Fractures and Echoes is a project based simply on the author’s story of learning and growing. This project has been about the nudges to share with others the author’s own hard-learned lessons. It is written through the lens of conversations between a student and his teacher. The student is young and highly inexperienced. His reliance upon his teacher’s guidance brings him to moments of deep reflection of his motives and intentions. The student is consistently challenged to prove his resolve in his commitments. In the face of the wisdom of his teacher, the student’s true heart is revealed.

Each conversation is designed to stand alone and allow the reader the opportunity to reflect through his own experience. Each entry is a one page spread, with intention, to cater to a reader that may have limited time for leisure. In this way, the reader is provided with thoughtful seeds to consider that are elicited by new perspectives, emotional responses, or a combination therein.

The reader is invited to actively participate with the entries. The meditative format presented provides guidance in the creation of a space that allows the reader to attune to the lessons and awareness that may be received. Whether the reader chooses to read one page to the next or simply a single entry as so moved, there are guiding questions to prompt deeper reflections. The motivation is to allow the reader to open to the ways and nuances that each entry's lessons have operated in the reader's own life. As an adjunct, the reader will be provided with conscious language to give expression to insights that the reader might not otherwise have had access to.

Fractures and Echoes is intended to be the first installment of fifty entries with four additional volumes to follow. Each volume will build to capture a progression in the quality of the student’s questions. Through the course of this series, the student is offered the opportunity to become the teacher, passing along all that has been learned to another generation.

About the Author

Coninyah was born in Chicago in 1974 to a family that valued education and service. Though he was raised by a single mom, alongside his sister, Coninyah learned at an early age to question why he felt disconnected from his family and from himself. His formative years were shaped by his affinity for poetry, science, and athletic competition. After graduating high school in Wheaton, Maryland in 1992, he graduated in 1996 from the United States Military Academy at West Point with a Bachelor of Science degree in General Engineering. Coninyah then spent 5 years as a military police officer in the US Army, which challenged his perspective of who he thought himself to be.

Resigning from the military left Coninyah questioning who he was outside of the context of the army. Traveling from job to job, he found his way to New Mexico where he earned a Master of Science in Oriental Medicine in 2006. Coninyah, along the way, also found teachers who would be instrumental in his course corrections. He would work to lay down dysfunctional habits of distraction and engage what would be his life’s work that continues to unfold. Coninyah now teaches meditation and is a practitioner of the healing arts.

The beginning….
Format: Kindle
….of the Charlie and Nick story. And my first graphic novel. Having watched the tv series, thought I would read the book series. The drawings are cute, and of course with those graphics it’s a very quick read. Enjoyed it.

A beautifully written and illustrated tale of kindness, courage and (imaginary) friendship
Format: Hardcover
A beautifully written and illustrated tale of kindness, courage and friendship (even if the friend is in your imagination). This is a great picture book for building self-esteem and for helping early learners to discover ways to overcome obstacles by showing how upbeat confidence boosting self-talk is the way to go. I adore this beautiful family and how the climb up the slide's stairs is so relatable-you just feel the endless up, up, up as you ascend, like climbing up the stairs of the high dive and looking down and just that whoosh of fear that vertakes you from the seemingly dizzying height. I love the kindness on all the adults' faces and the cute expressions from the child. The lion is magnificent. I love that it gives shape to a child’s imaginary friend and that this friend is a true safety net -which is really the child being their own safety net. The end pages are bright orange and sunny, using the cute lion face in the pattern and all the illustrations, which are predominantly blue and yellow/orange illustrations are the perfect backdrop for the tumble of dark curls on the child’s head which allow the size of the lion to appear gigantic, and yet, calm and sweet like a kitty cat. Very sweet book! I love its message of bravery, confidence building and how you can truly be your own best friend.

Sweet Story about facing your fears!
Format: Hardcover
A trusted comrade, a little girl’s lion is always there. Her lion helps her through times of stress, or if she makes a mistake, or if she is nervous. A girl and her lion, the dream team! One day the little girl goes on a new adventure, a brand new slide arrived at the playground and she can’t wait to try it with Lion. The ladder is a bit taller than she thought and with every climb, uncertainty starts to creep in. This slide is so high! How will we ever get down? The young girl wonders. Turning back towards Lion (since this is usually the part her brave lion steps in to help) she notices that he is afraid too! This is such a sweet story about facing your fears! I love the bright yellow and orange with blue color palette. Having a lion inside to symbolize bravery is such a wonderful way to help young readers with facing their fears. We love to teach our children that fear is a healthy response, it’s a message that our body is giving us! It is also healthy to work past that fear (although sometimes we need some help doing just that).
