Product Description
Insightful and heartwarming true stories from a twentieth-century life fill these pages. Oklahoma author Armin Saeger’s Quaker roots shape the man he becomes and the work he undertakes. These real-life snapshots take us from early childhood, in Oklahoma and Missouri as well as Philadelphia, through WW II experiences as a Conscientious Objector, then into the author’s professional life as a social worker and psychotherapist. He reveals compassion, intelligence, and humor in Sowing My Quaker Oats. Experience with him the pains and joys of life, and step into history rarely heard: the Dust Bowl, the Great Depression, human guinea pig experiments with infectious hepatitis and frostbite, the civil rights movement, Native American issues in the 1960s, individual and group mental health approaches, and see the toad that jumped too far.
Customer Reviews
The settings may be difficult for a younger person to visualize, but Armin offers incredibly personal, disarmingly real descriptions of situations and decisions made searching for a way to honestly integrate the body, the mind and the Spirit.Just "growing up" confronted with economic depression and the political extremes leading to WW II, he choses a career(s) in which he confronts the unfairness and the contradictions that deflate and often defeat the search for ways to make sense of what confronts us.These stories also convey how each of us, maybe on our way to the prom, or as a CO "guinea pig" for medical research, or in an elevator on Capital Hill, literally might put not only our life, but more importantly the meaning of our life, on the line.Written in a clear, thoughtful style, Armin's descriptions are shared in a manner that seems intended to encourage and enable us, the readers, to annotate our own experiences as we travel our own journeys.Read and reread - aloud. This journal encourages us to pay attention as much as we dare. And then to share.
