Podcasts about thirteen ways

#146: In this episode, Frauke sits down with award-winning writer and biologist David George Haskell to talk about his book Thirteen Ways to Smell a Tree. David explains how trees smell, reveals what aromatic language they use to communicate with other living beings, and spells out how we should smell a tree. He then shares what made him decide to write the book, including how we can re-engage with trees and rebuild connections to the natural world. David gives an inspiring answer to the question of which one tree we should smell, and reveals which tree smell is most meaningful to him. They then go deep into two of the thirteen smells in the book, the Green Ash tree and Gin & Tonic, where David reveals some intriguing aromatic stories. He also shares why it's so important to pay attention and invites the listener to engage in practices of smelling (especially with others). David also explains why he chose to include the link between sound and smell to remind us that all of our senses are connected. He reveals what he hopes people will take away from the book, what gives him hope for the future, and what's next for him (hint: it involves flowers!). This is a truly inspiring conversation that you'll want to come back to again and again. Visit David's website: https://dghaskell.com/Visit Blackwell's Bookstore (UK)Listen to Katherine Lehman's musical interpretations of the 13 smells on SoundcloudConnect with David on Instagram @davidgeorgehaskellConnect with David on Facebook: @DavidGeorgeHaskell⁠Get No Place for Plants children's book on Amazon⁠Follow Frauke on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@an_aromatic_life ⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit Frauke's website ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.anaromaticlife.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Learn about Frauke's ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Scent*Tattoo Project

Warwick poet and musician D.K. Mckenzie presents excerpts from his spoken word and music podcast, The Poe Underground, in a Warwick Radio exclusive. In this episode, hear jazz-inspired, original music and the poems Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird by Wallace Stevens, Songs from the Dusk by Russell W. Davenport, and Infinity by D.K. Mckenzie. Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird I Among twenty snowy mountains, The only moving thing Was the eye of the blackbird. II I was of three minds, Like a tree In which there are three blackbirds. III The blackbird whirled in the autumn winds. It was a small part of the pantomime. IV A man and a woman Are one. A man and a woman and a blackbird Are one. V I do not know which to prefer, The beauty of inflections Or the beauty of innuendoes, The blackbird whistling Or just after. VI Icicles filled the long window With barbaric glass. The shadow of the blackbird Crossed it, to and fro. The mood Traced in the shadow An indecipherable cause. VII O thin men of Haddam, Why do you imagine golden birds? Do you not see how the blackbird Walks around the feet Of the women about you? VIII I know noble accents And lucid, inescapable rhythms; But I know, too, That the blackbird is involved In what I know. IX When the blackbird flew out of sight, It marked the edge Of one of many circles. X At the sight of blackbirds Flying in a green light, Even the bawds of euphony Would cry out sharply. XI He rode over Connecticut In a glass coach. Once, a fear pierced him, In that he mistook The shadow of his equipage For blackbirds. XII The river is moving. The blackbird must be flying. XIII It was evening all afternoon. It was snowing And it was going to snow. The blackbird sat In the cedar-limbs. Songs from the Dusk (Movement for an Imaginary Violin) Take me there, take me there—far, far within The scarlet cloisters of the clouds, hung over This glassy water-terrace rimmed with clover, O my imaginary violin! It cannot hush, it cannot hush—as thin, As wild, as sweet as miracle! Mad lover, My heart must almost perish to discover What ecstasy of wine we are—what kin. Yet you grow slow aloft, and falter—fall. I scarcely hear, I scarcely hear at all Those drops of tone. Warblers and swallows call Across the water, drawing shore to shore; The woodpecker; the dusk. Oh, play one more— One more—one more—one more note! That is all. Infinity Death pulls me one way You tug me the other Your giant eyes dance Bust forth with black hole gravity Atomic fusion is your smile with a voice of combustion There you go with the laughter of a thousand earthquakes Rattling the ground beneath your feet Never exhausting your gate of storms and fire Your kiss however is the thing The most powerful thing that topples the world And keeps the oceans from flowing The poison of time is postponed and so is death The universe is on hold when we're together We are immortal dancing, spinning, embracing Through the constants of infinity and true love Visit The Poe Underground ⁠⁠website⁠⁠.

Today we're diving into how shifting from narratives to perspectives can enhance self-improvement, mindfulness, and mental health. In a world filled with stories, narratives help us make sense of chaos. But what if these stories are holding us back? Humans are natural storytellers, but narratives can sometimes restrict our thinking and offer a false sense of order. Today, we'll uncover how embracing perspectives over rigid narratives can lead to greater personal growth, mindfulness, and mental well-being.  Narratives and Their Impact on Mental Health Narratives provide structure, turning mundane events into meaningful stories. Philosophers  argue that our lives inherently have a narrative structure, crucial for understanding our actions. Yet, these narratives can limit our freedom and hinder mental health by simplifying the complexity of life. Narrative therapy addresses these issues by helping people construct new, more helpful stories about their lives. However, it often merely swaps one narrative for another. To truly enhance mental well-being, we must explore possibilities beyond storytelling. Mindfulness and Perspectives Mindfulness encourages us to live in the present, embracing each moment without judgment. Living in the now. By shifting focus from narratives (some of which may be deliberately false) to perspectives, we engage the world more mindfully, similar to how poetry captures non-linear experiences. Perspectives, shaped by beliefs and values, allow for a flexible understanding of our lives, and the lives of others. This is imperative, especially now. Wallace Stevens, ' "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird" illustrates how different perspectives offer varied insights into the 'same reality'. Embracing mindfulness through perspectives helps us find significance in the present, enhancing mental health, self-awareness as well as awareness of others. Self-Improvement and Personal Growth Self-improvement thrives on personal growth and a willingness to challenge limiting narratives. By adopting new perspectives, we open ourselves to diverse experiences, fostering resilience and adaptability. This shift not only promotes authentic existence but also aligns with the core of self-improvement—embracing change and personal evolution. Understanding the role of perspectives empowers us to redefine our narratives, unlocking new avenues for personal growth and mental well-being.  By focusing on perspectives, we expand our potential and embrace the unpredictability and richness of life.  In shifting from narratives to perspectives, we embrace mindfulness rather than mind numbness and explore the perspectives that enhance personal growth and mental well-being.

Jeff Rich discusses the global conflicts underway and why he thinks this time America will not come out on top as the rest of the world forces change. The West will fight to the death to prevent their decline. Aggressive NATO expansion into Asia can be interpreted as weakness because Washington no longer can sustain its power projection. He comments on the economic transition and the deep state or what he prefers to call the shallow state. As a retired bureaucrat, given his experience, he doubts the success with which the government will be able to implement technocratic projects such as smart cities. We can find more meaningful ways to live our lives by focusing on our own localities. He looks forward to a coming reformulation of the world order.

A note about the poem “13 Ways of Nepantla” from Fernando Trujillo for the Michigan Quarterly Review's Summer 2024 issue: I had been reading Wallace Stevens's Collected Poems, and I kept finding myself back at “Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird,” which was in his first collection. I was struck by the austerity of the poem, in contrast to other works by Stevens. And I kept returning to the second canto, “I was of three minds, / Like a tree / In which there are three blackbirds.” I thought of myself and my community, how so many of us are of two, or even three minds, within the same tree, so to speak. We have our indigenous mind, our Caucasian mind, and our mestizo mind, cutting across both México and the US for me and many in my community. This also, linguistically, applies to my poetic lineage; Neruda en español inspired me as much as Whitman in English as a teenager, Dickinson as much as Lorca. This all contributed to my mindset when I started writing “13 Ways.” Of course my poem is not as tightly structured or imagistic as Stevens'. I'm writing more from sound than image. I'm also attempting to place myself, my experiences, and my family at the center of a poetic lineage, hence all the grabbing from other poets. All-in-all, what I'm trying to do is imagine myself in the song of “América America,” and more than just imagining, writing a place for myself in it.

We've been ​“saving the planet” for decades and environmental crises just continue to compound. All this Tesla driving, green-roofed corporate headquarters, and carbon trading seems to accomplish little to nothing — all while low-income communities of color continue to suffer the worst consequences. Jenny Price is an ardent advocate for increasing public environmental access, activism, and effectiveness in solving the myriad of challenges we face. She joined us in 2022 to talk about her latest book, 'Stop Saving the Planet, An Environmentalist Manifesto' [https://www.jennyjjprice.net/stop-saving-the-planet]. Its message is that environmental advocates must do better. She suggests a plan with 39 steps to get to cleaning up the toxic messes and rolling back climate change. Buy the Book: https://www.jennyjjprice.net/stop-saving-the-planet# Jenny Price is a writer and public artist, and a Research Fellow at the Sam Fox School at Washington University-St. Louis. She tells stories about the environment and public space, and deploys a wide variety of public arts and humanities formats to do so. Her writings include Stop Saving the Planet: An Environmentalist Manifesto (2021); Flight Maps: Adventures with Nature in Modern America; “Thirteen Ways of Seeing Nature in L.A.” and other essays; op-eds in the NY Times and LA Times; and her not-quite advice column “Green Me Up JJ.” She has created, co-created, and sometimes stumbled into public art projects to work for environmental justice, as well as to de-privatize essential public spaces. She has co-founded the LA Urban Rangers collective, led tours of the concrete LA River, designed the alternative Nature Trail in Laumeier Sculpture Park, co-launched the "What Are You Doing?!

The paternal function is one of the most embedded concepts both in the singular dimension of clinical thinking and in the extended of social functioning. It underlies, for example, one of the foundational elements of the psychoanalytic method: the very idea of “Analytic Setting” could not exist without a paternal function.  In today's episode, thanks to the work of Michael J Diamond, we will explore its many aspects, including the construction of a triangular space, the role of the Third in the internal functioning of the subject, and the question of limits. We will also delve into more specific characteristics, such as the tenderness and sensory intimacy between a little boy and his father. We might say that this podcast episode is like a "child" of Michael J Diamond's recent book published by Routledge and entitled: "Masculinity and Its Discontents”, in which he studies, as the subtitle says: “The Male Psyche and the Inherent Tensions of Maturing Manhood”.

Diamond, PhD, FIPA is a Training and Supervising Analyst at the Los Angeles Institute and Society for Psychoanalytic Studies.  His major publications are on psychoanalytic technique and analytic mindedness; masculinity, femininity, and gender theory; fathering and the paternal function; trauma and dissociation; hypnosis and altered states; and group processes and social action. He has written five books including today's featured book on Masculinity and Its Discontents: The Male Psyche and the Inherent Tensions of Maturing Manhood published by Routledge. His most recent book on applied psychoanalysis, Ruptures in the American Psyche: Containing Destructive Populism in Perilous Times, was just published (by Phoenix Publishing).  His other major books include My Father Before Me: How Fathers and Sons Influence Each Other Throughout Their Lives and an edited book on The Second Century of Psychoanalysis: Evolving Perspectives on Therapeutic Action (with Chris Christian). He is the honored recipient of numerous awards for his teaching, writing, and clinical contributions, and has a full-time clinical practice in Los Angeles, California where he remains active in teaching, supervising, and writing.         Selected Recommended Readings for Michael J.

“The father carries the separation function which is very important in terms of progressive differentiation from the mother rather than forceful opposition. It rests on something else that I think that we in psychoanalysis don't take seriously enough - though Peter Blos did when he talked about the isogender attachment. The father also has to be an attracting object to the little boy - not just the separating object, but the attracting object. The little boy wants to desire the father and the love of the father - the whole homoerotic connection with the father, wrestling with the father, touching the father's beard - all the beautiful sensual aspects of the male to male relationships that are inherent in the early dyadic father - son relationship.”     Episode Description: We begin by distinguishing analytic data from social and cultural theorizing. Michael walks us through the early history of psychoanalytic understandings of masculine development. He describes the ‘third wave' of conceptualizations to which he contributed. This  recognizes the formative aspect of the mother's relationship with her internalized masculinity and its reverberations towards her son. He discusses the challenge the little boy faces in acknowledging his gender difference from his mother, a task made more manageable by the dependable presence of his dyadically available father. He presents clinical material that demonstrates the power of the homoerotic transference/countertransference to “activate” a secure masculine identification. This grows into the discovery of “a man's inherent receptivity” which he is careful to distinguish from female receptivity. We close with his sharing with us a bit of his personal history that has led him to be interested in this work.    Our Guest: Michael J. Diamond, Ph.D., is a Training and Supervising Analyst at the Los Angeles Institute and Society for Psychoanalytic Studies.

His forthcoming book on applied psychoanalysis is Ruptures in the American Psyche: Containing Destructive Populism in Perilous Times. His other major books include My Father Before Me: How Fathers and Sons Influence Each Other Throughout Their Lives My and an edited book on The Second Century of Psychoanalysis: Evolving Perspectives on Therapeutic Action (with Chris Christian).

The complete audiobook is available for purchase at Audible.com: https://www.audible.com/pd/B09QTZTHD3 Harmonium By Wallace Stevens Narrated by John Burlinson Harmonium was American poet Wallace Stevens' first book, published when he was 44 years old. It represents his complete poetic output up to that point in his life. It is now considered a masterpiece, one of the great contributions to literary Modernism. It is a mixture of pure, rational, philosophical thought, and imaginary nonsense-verse. It is striking in its diversity and includes some of Stevens' best known and most-loved poems: "Anecdote of the Jar,", "The Emperor of Ice Cream," "Le Monocle de Mon Oncle", "Sunday Morning", “The Snow Man” and perhaps his most famous poem, "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird." When the book was published in 1923, critic Mark Van Doren wrote in The Nation that Stevens's wit "is tentative, perverse, and superfine; and it will never be popular." The past 100 years have revealed the inaccuracy of that prediction; but judge for yourself. We believe that you will not be disappointed. Production copyright 2022 Voices of Today

### Narrowing the topic 1:14 When someone does something inspiring, they encourage the other people in the group to invest in the game. Eran wrote about [The Cycle of Inspiration and Investment](http://www.uptofourplayers.com/2017/09/cycle-inspiration-investment/). We focus on small scale here; We'll discuss large scale in a future episode - campaign creation, developing an idea into an adventure, etc. ### Sources of inspiration 3:34 Pretty much anything you encounter can be a source of inspiration: buildings, people, fictional characters from TV series/Anime/Movies/books [Shadowrun](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadowrun) Write down your ideas in Google Keep. You won't be using all of them, and that's fine. Uri has a file called Bits and Pieces in which he writes down random stuff that seemed interesting at the time. He sometimes delve into it for no reason than be inspired. Uri and his family took a trip to [Ashkelon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashkelon) (Fire and disgrace!). The important thing is to fan the flames of creativity as they arrive. Travel, go to museums, [check out the thread we started in our group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/dwarfpodcast/permalink/600754320285488/). Uri likes to take real places and people and import them into his campaigns. This is a great way to remember many details about a specific location or about the detailed description of a specific NPC. ### Development 14:10 * “Yes and”, - build on what happens * “If this is true, what else is true” - build around what happens * Make strong choices and commit to them - the story and relationships will grow out of it. * “What happened before that can connect to this” * Ask provoking questions [Powered by the Apocalypse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powered_by_the_Apocalypse) ### Randomisation through mechanics 25:53 Even if you don't play these games regularly, you should give them a try, to practice your inspiration skill. * [Once Upon a Time](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/1234/once-upon-time-storytelling-card-game) * [The Quiet Year](https://buriedwithoutceremony.com/the-quiet-year), [Venture Forth](http://drivethrurpg.com/product/227988/Venture-Forth?affiliate_id=29668) * [13th Age](http://drivethrurpg.com/product/118994/13th-Age-Core-Book?affiliate_id=29668)'s Icons * [Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG](http://drivethrurpg.com/product/101050/Dungeon-Crawl-Classics-RPG?affiliate_id=29668) * [Genesys](http://drivethrurpg.com/product/228813/Genesys-Core-Rulebook?affiliate_id=29668) and [Star Wars](https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/starwarsrpg/), [Eran's comics explaining the rules](http://www.uptofourplayers.com/star-wars-rpg-rules/) ### Other suggestions 37:20 Don't keep the cool idea to yourself. Let others participate and build on it - use the cool idea early, and develop it. Done is better than perfect. Use it even before its completely developed. Use the mechanics in surprising ways: e.g. Uri's swashbuckler likes to tailor clothes. Add a few skills or feats for no reason rather than inspiration. [Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird](https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/45236/thirteen-ways-of-looking-at-a-blackbird) ### Taking the load off 41:44 Uri: Pathfinding. Eran: Back to 50 Fathoms! I did [an opening credit segment](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=992MY3sKtWk), was cool. Ev talked a lot about his plans and executions, but it was okay, because the others were engaged.
