Book excerpt: Life in Pacific Grove: Book 2 makes deeper connections to our community through special essays by local authors, in areas of their own interests--plus personal stories. With these stories, the "Butterfly Effect" continues to transform us, and as the monarchs make part of their transformation in our Butterfly Sanctuary, and as we write and share our stories with each other, we all become something more beautiful than before. I hope you enjoy what we have put together--for you and for the generations to come. I'm a firm believer in the power of story to change our lives, the lives of people around us, and those of future generations. Thank you all for your story contributions to the Pacific Grove Books and to our beloved City of Pacific Grove, Butterfly Town U.S.A. - Patricia Hamilton, 2018 Life In Pacific Grove, California, Book 2 CONTENTS "The Butterfly Effect" Revisited - Patricia Hamilton vii Section 1- SPANNING GENERATIONS 1 With our quaint Victorians and a major annual event called "Good Old Days," Pacific Grove is obviously a town with one foot planted firmly in the past. But we Pagrovians have always had the other foot just as firmly anchored in the now, facing the future. Explore a few of our beloved local traditions and institutions: the library, Feast of Lanterns, the real person behind Robert Down Elementary School, the night Paris came to P.G., and more. Section 2 - THOSE HIPPIE TRIPPY 1970s 62 Tune in, turn on and go trippin' for a heady look at the 1970s, when Pacific Grove boasted the largest collection of hippies between San Francisco and Los Angeles. From hootenannies to the Monterey International Pop Music Festival to the early days of Tillie Gort's, it's a groove, Daddy-o! Section 3 - A WRITER'S DREAM TOWN 108 Beautiful scenery to tempt the muse ... a good, dependable local bookstore and library ... a lively coffee house scene ... kindred spirits for support and encouragement ... and a rich literary tradition. When it comes to meeting the needs of a writer, Pacific Grove is the ideal haven. Section 4 - DEEPER CONNECTIONS AROUND TOWN 160 Where else but Pacific Grove could you find a falconer on the city payroll, or a life-size sculpture of a gray whale, or a business with a name that translates to "textile zoo"? All this and more to interest and intrigue you as we take a stroll around town. Section 5 - ADVENTURES ON MONTEREY BAY 248 From a calm day on the rocky shores at Perkins Park to the panic on a stranded boat at the mouth of the bay, explore sea life in the depths of the Great Canyon, experience a life or death encounter with a sea lion, and cook up the tastiest fish you'll ever eat. Section 6 - spirits in motion 268 Feeding the soul, nurturing the body--Pagrovians find a balanced spiritual life through our many houses of worship, mindfulness of our origins, and a gentle and ancient movement.
Download or read book Pacific Grove written by Kent Seavey and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pacific Grove, in the pine forests on the westernmost tip of Monterey Bay, is a magnet for wildlife, tourists, and scientists. Site of the first operational lighthouse in California and the first marine laboratory on the Pacific Coast, its beaches attracted camp meetings in the 19th century. Rows of tent housing that lined the original streets grew into charming neighborhoods of seaside cottages, lit annually by the Feast of Lanterns since 1905. Botanical and biological splendor attracted scientists like Edward Flanders Ricketts, made famous by his friend and one-time Pacific Grove resident John Steinbeck. Each year hundreds of groups use its famous conference center, Asilomar, and each fall tens of thousands of Monarch butterflies make a 2,500-mile journey to hang from the pines in great clusters of wafting wings.
Book Synopsis The Wages of Love by : J. Arthur Bankston
Download or read book The Wages of Love written by J. Arthur Bankston and published by BookLocker.com, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-11-30 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nathan Whitehurst is a married and devoted pastor who loves the people of his church and the Lord he serves. But he also loves Sumiko, a woman who is not his wife, who has become the passion in his every breath and heartbeat. He no longer wants Jolene, not a kiss, not a hug, not a word of kindness. He looks at her with utter contempt, a contempt already in place when Sumiko came into his world. The church perceives that Nathan and Jolene are the perfect Christian couple. So, how can they greet the congregants standing side by side with smiling faces, then go their separate ways to the arms of others? How can she profess allegiance to the faith when she imagines Jesus as nothing more than a myth? How can he stand in the pulpit to preach the Gospel or counsel others on the sanctity of marriage? Then again, how can he not? The ministry is his calling, a calling that is deep and abiding. Nathan’s spirit is in turmoil, his emotions a study in paradox: love and hate, commitment and abandonment, freedom and bondage, honor and betrayal. He and Sumiko are convinced that fate has made them one, and fate cannot be ignored or dismissed. They believe to the cores of their beings that at the hours of their births, they were tethered by the gods to a virtual string, the red string of fate, that wound its way through nations and decades, then crossed a mighty ocean, yet never broke or frayed. Thus, Nathan is persuaded that Sumiko is his destiny, and Sumiko is persuaded that Nathan is hers. The pastor longs to have peace in his soul, but it too often seems that God is now his accuser and accuses without merit. Nathan wrestles with the Lord in defiance, willing to challenge the Almighty for what is written in His word. Foremost is David, who ordered the murder of Uriah so he could lay claim to Uriah’s wife. Yet, the hand-chosen king of the Divine, whom the scriptures declare was a man after God’s own heart was allowed to keep Bathsheba. Why could Nathan not have Sumiko and still pursue the heart of God? Why must he struggle with the fear of eternal Hell? Does it even exist, or is it merely an empty threat to keep God’s children in line? Are we imbued with free will, or are we victims of forced induction, who live in terror of a heinous abyss? Is the Bible simply rules for the mindless, who cannot think and reason for themselves? If it is truly inspired by God, why all the contradictions? Why all the anger and vengeance at the Creator’s behest? If He is not the author of confusion, why is there so much confusion? If living sinless lives is required, did Christ die for our sins in vain? Are the Cross and its purpose only legend? Why should Sumiko be treated as forbidden fruit? For Nathan, it is better to be cast with her to the east of Eden than shackled to Jolene in the splendor of the Garden. Still, no matter how intense his bewilderment, Nathan’s love for the Lord is profound; he cannot bear to be outside His will and presence. He yearns for harmony with Heaven, but Sumiko will not be the price. It is a war of the heart that cannot be won and must not be lost.

Book Synopsis Santa Cruz Trains by : Derek R. Whaley
Download or read book Santa Cruz Trains written by Derek R. Whaley and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-02-26 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once there was an endless redwood wilderness, populated by only the hardiest of people. Then, the sudden blast of a steam whistle echoed across the canyons and the valleys-the iron horse had arrived in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Driven by the need to transport materials like lumber and lime to the rest of the world, the railroad brought people seeking out new ways of living, from the remote outposts along Bean and Zayante Creeks to the bustling towns of Los Gatos and Santa Cruz. Bridges and tunnels marked the landscape, and each new station, siding and spur signaled activity: businesses, settlements, and vacation spots. Summer resorts in the mountains evolved into sprawling residential communities which formed the backbone of the towns of the San Lorenzo Valley today. Much of the history of the locations along the route has since been forgotten. This is their story.
