Ensoul Matter
“Most of us move through the natural world not realizing that the forms we encounter are not the apparent superficial objects we think they are. They are condensations of meaning, wild poetry created from the dreaming of Earth.” – Stephen Buhner Ensouling Language – The Art of Nonfiction
Buhner’s ardent approach to language emphasizes the power of “invisible happenings” between life forms in our world. He takes you into a world deeper than your psych and shows you how to access a “golden thread” of creativity. That thread leads a writer into touching the vein that holds blood containing the essence of “wild poetry created from the dreaming of Earth”.
In other words, the stuff that matters.
Buhner focuses on environmental and physical studies attributed to self-healing. In this book, he branches out of such topics and addresses the imperative talent a writer must possess. That is, to build a connection with your readers one must learn how to become in-tune with their true essence and allow the words to guide creation instead of directing it. By accessing that part of ourselves, it gives you an ability to connect with your reader. You get to show that you understand and embrace everything they are; cultivating genuine interest of the most authentic part of their being.
My desire is to bring that concept into awareness and emphasize the value it holds. I’d like to implement the morale hidden within his teachings into everyday life.
To me, it’s part of the stuff that matters.
