Body, Spirit, and Democracy

By: Don Johnson

Body, Spirit and Democracy addresses how can we, of different ethical values, spiritual commitments, and ethnic backgrounds, work together to create a more humane world. The unique perspective on this common concern is from the author's lifetime of work within the family of body-therapies, exercise and movement disciplines that emerged in Northern Europe and the United States during the middle of the 19th Century. In the spirit of 12-step meetings and Native American circles, the author tells a number of stories of his and others' journeys, which illustrate how the most seemingly abstract spiritual notions about life are distilled from dense bodily experience. By connecting the flesh of stories with the abstractions of spiritual and philosophical viewpoints, the author situates himself among the many activists, intellectuals, artists, and religious workers who are working towards accustoming people to embracing spiritual diversity as more healing than the monistic alternatives.

The Johnson Journals - the Book

By: Don A. Johnson,Faye Whitbeck,Byrne Johnson

Sturgeon's Law: "90% of everything is crap." Theodore Sturgeon - 1958 Byrne Johnson has extracted this material from journals and letters written by his father, Don Johnson, a pioneer to Rainy Lake on the Minnesota - Ontario border. This volume covers the years from 1936 through 1957 as he moved from the position of caretaker at a private boys' camp to caretaker and boatman for a wealthy industrialist's summer estate. In 1945 he, along with his wife and children, created a small island resort. The following year he turned over the operation of the resort to his wife, Layna, and their children and became the captain of a two story houseboat moored to shore on the Canadian side of the lake where the Minnesota and Ontario Paper Co. entertained customers, executives and their guests. His winter work involved working with pulpwood truckers and scalers at the company storage yard. It also chronicles his experiences as U.S. Coast Guard lamplighter maintaining nearly 50 miles of aids to navigation on the American side of Rainy Lake. This is a rare look at a place of great beauty off of the beaten path, much of which has since become a part of Voyageurs National Park. It is presented in the words of an extremely literate and witty man who shares his joys as well as his disappointments and bouts with melancholy. A keen observer of nature and human nature, his words are scrupulously honest. For most of these years he wrote about 100 words a day in page-a-day journals where he commented on his day's activities, his family life and often with pithy comments on the book he was reading or the movie he had just seen.
