Download or read book Abandoned Moments written by Ed Kashi and published by Kehrer Verlag. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If the decisive moment reflects reality in tune with the photographer's intuition, flawlessly combining composition and timing, then the abandoned moment is the consequence of a fractional instant of surrender. This collection, made over a 40-year period, reveals imprecise glimpses of transitory events filled with frenetic energy - the chaos of everyday life. Embodying photography's intrinsic power, they preserve moments that can never occur again in exactly the same time and space. When geometry, mood, and possibility unite to unintentionally create something new, the magical and fictional qualities of still photography capture the unplanned essence of existence. In contrast to my journalistic approach of deep personal connection and keen observation, this work is about capturing the untamed energy of a moment with abandon.

Download or read book Encounters with Bob Dylan written by Tracy Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though he's spent nearly 40 years in the spotlight, Bob Dylan remains one of our most enigmatic and reclusive public figures. As the 20th Century's most influential songwriter, dozens of books have been written about him, primarily biographies, lyric analysis, and reference materials. Encounters with Bob Dylan is the first to examine his life and career from his fans' perspective. Included are 50 first-person accounts of fans who have had a close encounter (usually face-to-face) with him. The contributors come from around the world, and some even have recognizable names, such as mandolinist David Grisman, journalist Nat Hentoff, Hall-of-Fame pitcher Jim "Catfish" Hunter, tapper Kurtis Blow, and noted groupie/author Pamela Des Barres. The common link is a love and appreciation for the words and music of Bob Dylan and his impact on modem culture. Collectively, their stories provide compelling, sometimes amusing, insight into Dylan and his long and complicated relationship with his legion of devoted admirers. The stories are presented chronologically, beginning in 1956 with Margaret Stark's account of her high school date with Bobby Zimmerman and their subsequent meeting at Bob's 10-year Hibbing High School reunion. Along the way, you'll hear from fans like Marc Silber, who met Bob in 1962 and arranged for his appearance at the University of Michigan Folk Festival, and Timothy Chisholm, who was invited to meet Bob after a show because of his enthusiastic front-row response to Dylan's performance. Due to the constantly changing circumstances of the encounters, each story is unique in character and impact.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lifes Fight, Loves Might is a controversial true story about Lorna, a courageous determined Australian woman whose life was ravaged by the betrayal of her family, her employers, the Christian church, the judicial system and sanctioned abuse by the state and federal governments. Lorna stood alone against the world thats until she meets Rod, a surfie who sweeps her off her feet. Unfortunately, their fervent love also feels the smack of betrayal, which nearly destroys them both, but ultimately they stand united with trust, love and loyalty. When Rod enlists, Lorna becomes an excellent army wife. She learns how to compromise, because the army must come first. She becomes independent and resourceful while her soldier is away, supporting him all the way up the ranks to Warrant Office. Rods postings take Lorna and their two children to Sydney, Papua New Guinea, Canberra and Melbourne. Lorna finds each posting is fraught with its own kind of agony, with Papua New Guinea being the worst of all. She survives unbelievable traumas, which befall her and her family. Then she faces the failures of the Australian Defence Force and the Department of Veterans Affairs. To the Australian people these two systems appear to be functioning at an optimum for the serving members of the ADF, veterans and their families respectively, but it only appears that they are. Lorna also gives accounts of how the leadership within the Christian community believes it is above the law of the land, and how the judicial system aides the churchs betrayal of trust. In the end, Lornas resilience and strength wins through to overcome the impossible, leading her to write this inspiring book.

Download or read book Early Letters written by Chiara Lubich and published by New City Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chiara Lubich is now being called a great Catholic mystic of our times. In these letters we encounter this mystical side of Chiara who is also the bearer of a charism, a gift from the Holy Spirit in response to the special needs of the Church and of the world. Chiara's charism is unity, the unity that Jesus asked for us from his Father: "May they all be one as we are one - I in them and you in me - so that they may be brought to complete unity" (Jn 17: 22-23). Chiara saw God's love in everyone and everything. The light of this discovery enveloped her, and she felt like she was at the center of the Father's love. This discovery is at the foundation of Chiara's spirituality which emerges from these early letters. They were written to the young women and others who were drawn by the way she presented the Christian life as a response to God's love, which was shown to her in Jesus, most especially in his abandonment and death on the Cross. In these letters, the God that Chiara invites us to believe in is Love. The conversion she asks of us is a conversion to Love. Often using the language and style of the saints and mystics of other ages (like Saint Catherine of Siena and Saint Francis of Assisi), Chiara communicates her burning desire that "Love be loved," that "all the world be set ablaze by the fire of Love." Her words are full of fervor, but also simplicity and practical common sense. How should the author be introduced? Well, in the back cover of this book of 147 pages, there is a section introducing the author that I find fascinating: The New York Times described Chiara Lubich as one of the most influential women in the Catholic Church. As the president of the Focolare Movement, Italian-born Chiara Lubich was a renowned religious leader and writer. She, a prolific writer, had published over 50 books in 29 languages, with more than one million copies sold. As a book of spirituality in the form of a collection of 60 letters written to many people spanning from 1944 to1949, it is not easy to grasp the important themes of this book. Therefore, the letters are grouped into four parts with distinguished titles as follows: 1. Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love; 2. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified; 3. I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled; 4. Whoever is near me is near the fire. Lubich's mystical experience can be traced to her intimate dwelling in God. As result, she has special spiritual insights expressed in her letters in the following subjects: love, suffering, abandonment, and unity. Lubich attempts to help her friends to closely follow Jesus Christ in whatever their situation and circumstances. Who are the audience of these letters? Originally, the recipients of these letters are the readers. However, after the publication of this book, all readers of this book become the audience. With the words of encouragement in this book, readers are uplifted spiritually because as followers of Jesus Christ, we all follow our model/example/sample: Jesus Christ.

Download or read book Twenty First Century Perspectives on Victorian Literature written by Laurence W. Mazzeno and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-03-06 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Victorian literature’s fascination with the past, its examination of social injustice, and its struggle to deal with the dichotomy between scientific discoveries and religious faith continue to fascinate scholars and contemporary readers. During the past hundred years, traditional formalist and humanist criticism has been augmented by new critical approaches, including feminism and gender studies, psychological criticism, cultural studies, and others. In Twenty-First Century Perspectives on Victorian Literature, twelve scholars offer new assessments of Victorian poetry, novels, and nonfiction. Their essays examine several major authors and works, and introduce discussions of many others that have received less scholarly attention in the past. General reviews of the current status of Victorian literature in the academic world are followed by essays on such writers as Charles Dickens, Alfred Tennyson, Thomas Hardy, and the Brontë sisters. These are balanced by essays that focus on writing by women, the development of the social problem novel, and the continuity of Victorian writers with their Romantic forebears. Most importantly, the contributors to this volume approach Victorian literature from a decidedly contemporary scholarly angle and write for a wide audience of specialists and non-specialists alike. Their essays offer readers an idea of how critical commentary in recent years has influenced—and in some cases changed radically—our understanding of and approach to literary study in general and the Victorian period in particular. Hence, scholars, teachers, and students will find the volume a useful survey of contemporary commentary not just on Victorian literature, but also on the period as a whole.

Download or read book Core Emotional Addictions at the Root of Compulsive Behaviors written by Caroline Eick and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2018-12-18 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While you may know something about your core beliefs or imprints - for example, that you carry the deep belief that you are not good enough, or that you can't count on anyone but yourself, or that you have to win at all cost or else someone will take advantage of you, and more - you may still find yourself repeating the same self-defeating behaviors of people-pleasing, of self-sabotage, of compulsively competing for things you don't even want, and so on. That's because of what keeps your beliefs about yourself alive in your neurological core: the energies of emotions to which you have become addicted. In this book, Caroline Eick explains how the very emotions we have been avoiding, repressing, projecting, or trying to control, we have become physically and psychologically addicted to, and that recurring self-defeating behaviors as well as substance and process addictions are in great part manifestations of patterns of emotional addictions. She offers a way to gain emotional peace by getting acquainted with emotions as energies that can be transmuted through attention and intention. Integrating spirituality and science, she offers a practical approach to sustained emotional sobriety.

Download or read book The Mirror of Simple Souls written by Margaret Porette and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 1999-05-15 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Dr. Romana Guarnieri, in a letter to Osservatore Romano (16 June 1946), announced her discovery that Margaret Porette (d. 1 June 1310) was the author of The Mirror of Simple Souls, certainly a major French document of pre-Reformation spirituality, a sensation was created in the academic world. Although The Mirror is one of the few heretical documents to have survived the Middle Ages in its entirety, both its title and its authorship were among the most persistent and troublesome problems of scholarly research in the field of medieval vernacular languages. The Mirror, in its original French, survives only in the fifteenth-century manuscript which the great Condé (Louis II de Bourbon) had acquired for his palace at Chantilly. And, so far as can be known, all that remains with which to compare the readings of this manuscript text are those translations of The Mirror which, also in manuscript, are to be found in Latin, Italian, and Middle English. This edition of The Mirror of Simple Souls is a translation from the French original with interpretive essays by Edmund Colledge, O.S.A., Judith Grant, and J.C. Marler, and a foreword by Kent Emery, Jr. The translators of this Modern English version rely primarily on the French, yet take other medieval translations into account. As a result, this edition offers a reading of The Mirror which solves a number of difficulties found in the French, and the introductions contributed by the translators narrate the archival history of the book, for which Margaret Porette was burned alive in Paris in 1310.

Download or read book Still on the Road written by Clinton Heylin and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2010-07-01 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second of two volumes, this companion to every song that Bob Dylan ever wrote is not just opinionated commentary or literary interpretation: it consists of facts first and foremost. Together these two volumes form the most comprehensive books available on Dylan's words. Clinton Heylin is the world's leading Dylan biographer and expert, and he has arranged the songs in a continually surprising chronology of when they were actually written rather than when they appeared on albums. Using newly discovered manuscripts, anecdotal evidence, and a seemingly limitless knowledge of every Bob Dylan live performance, Heylin reveals hundreds of facts about the songs. Here we learn about Dylan's contributions to the Traveling Wilburys, the women who inspired Blood on the Tracks and Desire, the sources Dylan &“plagiarized&” for Love and Theft and Modern Times, why he left &“Blind Willie McTell&” off of Infidels and &“Series of Dreams&” off of Oh Mercy, what broke the long dry spell he had in the 1990s, and much more. This is an essential purchase for every true Bob Dylan fan.
