoughts.

Musings from an Old Wooden Bridge
Author: MJ Gaylor
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1664273522
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
In today’s world, musing is a lost art that desperately needs to be rediscovered. Contrary to popular belief, we don’t run farther when we run faster. A full daily planner that leaves little time for thoughtful reflection, leads to an empty, unfulfilled life. A packed schedule sets aside one of the great purposes of life, to exercise the mind and stoke the creative spark within. We need to muse and muse often. In Musings from an Old Wooden Bridge, author MJ Gaylor offers a collection of random musings, complemented with Scripture, Bible stories, and personal experiences. The lead story, “Life Cycles,” expresses the importance of transitioning from one phase of life to the next, both as a Christian and as an individual. Moving successfully through each stage brings us to maturity, which is the goal of our human experience. “The Impossible Made Easy,” emphasizes the ease of the Christian life in contrast to how difficult we sometimes make it. Borrowing a phrase from baseball great Honus Wagner, Gaylor surmises that there’s not a lot to being a Christian, if you are one. The selection “Loved by God,” explores the love that God has for each of us. It is only when we receive His love that we begin to love ourselves. Treasuring ourselves as creations of God is the first step in loving others. Insightful and introspective, Musings from an Old Wooden Bridge encourages the reader to think deeply concerning the true meaning of life.

Pages : 194
Book Description
Eleven-year-old Isabel is a “plain old” girl living in Provincetown, Massachusetts, who believes that she is destined to accomplish something special. When her fifth-grade class goes on a whale-watch field trip, something amazing happens: Dozens of different species of whales surround the boat, bumping the deck and sending Isabel flying into the ocean. Isabel is shocked to hear the whales speaking to her—she is a mermaid, they tell her, a “Chosen One” who has the ability to turn from a human into a whale and back again. She is destined to live among the whales long enough to learn their ways, and teach them about the human world. Living among her pod is fun, at first, but Isabel has an important mission. She will change the whales’ future forever, and learn a lot about herself in the process.

Author Notes - A lifelong lover of the written word, poetry has given voice to my rather introspective inner world. Written exploration of this inner world has allowed for a freedom of ideas not possible when in conversation. It is my hope that by putting pen to paper, someone flirting with their shadow will embrace this journey with a knowing that all will be well. It is only by embracing the darkest corners of self that one fully blooms. Rocky as the trip may be, it is well worth the challenge.
