You might also get a sense that you are on autopilot while reading this book because it’s Dave’s voice that I hear when I’m reading each word. If that’s the case, these chapters fly by because the stories are engrained already in your head. For fans of the bands that he was in, some of these stories may already be familiar to you, especially if you have ever watched past interviews with him, or watched the series Sonic Highways, or the documentary Foo Fighters: Back And Forth. Dave’s existence and rise to fame is chronicled through each chapter in the book The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music. He’s the happy go lucky musician with the big smile that use to sit behind the skins for Nirvana and now leads one of the biggest bands in the world-Foo Fighters. “What was the last thing the drummer said before getting kicked out of the band? Hey, guys, I wrote a song I think we should play!!”

At the opportune moment, tigers pounce on their prey, take it to the ground and finish the kill by breaking or biting the neck.

Tigers are adept swimmers and have even been recorded hunting in the water. When tigers are found in close proximity to humans, they may also feed on domestic animals, such as cattle or goats. Tigers are ambush predators that rely on stealth and strength to take down prey. These apex predators primarily hunt large ungulates, such as wild boar and deer, but are also known to consume monkeys, buffalo, sloth bears, leopards and even crocodiles.

How we approach "the other," and how we approach each other, will shape everything, including out own evolving self and the cosmos in which we participate.”Ĭosmos and Psyche: Intimations of a New World View Our world view and cosmology, which defines the context for everything else, is profoundly affected by the degree to which all out faculties–intellectual, imaginative, aesthetic, moral, emotional, somatic, spiritual, relational–enter the process of knowing. Perhaps we must go not only high and far but down and deep. For the whole being, body and soul, mind and spirit, is implicated. But to understand life and the cosmos better, perhaps we are required to transform not only our minds but our hearts. “Humanity's "progress of knowledge" and the "evolution of consciousness" have too often been characterized as if our task were simply to ascend a very tall cognitive ladder with graded hierarchical steps that represent successive developmental stages in which we solve increasingly challenging mental riddles, like advanced problems in a graduate exam in biochemistry or logic. |
