Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Almost Universe is a mythic origin story about how wisdom is formed, carried, and passed forward. Rooted in Appalachian cadence and written with the gentle clarity of a creation myth, the book follows the Tortoise - the oldest, slowest, and most patient of beings - as he gathers the lessons of the world and shapes them into thirteen animals who will one day guide the children back into balance.The story begins with the world slipping out of rhythm when the ancient thirteen-moon calendar is replaced by twelve uneven months. "The world slipped out of rhythm," the text says, and the children slowly forget the quiet truths that once came naturally. To restore harmony, the Tortoise draws on the long memory etched into his shell and begins shaping the animals, each one born from a need, a longing, or a missing piece in the one who came before.The Owl is created first - not one of the thirteen, but the companion who helps the Tortoise see the whole picture. Together they form the Council of Two, a pair who understands that creation requires both wisdom and imagination. From their conversations comes the Frog, the first of the thirteen, who embodies persistence and the courage to leap even when the landing is uncertain. Each animal follows in a chain of need: the Bird for courage and perspective, the Roadrunner for speed and forward motion, the Bear for strength and leadership, the Fox for strategy, the Squirrel for preparation, the Bookworm for curiosity, the Hyena for whole-picture understanding, the Possum for rest, the Raccoon for energy and discipline, the Coyote for resilience, and the Mouse for quiet observation.Each creature arrives with a gift - and a gap. Each one asks the same question: What do I need that I do not yet have? Their answers shape the next animal, creating a lineage of lessons that form a complete circle of becoming. The final figure, the Groundhog, stands slightly apart, embodying repetition, rhythm, and the steady return that turns learning into identity.In the second half of the book, the animals gather in a great circle and finally understand their purpose. They are not separate beings but interconnected teachings, meant to be learned in cycles and returned to again and again. The Tortoise and Owl divide them into groups of three, each triad representing a system of emotional, physical, or spiritual growth. The Groundhog watches over them all, ensuring the lessons repeat until they become part of the child's bones.The Almost Universe is a story of becoming - a mythic framework for understanding growth, emotion, resilience, and identity. It blends neuroscience with folklore, animal symbolism with gentle philosophy, and ancient rhythm with modern emotional truth. It reads like a creation myth, a guidebook, and a whispered reminder that the world still teaches us "in small voices, if we learn to listen."It is a universe built not from magic, but from meaning - a place where every creature carries a lesson, every lesson forms a cycle, and every cycle brings the reader closer to who they are becoming. The Almost Universe is a mythic story about becoming-told through the creation of thirteen symbolic animals shaped from the Tortoise's long memory. When the world slips out of rhythm, the Tortoise and Owl form a council and imagine This item is printed on demand.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The KT doesn't care who you were last time. It only cares who shows up today. Out here, the rules are simple: follow the blaze, trust the trail, and don't step on the turtle. The yellow-white-yellow or white-yellow-white marks on the trees aren't decoration-they're a promise. A direction. A reminder that someone came through before you, and someone will come after. The jars of fireflies aren't magic, not really. They're just light borrowed from the woods, set down by runners who needed a little help seeing their own way forward. The waterfall doesn't cheer. The hills don't care. The trail doesn't bend for you. And yet-somehow-it meets you exactly where you are.Just Seconds: The Dual Run Edition brings together two intertwined journeys across the same rugged miles of the Kanawha Trace. One run is real: sweat, nerves, laughter, roots, rocks, and the quiet truths that rise when you're deep in the woods with nothing but your breath and your thoughts. The other run is mythic: guardians in the trees, stories carried in the dirt, echoes of every runner who has ever stepped onto this trail. These two voices-human and mythic-trade places, overlap, and weave together until you can't tell where one ends and the other begins.This is a book about running the same course twice and discovering it's never the same. It's about the moments you missed, the ones you carried, and the ones that changed you without asking permission. It's about the KT itself-how it watches, remembers, and quietly shapes the people who move across it. Whether you're a first-time runner, a returning veteran, or someone who simply loves the strange magic of the woods, this story invites you into a world where every mile holds a memory, every blaze holds a message, and every step brings you closer to the person you're becoming.This is the KT. It remembers more than you think. "The KT doesn't care who you were-only who shows up today. Follow the blaze, trust the trail, and run the miles that change you. Two runs, one story: the trail remembers more than you think." This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The Almost Universe is a mythic story of becoming - a gentle, symbolic journey through the lessons that shape a life. Beginning with the ancient creation of the Thirteen Animals, each formed from the tortoise's long memory and the owl's far-seeing wisdom, the book reveals how patience, courage, curiosity, rest, resilience, and awareness entered the world. As the text explains, the tortoise "learned every lesson held within the thirteen moons" and shaped each animal from "a teaching, or a truth earned through seasons of observation" .From this origin, the story shifts into the lives of children who meet these animals in quiet, magical moments - a basketball player learning persistence from the Frog, a volleyball player learning perspective from the Bird, a wrestler learning steadiness from the Bear, and more. Each encounter becomes a small awakening, echoing the book's reminder that "practice is not punishment; it is the doorway to becoming capable" .At the center of the cycle stands the Groundhog, the keeper of repetition and renewal, who teaches that growth is not linear but rhythmic - a truth reflected in the line: "Every cycle begins again. Someone must choose when to start" .Blending folklore, psychology, and gentle myth, The Almost Universe invites readers of all ages to see themselves with more curiosity, more patience, and more possibility. It is a story about noticing, trying, resting, adapting, and beginning again - a modern parable for anyone learning who they are and who they are becoming. The Almost Universe follows the creation of Thirteen Animals and the children they guide. Each animal teaches a lesson-persistence, courage, curiosity, rest, resilience-showing that becoming happens in cycles, one quiet moment at a time. This item is printed on demand.
