Historia
If we were as tiny as ants to another being, what would they make of our philosophies? The great satirist Voltaire imagines alien visitors who have opinions. Bedtime stories are narrated by the world's most celebrated voices and written with no beginning, middle, or end so you don't stay up to hear what happens next. They're interesting enough to give your mind something to focus on, but delivered in a way that encourages sleep.

It was amusing to listen to. My first encounter with Voltaire.
He must have blown ed peoples minds back when he first wrote it. But then we aren't from Micro me gas' planet. 😍

Depression Bookend by Grace
Revisado: 11-27-22
I started this recorded book before I entered a hospital to get through a depression that felt like it was tearing me apart. I identified with her suffering, but I am not paralyzed and wanted to have a life instead of existance. After, I rested, got help and returned home I finished listening to her testimony about her long life. it was a validation that I had taken the right steps of self care so that I could receive her purpose for writing the book and why she honored God in her art, writing and work to help the disabled. To engage people to know Jesus and to endure ALL THINGS for the Glory of God. I was blessed.

Historia
Miracle and Wonder: Conversations with Paul Simon is part memoir, part investigation, and unlike any creative portrait you’ve ever heard before. Recorded over a series of 30 hours of conversation between Simon, Gladwell, and Gladwell’s oldest friend and co-writer, journalist and Broken Record podcast co-host Bruce Headlam, the conversation flows from Simon’s music, to his childhood in Queens, NY, to his frequent collaborators including Art Garfunkel and the nature of creativity itself.

I can't of a different way to show the Artist
Revisado: 11-13-22
A musician can't be confined to simply words...even their own words. Here is the real, raw Simon artistry displayed. I know nothing of the language of notes, chords and rips but I am now familiar with what went into and through his music. Familiar ... A musician would probably know more.

Historia
Art & Fear explores the way art gets made, the reasons it often doesn't get made, and the nature of the difficulties that cause so many artists to give up along the way. This is a book about what it feels like to sit in your studio or classroom, at your wheel or keyboard, easel or camera, trying to do the work you need to do. It is about committing your future to your own hands, placing free will above predestination, choice above chance. It is about finding your own work.

Understanding not just art
Revisado: 11-08-22
This recitation of the dealings that people who make art the same but different may not be considered clear to someone who has not produced art in some form. But to the ones who have tacked, grappled and repeatedly reached to display their conception in the way they saw it so it could be seen by others as they saw it, we understand the passages.

Historia
"I’m James Taylor and I’m a professional autobiographer", says the celebrated folk singer at the start of this tender audio memoir. Through decades of music by one of the best-selling musicians of all time, who created classics like "Fire and Rain" and "Carolina in My Mind", James Taylor has doled out his history in the poetry of his work. Taylor says his early life is, "the source of many of my songs", and Break Shot is a tour of his first 21 years in rich, new detail.

Massive changes compressed in just a little time
Revisado: 10-18-22
The title I've given here is a summary of all that Mr Taylor went through as well as my understanding of what he went through and how that formed the music I grew up listening to in the background of my life. I was lucky not to go down the road he went. I thank him for being strong enough to survive and share his music and his life with us. It's A pleasure knowing you over the various airways. Know that even ordinary lives, like mine, were made better through your "notes' musical and otherwise.

Historia
Author Benjamin Hoff shows that the philosophy of Winnie-the-Pooh is amazingly consistent with the principles of Taoism and demonstrates how you can use these principles in your daily life. Is there such thing as a Western Taoist? Benjamin Hoff says there is, and this Taoist's favorite food is honey.

I must be a block of wood
Revisado: 10-17-22
I had thought it awful long until I realized that I had stopped it in the middle of the last chapter.
Then I laughed at myself and restarted the book from the beginning.
I found myself fascinated at the various specifications assigned to each character of the "Pooh world". In my simple mind I listened to the story, without thinking of how the animals and their actions combined to represent a certain kind of human set of actions. But as Mr. Vance spoke Mr. Hoff's written descriptions, I could readily see in my mind certain examples of people who I can now call 'Piglets', 'Owls' and 'Eores' (and so forth).
But mainly, I resonated with the simple thinking of Pooh. I circle around to find that I'm quite satisfied with being simple.

Historia
If you would like to get into a positive, faithful mind-set in this time of global fear, this is the most important book you will hear. The methods shared within have worked great for me and allowed my life to unfold without stress or worry. But I’m not suggesting that everyone who listens to this book is going to become calm or anxiety-free, as I don’t know how committed to creating a better life the people who listen to this are.

I am blind in 1 eye and have a caterac causing cloudiness in the other. My mother later into the arms of Jesus and I am struggling on what to do next with my life. I could list the crazy experiences that I have encountered since her passing. But I would rather point to the Lord who has faithful brought me through them. I don't know where I'm going alike Abram, I was simply told to go forth. I await when the hand of the Lord,, "shows me the embroidered image" from His point of view.

Historia
In life, day-to-day problems come to us all, but if our faith is weak, even small problems can quickly grow to appear bigger than they really are. A mountain of doubt can cripple your life. Like a rabbit in headlights, you close your eyes and freeze, hoping the problem will go away when you have opened them. When it remains, you can be left dazed and confused, not knowing what way to turn. All rational thought goes out the window. In a panic to get things back to the way they were, you can make all the wrong decisions.

Historia
Close your eyes and get ready to see the world in a new and more positive way. As a child in Toronto, Molly Burke was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa and became completely sightless as a teenager. Now an award-winning YouTube star and global influencer, Molly shares what it’s like to be a purple-haired, pink-obsessed fashion and makeup lover in a seeing world. She speaks with authenticity and candor about how she tackles the preconceived notions we have around blindness; Molly has made it her mission to make us see her - and ourselves- in a wholly empowering way.

A Leader that I didn't know I would follow
Revisado: 05-09-22
At 25, I was a totally emotional, mental and (I see now) spiritual locked down personal .
It was the year I decided to seek counseling - my parents were getting older and I knew they would need help
as they aged. How did I know? I had been helping both of the cops since I was sixteen.
I knew that I didn't want to be holding on to past emotions and experiences when they would be at their most vulnerable
It's sounds weird as I pounder over the words I've finally written down. I've been laid back on my twin bed in a room where my widowed mom fights dementia in the twin daybed only a few feet away; listening to this courageous, girl who has been fighting a lot more than I've ever had to face. What do we have in common? We had full sight before we slowly lost it.
In 2020, my mom and I got COVID19. She thankfully came out of the hospital further advanaced in her mental loss. I, who suffered at our apartment - alone with my CPAP machine (shout out to my personal ventalater!); I recovered from that condition with pain developing in my right eye. Some how I had detected my retina. The fix was a simple operration. I reacted to something involved and in 2 days had another operation. By the end of the year, it was discovered that there weren't any need for further operations .... Mauling degeneration of the optic nerve. Best eye sight: 25/400 with the best contact they could make. And it would only get worse.
I shared all this to get across the gratefulness that I feel as I listened to this spunky young person shared her experiences with dealing with different aspects of sightlessness. I hadn't learned how to 'make do' with this condition and here was someone who had been there, done that, and kicking it up a notch.
Way to go teacher! Thanks!

Historia
Think of The War of Art as tough love...for yourself. Since 2002, The War of Art has inspired people around the world to defeat "resistance"; to recognize and knock down dream-blocking barriers and to silence the naysayers within us. Resistance kicks everyone's butt, and the desire to defeat it is equally as universal. The War of Art identifies the enemy that every one of us must face, outlines a battle plan to conquer this internal foe, then pinpoints just how to achieve the greatest success.

Surprised at the known answer
Revisado: 05-07-22
creating is a war. It is rewarding; but requires action. Some of my most intriguing offerings have gone through a process where think "this is stupid, ugly or repetitive - and then, something makes it come alive - unique, beautiful and nothing like I thought it would be I can" T trust someone else to say it"s finished ... but something does tell me to stop ... that what it has become is enough. No matter what came out of yesterdays work, does not mean that today's work can be ignored today. It twists my personhood until something is reveal. Something beyond my plan and power, hidden until the last stroke of the keys, the writing utencal, the brush or the movement ... thing it is something that stands apart from me. And something tells me that it is enough
