This book argues that we should regard walking and talking in a single rhythmic vision. In doing so, it contributes to the theory of prosody, our understanding of respiration and looking, and, in sum, to the particular links, across the board, between the human characteristics of bipedal walking and meaningful talk. The author first introduces the philosophical, neurological, anthropological, and aesthetic aspects of the subject in historical perspective, then focuses on rhetoric and introduces a tension between the small and large issues of rhythm. He thereupon turns his attention to the roles of breathing in poetry—as a life-and-death matter, with attention to beats and walking poems. This opens onto technical concepts from the classical traditions of rhetoric and philology. Turning to the relationship between prosody and motion, he considers both animals and human beings as both ostensibly able-bodied creatures and presumptively disabled ones. Finally, he looks at dancing and writing as aspects of walking and talking, with special attention to motion in Arabic and Chinese calligraphy. The final chapters of the book provide a series of interrelated representative case studies.

Two experts explain how anyone can bring their people practices in sync with their missions, visions, and values--and walk the talk. The authors translate difficult concepts and corporate contradictions into personal convictions readers can use in everyday lives, and offer timeless strategy for translating corporate philosophy into policies and actual practices.

Making decisions at any age is not always an easy feat. When you are walking with the Lord Jesus Christ, it makes sense to pray and do the next right thing. As life moves at ninety miles an hour, moving with the flow can set you up to make split-second decisions. Taking what we think is the easy way is often the hardest of all. We are told in 1 Peter 5:7 to cast all our cares on Him because He cares for us. Taking the Jesus way out is always the best way. It may not be the easy that we are looking for, but it will not leave the collateral damage that our way leaves behind. The roads that we walk down in life are covered with attractive billboards drawing us to off-ramps that will lead us to destruction. It is so important to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus Christ as we walk life's highways and byways so we are not lured into the craziness that the world has to offer. Taking life one moment at a time is actually a doable thing. Life moves in seconds, not days. Don't let one trial take you down. Romans 8:13 says that we are more than conquerors, and thankfully, God is a god of do-overs!
