  Human Nature

  The poems in Human Nature offer a stunning and tender ecology. It’s impossible to turn away from the awe and beauty, even as the poems also engage in playfulness and grief and resistance. In these deeply spiritual poems, the body is intricately bound to the natural world. As readers of this work, we can feel both the immense power and smallness of our human hands trembling in each shimmering line. 
  —Stacey Waite, author of Butch Geography 
  Embodying a rainbow of emotions, the poetry of Paschold grounds the reader to the world around them and those that inhabit it, big and small. 
  —Joel Sartore Photography - Office Staff 
  Julie Paschold takes a bold swing right in the title of her collection Human Nature, the delineation of which has been the prime ambition of literary folks since the first someone put pen to paper. Even, or especially, when “[w]e thin-skinned hairless beings” look outside ourselves at spiders and crocodile icefish, we also hold up a mirror in order to study our own reflection. Who can’t at times identify with “a prairie vole, / popcorn of the prairie, / . . . everything is out to eat me”? And it’s not just our fellow critters we see ourselves in: Even “[t]he sky has a sliver caught in her thumb.” It's this commonality which drives the poems and helps us understand where and how we fit in. 
  —JV Brummels, author of All the Live-Long Day

  "Why do we want to dominate or be subservient to another? - 20 August 1949  
  • Why is it that we dominate, consciously or unconsciously? 
  • To submit oneself to another is the negative form of domination. We shall not 
  be able to solve this problem by thinking in terms of opposites. 
  • Is not domination a process of isolation, which denies relationship? 
  • Can there be relationship between two people if there is any sense of 
  domination or submissiveness? 
  • Q: Is not the experience of the past a help towards freedom and right action in 
  the present? 
  • Q: Is my believing in survival after death a hindrance to liberation through self- 
  knowledge? 
  • Q: Why is it certain individuals identify themselves with you or with your state 
  of being and thereby gain authority for themselves?"

  At twenty-five, activist Cristina Moon faced an impossible task: preparing for the possibility of arrest and torture inside military-ruled Myanmar. Her response? Learning Buddhist meditation. So began what would become a decades-long spiritual path—eventually leading her to a Zen temple and martial arts dojo in Hawai'i with a timeless method of warrior Zen training. 
   
   
   
  Offering a bracing account of three years of mind-body-spirit training at Daihonzan Chozen-ji, a Rinzai Zen temple and martial arts dojo, Moon powerfully captures the rigors and realizations that finally shaped her into a Zen priest whose highest directive is to give fearlessness. 
   
   
   
  Told with immersive detail and an unique Asian American female perspective, Three Years on the Great Mountain chronicles Moon's straight-up-the-mountain training regimen at Chozen-ji, conducted every day and often through the nights. Through the spiritual forging of daily Zen meditation, manual labor, swordsmanship, and Japanese tea ceremony, she discovers a newfound conviction that self mastery and spiritual growth can take fierce form. Embraced by local Hawai'i and Japanese culture, and a community of discipline, respect, and discovery, she discovers a profound sense of home.
