Thoughts from a Damaged Mind is a poetic collection that narrates existentialism through the eyes of a unique and personal experience. With a familiar and relatable language, the poet describes a deep feeling of isolation and estrangement towards the societal norms through which people are bound to be considered sane, whole, and normal. As the poet interrogates himself on many questions - how should we live our lives?What is the meaning of happiness? - an inner dark and unwelcomed guest seems to take over every positive emotion. The unwelcomed guest is depression, an illness that is too often stigmatized and misunderstood to the point of being compared to lack of determination rather than accepted as a problem afflicting one's mental health. The poet accepts it and comes to terms with his condition, and thanks to family, friends, and doctors he can begin to demolish the walls of loneliness that surround him and start a path towards recovery.
Imagine a world that feels like the one you cherished as a child: a world full of wooden bridges perched over wild rivers, folk songs sung into the wreathing branches of evergreens, fruits and vegetables tumbling off of farmers' trucks and into warm 'tartes aux pommes' and homemade lasagnas. Imagine a world where gardening means friendship and a refreshing cup of tea, a wheelbarrow full of kale, scampering goats, and neighboring pigs. Imagine celebrating every day - following your bliss and delighting as that path promises a well-worn bicycle and a blackberry patch absolutely bursting with lush berries. Just imagine! All of it is possible. Nothing about it cannot be lived fully, enjoyed deeply, forever. Bienvenue! Welcome to the beautiful French village where four young activists from different backgrounds turn their attention to protecting the forest, river, and wildlife where they live, with big dreams for the world. Their efforts mirror the 'green revolution' that people everywhere are ready to embrace, to re-imagine our footprint on planet Earth, to counteract the destructive nature of factory farms, and instead make choices that reflect our highest values. But you don't have to imagine! We can all take inspired action and live harmoniously. Just turn the front cover of this book and join the adventure!
