The main reason Lawrence Cunningham and John Kelsay use a phenomenological view point towards religion is for a better understanding. A better understand on a number of aspects for multiple different religions. The phenomenological approach helps them accomplish this by letting them look at religion in an un-bias way and be totally accepting of that religion’s traditions and ideas of sacred. They state in the text, “At its simplest, a phenomenological approach leads to an effort to understand religious thought and behavior from the point of view of the religious person.”, (Cunningham and Kelsay 4) this means that if that person says that a certain book or object is sacred we take them at their word that that book or object is sacred. Phenomenology is also geared towards creating a framework for understanding religious traditions.
Another maiden kayaker this week, Councilman-elect Mitch O'Farrell, almost capsized during his adventure. "People were downright giddy to get into a kayak on the Los Angeles River," he said. "Even that 2.5-mile has rapids. It takes some concentration. It's a real river.
Herrick goes into much detail about Billy’s calm exterior, his patient and natural approach to life. The cleansing nature of the Creek, the refreshing qualities of water are reinforced by Billy’s time away from the world. When Billy first meets Old Bill they go to Bendarat Creek to wash their clothes and swim. That symbolised the start of their connection, and Old Bill’s rebirth. Also, towards the end of the collection, Billy is confident enough to invite Caitlin and Old Bill to the river, suggesting a new start, a collective connection to each other, as if the water played a part in their coming together.
In many studies that address this issue of Christian based CBT there seems to be the approach that spirituality is only a compliment to secular counseling methods and that the type or religious process involved was not crucial to the process. This was not the case in Tans article, Tan imparts to the reader that the Christian based processes of faith, prayer, scripture and meditation of the word, the will and the power of God were complemented by secular counseling methods to impart greater success in client wellness. “We can observe what the effects of prayer and spiritual understanding are, and advise clients as to how they can use Scripture, how they can worship, and so forth in a way most helpful to them” (Tan, 2007). This aspect of faith and the realness of Gods ability and desire to heal are of primary importance to me as both a Christian and a student of CBT counseling
“I taste a liquor never brewed” by Emily Dickinson describes the importance of nature to her. Through Dickinson’s use of images and figurative language she shows that nature can be as intoxicating as any alcoholic drink. To begin with, Dickinson’s uses of figurative language can be seen throughout the poem. When Dickinson uses figurative language, she also paints images in the minds of her readers. She accomplishes this by describing how she sees summer; “Reeling, through endless summer days, / From inns of molten blue.
She was poor and had a baby that was not her husbands, yet she decided to keep it and it was the savior of the world. I really learned a lot from the “our response” section of the article, because it gave me a new perspective on how to go about talking to be about abortion. I used to try and show them hos it is wrong and awful, but that’s not our main goal. We need to remember that only God can change the hearts of those who do not believe and we must treat those who do not with grace, gentleness, and
For 12 years the three of us have immersed ourselves in the river together. Plunging in, swimming down, enjoying every bead of water covering us. Walking among the trees, dancing, playing, letting music wash over us just as the water does. It is the river, the woods and all of these fine details and engaging stories in my memory that have shaped my life and my heart. As a woman, as a mother and as a tribal, galactic human

Small potions. Nature holds and offers it all. To her - the I of the poem. It´s the air and the dew that make her drunk, that seduce her, that make her tumble. She drinks it, inns everywhere, outside, inside, all summer long.
