Book Synopsis From the Seeds of Sadness by : Gemma M. Geisman
Download or read book From the Seeds of Sadness written by Gemma M. Geisman and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-05-20 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It all began when the Geismans son, Mike, was born with numerous fractures, some of which had occurred in the womb before birth. The cause was osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a genetic disorder that, at the time, was thought to be so rare that the only information the delivering physician could provide was a brief description in a medical textbook. Wanting to share their story about living with this rare disorder, Gemma recounts Mikes life experiences, from his birth to his growing up years, describing with candid detail how caring for Mike was like handling an extremely fragile china doll. She illustrates the difficulties of the lonely, early years, the ambivalent and upsetting feelings and the reluctance to let go as Mike struggled to live a normal and independent life. Believing that her familys experiences with the disease were too valuable not to be shared, Gemma tells of her attempts to get her story published, breaking through finally with a story and two follow-up pieces in Redbook magazine. Gemma also shares how she established, together with other parents, the Osteogenesis Imperfecta Foundation (OIF), the only national organization that sponsors research and serves families affected by OI. From the Seeds of Sadness is a poignant story of unconditional love, of joys and sorrows, and of lessons learned. It recounts the Geisman familys journey through the complexities of raising a breakable baby, how they conquered fear and anguish and turned what they thought to be an agonizing burden into a gift of hope for generations to come. Heart wrenching but inspiring, this memoir is a symbol of courage and hope for others who are facing the difficult challenges of raising a child with an incurable illness

Book Synopsis The Serpent's Plumes by : Adam W. Coon
Download or read book The Serpent's Plumes written by Adam W. Coon and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2024-05-01 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Serpent's Plumes analyzes contemporary Nahua cultural production, principally bilingual Nahuatl-Spanish xochitlajtoli, or "poetry," written from the 1980s to the present. Adam W. Coon draws on Nahua perspectives as a decolonizing theoretical framework to argue that Nahua writers deploy unique worldviews—namely, ixtlamatilistli ("knowledge with the face," which highlights the value of personal experiences); yoltlajlamikilistli ("knowledge with the heart," which underscores the importance of affective intelligence); and tlaixpan ("that which is in front," which presents the past as lying ahead of a subject rather than behind). The views of ixtlamatilistli, yoltlajlamikilistli, and tlaixpan are key in Nahua struggles and effectively challenge those who attempt to marginalize Native knowledge production.

Book Synopsis A Stick and a Stone by : Brown Eagle
Download or read book A Stick and a Stone written by Brown Eagle and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2015-02-25 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18 Sadly, love knows too well the abused, betrayed, neglected, abandoned, rejected, and cheated, just to name a few. Loves gift of joy and trust quickly fades. Loves flame quietly becomes a smoldering ember. Walls are built, a dark fortress within, protects a heart that breaks. A Stick and a Stone was written to reach out to those who are hurting. The path of life these days is not an easy road to travel. Praises lifted that we do not have to travel this road alone. I was abandoned at nine months of age, placed in Saint Vincents Orphanage, and adopted by the age of six. By the age of 14, the streets had become safer. Abuse had become the norm throughout life. A Stick and a Stone was written to help those who are hurting, broken, and crushed in spirit. My prayer is that the messages found in my writings will give others the same strength, hope, and love that I have found in Christ.

Book Synopsis Conversations with Nature by : Peter Owen Jones

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘I will carry this little book in my pocket... I will read the words on London buses and in Dartmoor woods. These across-species conversations are more than reverie, they are participation.’ – Martin Shaw, author of Smoke Hole and Courting the Wild Twin ‘This is a book of profound imagination. Read it and you will know that we humans need to be humble and learn from the greatest teacher, Nature.’ – Satish Kumar, Editor Emeritus, Resurgence & Ecologist ‘Once, we were one form among many in the garden. We learned to hear the voices of the mountains, the rivers, the sky, of silence. The mice spoke, the trees spoke, the stars spoke, the deer and the fox spoke, the snake spoke – and from these words we made being. These words formed great cities and their machines ever clamouring, and we let the silence slip and the words of the whispering world fall away beyond the mirror of our making.’ (From the Prologue.) These eighteen meditations, amplified by Jerry Shearing’s striking illustrations, offer luminous words enlivened with the weight of much listening. Through these ‘conversations’, Peter Owen Jones offers a pathway to reconnect with nature. Just a few sentences a day will provide sustenance for the soul.
Book Synopsis Good=Happiness Bad=Sadness by : Sadhvi Nidhi Shree

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As our soul travels through the four stations of hell, tiryancha, human and heaven, it is accompanied by the two messengers of goodness and badness. The messenger of good thoughts and actions brings happiness; and the messenger of bad thoughts and actions brings sadness, thus Good=Happiness and Bad=Sadness. Hence, we continue to sway constantly from a state of happiness to the other state of sadness. This book brings to light the reasons that lead to happiness and the ones that lead to sadness, thus helping a being in making a conscious choice of correcting one's deeds to attain perennial happiness.

Download or read book Songs of Sadness written by Lalitha Iyer and published by Kohinoor Books. This book was released on 2020-12-25 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book explores the depths of human sorrow in its various shades and layers from a lonely woman’s perspective. Failure in relationships, human betrayal, death of loved ones, suffering from injustice and bitter loneliness of old age etc are beautifully depicted through haunting imagery in these poems. For the poet boundless joy is the default nature of human beings. Sadness is just a manifestation of one’s forgetfulness of one’s true eternal divine nature. Human beings forget their inner divinity due to attachment to the temporary external world. However physical and mental suffering prepares the human heart for ultimate God communion. Underneath the terrible frustration of mundane human existence there is an intense yearning for God realisation. Suffering ceases when the object of frustration is shifted from worldly failures to the pangs of separation from God. These poems with underlying spiritual messages provide a penetrating new interpretation of the universal truths contained in scriptures of all world religions – e.g. Veda, Bible, Gita and Quran. This book has been edited by the Indian poet and translator Dr Tapan Kumar Pradhan, who has also written its foreword and introduction. The book makes a startling revelation regarding Lalitha Iyer's true identity and her relationship with the German poet Antony Theodore and Kashmir poet Hemangi Sharma. Dr Tapan hints at a definite past life relationship with Lalitha Iyer as "Lolita".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the ebook version of One Buddha Is Not Enough. How do we learn to believe in ourselves and not just rely on our spiritual teachers?

It offers fresh and original insight from emerging Buddhist teachers on topics such as how to handle grief, strengthen our relationships with family and friends, deal with anger and other strong emotions, and find happiness in the present moment.

Sometimes all it takes is a wake-up call to remind us of what we are capable.
Book Synopsis Educating for Humanity by : Mike Seymour
Download or read book Educating for Humanity written by Mike Seymour and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time of profound crises around the world, when social justice, peace, democracy and the environment seem under increasing threat, the promise of "a world for all" seems a viable aspiration for education. Ample evidence from many schools today, and dating back throughout the last century, prove that the purpose of educating young people to develop character, compassion, purpose and commitment is integral with the mastery of intellectual skills and life competencies. Schooling, without a doubt, can play a monumental part in the development of the personal values people take with them to the world. Unfortunately, as the saying goes, "if you don't know where you're going, you'll probably get someplace else." Educational policy directions over the last twenty years have veered far away from the important work of educating for humanity. This book makes a powerful appeal to revisit educational purpose in light of what is most fundamental and important to human beings everywhere. The authors address timely issues such as high stakes testing, school choice, and privatization of education in looking beyond these measures to new approaches to educational excellence.
