Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was January 1, 2000, when author Catherine Kominos received a call from God-an invitation to set sail on an odyssey of discovery, remembrance, and inner growth. Easily seduced by the divine's transcendent gifts, she accepted the invitation. Only after the ship had sailed did the perils of the journey and the sacrifices demanded by it become evident. In this personal narrative, Kominos shares her personal odyssey of spiritual growth and transformation from a Pentagon engineer to guru. Accustomed to looking outside of herself for fulfillment, her experiences showed her nothing external is permanent, nor can the external fulfill the deep longing within for something more. A hero's journey through love, loss, and rebirth, Swimming in the Ocean of the Divine spans adventures through unconceivable calamities, misfortunes, pilgrimages, and moments of unforgettable spiritual bliss. Kominos discovers the power of love, forgiveness, and the courage to face life's challenges with grace.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BEST SELLER • From the best-selling, award-winning author of The Buddha in the Attic and When the Emperor Was Divine comes a novel about what happens to a group of obsessed recreational swimmers when a crack appears at the bottom of their local pool. This searing, intimate story of mothers and daughters—and the sorrows of implacable loss—is the most commanding and unforgettable work yet from a modern master. The swimmers are unknown to one another except through their private routines (slow lane, medium lane, fast lane) and the solace each takes in their morning or afternoon laps. But when a crack appears at the bottom of the pool, they are cast out into an unforgiving world without comfort or relief. One of these swimmers is Alice, who is slowly losing her memory. For Alice, the pool was a final stand against the darkness of her encroaching dementia. Without the fellowship of other swimmers and the routine of her daily laps she is plunged into dislocation and chaos, swept into memories of her childhood and the Japanese American incarceration camp in which she spent the war. Alice's estranged daughter, reentering her mother's life too late, witnesses her stark and devastating decline.

Download or read book Ocean written by Steve Mentz and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2020-03-19 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. The ocean comprises the largest object on our planet. Retelling human history from an oceanic rather than terrestrial point of view unsettles our relationship with the natural environment. Our engagement with the world's oceans can be destructive, as with today's deluge of plastic trash and acidification, but the mismatch between small bodies and vast seas also emphasizes the frailty and resilience of human experience. From ancient stories of shipwrecked sailors to the containerized future of 21st-century commerce, Ocean splashes the histories we thought we knew into salty and unfamiliar places. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.
Book Synopsis The lord of the Alpharia Ocean by : K. Shajahan
Download or read book The lord of the Alpharia Ocean written by K. Shajahan and published by Sha K. This book was released on 2023-10-03 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nicky is a thirteen-year-old boy, the son of a merchant navy officer. He loves his father very much. As life goes on happily, a tragedy comes into their life when the pirates hijacked his father’s ship. Nicky's father is being held captive by pirates. The news upset Nicky. To comfort him, his grandmother tells him the story of a savior with supernatural powers who lives in the sea called Sea Lord. As Nicky was hopeless, he believed in that savior at that disturbing time. So he comes to the sea at night in search of that Savior, the Sea Lord. Upon reaching the shore, he decided, to travel a few distances in the ocean and call the Sea Lord. He found an old small wooden boat on the shore. He pushed the boat into the water. And then slowly moved forward on the swaying waves. On that journey across the ocean in a small boat, Nicky moved far from the shore in the flow of waves and reached the deep sea. Though unexpectedly he reached the middle of the ocean, Nicky had no fear at the thought of his father, who was waiting for death in front of the pirate’s gun. As his burning mind was with his father, he didn’t notice that he was in the middle of the ocean. In the serenity of the ocean visible in the light of the moonlight, he hopefully called his savior, the Sea lord. But no one heard his call. Time was running out. He continued that call with hope. He saw no one in the desolate sea. Fear and despair paralyzed him. At that moment, he drank a little water from the ocean without remembering that it was salty seawater. But to his surprise, he tasted the pure water. At the same time, he could see another wonderful thing, blue-colored water like a stream flowing on the surface of the ocean. His boat was on that current. He drank some more water from it again. In that amazing experience, he got a revival again by forgetting everything for a while. In that joy, he called his savior again. This time a large tortoise, his name was also Sea Lord, heard Nicky’s call and came near to his boat and started talking to him. When Nicky is amazed at seeing a talking tortoise, the tortoise tells him that Nicky had accidentally drunk the water of the mystic Alpharia River, which is the divine water of spirits that flows in the ocean. It is invisible to humans. As he has drunk the secret water, there will be some pros and cons as a result. He will be able to hear and talk to ocean creatures and other animals and birds, he can live in the water as he lives on the land, and he can see the roaming spirits. Likewise, there will be trouble, which is that he will be invisible to humans after five days. The tortoise also describes the complex way to get out of that invisibility. But nothing came to Nicky’s thought, which was melting over his father's condition in the clutches of pirates. He told the tortoise of his sad story. Seeing his grief, the tortoise called his friend, the leader of the seagulls, to find a way to help him. Meanwhile, a storm had formed in the ocean. Sea creatures saved Nicky from the storm, taking him on top of a dolphin to a secret mountain range called the Alpharia mountain range in the ocean, which is the source of the Alpharia River. It is a secret place invisible to humans. In the Alpharia mountain range, Nicky saw the soul of a Shaolin monk in the pool of spirits where the spirits came to drink water. Nicky told his story to the spirit and asked for help to save his father from pirates. As the monk was not able to come with Nicky, he taught Nicky a secret martial art called Dragon Kung Fu. Nicky and his ocean friends continue their journey finding a way to locate the ship that was hijacked by the pirates. At that time, another roaming spirit they found in the sea. Nicky requested his help. He gave a solution to find out the hijacked ship. Accordingly, Nicky and his team advanced quickly to locate the ship. At the end of that adventurous and complicated ocean journey, they reached the ship. With the help of the sea creatures, mainly the seagulls, Nicky confronts the pirates by showing his skill of Dragon Kung Fu that he learned from the Shaolin monk. He appears in front of the pirates as an epic character called the Lord of the Alpharia Ocean. Nicky subdues the pirates and releases his father and crew. Although Nicky was able to successfully carry out that mission with the abilities he gained by drinking the waters of the mysterious Alpharia River, there is a challenge to face, the invisibility that happens after five days. He will disappear from human sight. He knows that will be another tragedy for his family and for him To escape from that great trouble, he needs to find and drink special honey that can be seen in the icy Arctic tundra. His friends, the ocean creatures, comfort him by assuring their help in that mission. But before that, there were some more tasks he had to fulfill.
Book Synopsis With Roots and Wings by : Jay B. McDaniel
Download or read book With Roots and Wings written by Jay B. McDaniel and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2009-06-26 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In With Roots & Wing, Jay McDaniel brings together insights from the natural sciences, Christian theology, and interreligious dialogue, breaking new ground in the search for a wholistic spirituality for our time. Taking this title from the Jewish proverb--that we must give our children both roots and wings--McDaniel shows how this applies to our spiritual lives as well. With Roots and Wings offers an alternative to the contemporary dilemmas of empty consumerism and rigid fundamentalism, consisting of three basic, interrelated approaches to being: to be rooted in the Earth and religious tradition; to be open to the insights of people of other faiths as well as to share our own; and to become centered on God. McDaniel shows where the new universe story of Thomas Berry and Brian Swimme and the Christian story meet and differ, where they complement, and where they supplement one another. With Roots & Wings shows how to experience both green grace that comes from opening one's self to the rhythms of the cosmos, and red grace symbolized in the crucifixion of Christ--both of which are vital to a Christian ecological spirituality and praxis. Most impressive is McDaniel's ability to absorb and reflect important lessons Christians can learn from Native Americans, from Buddhists and Hindus, from Muslims and Jews. The complexity of the issues he addresses and his ability to explain them simply and clearly makes With Roots and Wingsmust-reading for the general reader as well as ecological activists, clergy, and laity alike. Nothing else comes near it in depth, power, and insight.
Book Synopsis Shipwreck Modernity by : Steve Mentz
Download or read book Shipwreck Modernity written by Steve Mentz and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2015-12-10 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shipwreck Modernity engages early modern representations of maritime disaster in order to describe the global experience of ecological crisis. In the wet chaos of catastrophe, sailors sought temporary security as their worlds were turned upside down. Similarly, writers, poets, and other thinkers searched for stability amid the cultural shifts that resulted from global expansion. The ancient master plot of shipwreck provided a literary language for their dislocation and uncertainty. Steve Mentz identifies three paradigms that expose the cultural meanings of shipwreck in historical and imaginative texts from the mid-sixteenth through the early eighteenth centuries: wet globalization, blue ecology, and shipwreck modernity. The years during which the English nation and its emerging colonies began to define themselves through oceangoing expansion were also a time when maritime disaster occupied sailors, poets, playwrights, sermon makers, and many others. Through coming to terms with shipwreck, these figures adapted to disruptive change. Traces of shipwreck ecology appear in canonical literature from Shakespeare to Donne to Defoe and also in sermons, tales of survival, amateur poetry, and the diaries of seventeenth-century English sailors. The isolated islands of Bermuda and the perils of divine anger hold central places. Modern sailor-poets including Herman Melville serve as valuable touchstones in the effort to parse the reality and understandings of global shipwreck. Offering the first ecocritical account of early modern shipwreck narratives, Shipwreck Modernity reveals the surprisingly modern truths to be found in these early stories of ecological collapse.

Book Synopsis At the Bottom of Shakespeare’s Ocean by : Steve Mentz
Download or read book At the Bottom of Shakespeare’s Ocean written by Steve Mentz and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2009-10-10 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We need a poetic history of the ocean, and Shakespeare can help us find one. There's more real salt in the plays than we might expect. Shakespeare's dramatic ocean spans the God-sea of the ancient world and the immense blue vistas that early modern mariners navigated. Throughout his career, from the opening shipwrecks of The Comedy of Errors through The Tempest, Shakespeare's plays figure the ocean as shocking physical reality and mind-twisting symbol of change and instability. To fathom Shakespeare's ocean - to go down to its bottom - this book's chapters focus on different things that humans do with and in and near the sea: fathoming, keeping watch, swimming, beachcombing, fishing, and drowning. Mentz also sets Shakespeare's sea-poetry against modern literary sea-scapes, including the vast Pacific of Moby-Dick, the rocky coast of Charles Olson's Maximus Poems, and the lyrical waters of the postcolonial Caribbean. Uncovering the depths of Shakespeare's maritime world, this book draws out the centrality of the sea in our literary culture.

Book Synopsis Chance, Character and Change by : John Mattausch
Download or read book Chance, Character and Change written by John Mattausch and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 2011-12-31 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chance is real. Not only is it a cause of societal change, but we as individuals are chance-given characters who discover and build our character in chancy circumstances. Chance is also expressed as coincidence and contingency, expressions which have episodically been of undeniable historical importance. Mattausch asserts the conventional picture of societal change is incorrect. Societal change is not a linear succession with each phase of change replacing its predecessor. Instead, the process is one of accumulative change in which chance plays various roles. Chance, Character, and Change develops the idea of chance, situating it within the history of thought and social change. By focusing strictly on manifestations of chance and of luck that can be seen and explained, Mattausch is able to show how chance acts in the environment of evolution and the social practices that regulate the inheritance of knowledge and technology. This, in turn, steers societal change and how change itself occurs. Chance's role is often characterized as coincidence or contingency, and this automatically is seen as progressive or degenerate. However, Mattausch notes that accumulative change is potentially both progressive as well as decadent. Chance also plays a part in the social aspects of our world--customs, practices, cultures, societies, and politics. When we act, Mattausch argues, we do not distinguish between good and bad, but rather between determinism and chance; the latter is a test of character, not of free will. This theory is general in its assertions and application, and can be related to many areas of study from economic theory, to human behavior, to politics. The rich texture of the writing and vivid use of examples from daily life and the work of other major thinkers draw in the reader. The most striking aspect of this work is the author's writing style and the way he weaves together evidence, classic research, and contemporary thought. It is skillfully, effectively, beautifully done.
