This small book declares that life without music is inconceivable to the vast majority of humankind. It is about the author's learnings, and leanings to and from, his life as a composer, instrumentalist and improviser, with some account of other proclivities, attitudes and artistic work. A short biography provides context to a life spent creatively, eventually in mid-life focussed on musical composition.The authors somewhat idiosyncratic attitude to the composing act, is contrasted with other attitudes discernible in our currently collapsing world. Composing as a creative act is analyzed contextually, but not overly technically, as to overall proportionalities affecting the listeners experience, and balances within the work which the composer must consider, such as between dissonance and consonance.And then there is improvisation, instant composition! And the authors love of trees, which seem to approve of his playing with them. Group improvisation is discussed parallel to an endeavor to create leaderless functional working groups.A couple of prominent modern composers are discussed relevant to the author's musical attitudes: Pierre Boulez (no) and Jonathan Harvey (yes). These are followed by a short note on spirit in music, which leads to the last and largest chapter, a paean on the power of sound in music making, mythmaking, and synesthesia.Appendices include a report on the author's 70th birthday concert; a correspondence with two other composers on life and art music; encomiums and reviews; score samples; and references to recordings which are held on a website opened for the purpose.

In Hakomi with Internal Family Systems and Focusing: A Deeper Look at Mindfulness-Centered Therapies, Hakomi certified therapists J. David Cole and Carol Ladas-Gaskin bring together three revolutionary approaches to body-mind healing and personal growth therapy. Hakomi's mindful, body-centered approach to deep work and its emphasis on compassion, emotional attunement, and presence offers an open foundation that can be seamlessly extended and blended with enhancements from Internal Family Systems and Focusing. Internal Family Systems, developed by Richard C. Schwartz, holds that the personality does not comprise the totality of a human being but is a modular multiplicity of sub-personalities (called "parts") whose first purpose is to respond reactively to protect the whole. This "reactive" personality is imbued with an aware Self that acts creatively to provide compassionate leadership for the whole person including its family of internal parts. Recognition, acknowledgment of, and identification with this Self provides a person with a wider, more grounded perspective within the healing practices of Hakomi. Focusing distinguishes a kind of inner experience that therapist and philosopher Eugene T. Gendlin discovered and called "felt sense." It is an intricate, implicit, relatively subtle but information-rich form of inner experience. "Felt sense" experiences blend emotions, body sensations, and what might be called the ineffable seeds of thought and action into a single sensate presence in the body that often underlies a hunch, intuition or "gut feeling." Learning to become aware of this realm of experience requires mindfulness and patience, but finding and naming the "felt sense" can lead to insights and powerful shifts in perspective enabling creative action steps and self-discovery. This book shows how these game-changing discoveries are now blended into a single method of body-centered therapy based on Hakomi.

Cal Wideman, minister's son, is searching for a faith to replace the Biblical beliefs his parents instilled. His coming-of-age story begins days before Christmas when he arrives back in Chicago after months of roaming around Mexico. His parents ask him to help them reconnect with his younger sister Rachel. She recently left the Christian college she was attending and has moved in with a group they regard as a cult. Cal believes his parents are over-reacting, prodded by the husband of their older daughter. Their son-in-law Jim is an ordained Baptist minister who has become an anti-cult expert employed by a large consultancy serving fundamentalist churches. Cal agrees to act as the the family's emissary delivering a plan for peace talks. The next day he visits Rachel at the alleged commune in an ultra-rich suburb. He receives a polite welcome and learns about the group's reinvention of Christianity based on their study of Biblical texts in Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic. On Christmas Eve, at his parent's house, Cal finds himself playing devil's advocate to defend Rachel's heretical beliefs. The dramatic twist that ensues forces Cal to relive the trauma of losing his religion and, at the same time, to navigate the tensions between faith and reason, freedom and family, memory and imagination-in sum, the world as we find it and the world as we desperately want it to be.
