Bøger af Terry Wilson

In this sixth collection, Terry Wilson writes about a fish that became an elephant and how this is better than becoming a human. We all want to be elephants someday. This is poetry about the holes in life rather than the whole of life, and what we see through them.

Confessions of a Failed Saint can be both hilariously funny and poignantly tender hearted. From a Catholic girlhood to adventures in the New Age, Buddhism, and beyond, Wilson turns a writerly eye to investigate what makes us human. Humor leads to wisdom as Wilson discovers what makes us tick--and what tickles our funny bones. Reading Terry Wilson's work reminds us that food, nature, religion, friends and family are here to enliven us. - Miriam Sagan, author of "GOSSIP" and "Searching for a Mustard Seed."

In The Lane and Other Poems, readers are transported to a unique setting: opposite a sobering-up unit in the heart of Adelaide's CBD. Amidst the nightly commotion and close encounters with the rawness of humanity, one might expect tales of chaos. Yet, these poems are imbued with the serenity of nature, the whisper of trees, and the vast expanse of the sky. The moon, a recurring muse, casts its gaze upon the world below, often reflecting on the crowns of human heads. While the collection does not shy away from the grittier aspects of life, presenting poignant portraits of individuals in turmoil, it also captures moments of genuine connection. The author's interactions with many of these souls, from casual conversations to a memorable embrace and blessing from an African spiritualist, add depth and humanity to the narrative. This anthology is a testament to finding beauty and connection in unexpected places, and the resilience of the human spirit amidst adversity.

I wrote a book for new and experienced agents called Hiking the Real Estate Trail. It's chock full of information to help you get your business up and running or keep it going. What it lacked, however, was a field guide that you could take on the hike with you. That's the purpose of this guide. So welcome to the Hiking the Real Estate Trail Companion Guide. Before we get started let's talk about how this guide can help you succeed in real estate. To develop the proper habits, you will use this guide for 66 days. The day field is left blank, so you can start anytime. Simply fill in the first day and get hiking. Each morning you will enter the activities for the day and track how you're doing. If you need ideas for inexpensive or free lead generation ideas, check out page 28. There are 50 inexpensive ways to build your business. (with apologies to Paul Simon). Each day you will fill in the morning section regarding what your activities will be to lead generate for the day, track your progress and then in the evening review how the day went. You can keep your notes regarding your lead generating activity on the facing page along with notes for what worked and didn't work and what needs to be improved. There is a six-day running total that you'll add to each day, so you can see your progress. Why not seven days? Because everybody needs a day off!! On the sixth day you'll do a quick review of what went right, what went wrong, what scripts and types of meetings worked, and which didn't. Basically, you're adjusting as you go so you don't get too far down the wrong path before you realize you're lost and frustrated. Finally there is a guidebook for both new and experienced agents to help you follow the winding trails of building your real estate business or blaze new trails. It's easy to follow and can work with any system you currently use, but now you can have it with you and make notes and ponder your success (and failures) while on the go. Could you use your phone? Sure, but think how easily distracting and a time waster it can be. Use this guide for 66 days and your business will reach new heights and you'll cover more ground. Think of it as your ultimate take-along field guide while hiking the real estate trail.

Perilous Passage is an account of Terry Wilson¿s lifetime apprenticeship under the master shamanic practitioner, Brion Gysin, the hidden master of the avant-garde, of whom William Burroughs said, ¿He is the only man I respect.¿ The book focuses on events as they developed just prior to and after Gysin¿s death in 1986 and details the extreme psychic `Third Mind¿ eff ects known as `The Process.¿ Perilous Passage is a cautionary tale about the uses and abuses of power, a paranoid espionage thriller that includes transcribed audio hallucinations, notes, cutups, interview format, and collaged material. Like Gysin and Burroughs, Wilson treats language itself as a parasitic invader which must be resisted, broken up and reassembled. This book is about how Gysin¿s magic was passed on and is being carried into the future.

Growing up in rural Yorkshire in the 1940s and 50s, Terry Wilson spent his school days hunting down Just William books, cutting up apples to help with fractions and staring out the window dreaming up new schemes. But it was on the Dales themselves that Terry came into his own. Whether he was 'out-fishing' the adults with his homemade rod, grouse-beating for the lady of the manor, helping to bring in the farmers' hay in exchange for rabbit shooting rights, or growing his own prize caulis, his idiosyncratic and inventive mind is only matched by his love of nature. Told with affection, dry humour and a respect for the landscape and its people, through Terry's eyes we meet farmers, mill owners and 'gentlemen of the road'. Beautifully illustrated with newly-commissioned line-drawn illustrations by Don Grant, A Boy's Own Dale is a magical memoir of a long-lost world.
