    "Be thou the well by which I lie and rest;
    
    Be thou my tree of life, my garden ground;
    
    Be thou my home, my fire, my chamber blest,
    
    My book of wisdom, loved of all the best;
    
    Oh, be my friend, each day still newer found,
    
    As the eternal days and nights go round!
    
    Nay, nay—thou art my God, in whom all loves are bound!"
    In 1880, the prolific author George MacDonald self-published a long poem in book form as a gift for his friends. He called it, in full, A Book of Strife in the Form of the Diary of an Old Soul. It contained a new seven-line stanza for each day of the calendar year, written as prayers expressing MacDonald's longings, struggles, and joys in everyday life.
    The Diary was originally printed with a blank page facing every page of poetry so that readers could supplement MacDonald's diary with their own. This feature in particular, along with the spiritual wisdom and literary artistry of the text itself, was beloved by C. S. Lewis, who gave a copy of the book to his future wife, Joy Davidman, as a Christmas gift in 1952.
    Now in this deluxe edition, MacDonald's classic devotional resource is again available with the blank pages he envisioned alongside the complete text. With a new introduction and explanatory notes by historian Timothy Larsen, the beloved writer's prayers find new life for enthusiasts and first-time readers alike.
    
    - Complete text of MacDonald's classic work—one poem for each day of the year
    - Thoughtful layout with a blank page for journaling opposite each poem
    - Introduction and annotations by historian Timothy Larsen
    - Deluxe features including cloth binding and bookmark ribbon

    Chapter 6 - Disconnect - Disconnect is about the psychological action of disconnecting from everything that influences you in a negative manner. To not listen to the thoughts and voices of others who begin to steer your life, but instead, to focus on what you want and what you believe in.  
     
    In short, it is the disconnection from outside influences, replaced with the connection to what's inside. 
     
    Author Bio: 
    Set on creating a worldwide movement and bridging the gap between mental health and EDM music. Open Boundaries looks at music as a piece of the mind, something that transgresses languages, borders and backgrounds, a form of emotive connection that lets people forget, love, release, bring joy, cry, and expose their inner selves. The music itself is a form of expression based on personal self-realizations, with each release being built from pieces of the artists mind and then encapsulated in hard hitting beats, melodic rap flows, highly relatable lyrics and heart-felt vocals, all blended together and realized into in 3 versions; including the exclusively unique 'Message Bound' mixes. 
     
    Each release is then supported by the storytelling within the release of the ‘Chapters’, which define the meaning behind each song. 
     
    The artist remains anonymous for the purposes of being all inclusive to every person out there, there is no connection to any country or any background with all the focus being on the music and the lyrics, rather than the person behind it. This has allowed Open Boundaries to attract a global reach and fanbase who proclaim their devotion to the artist, along with their unwavering support to the ethos behind it.
