Book excerpt: Stories are blessings and with this volume of memoirs, Margaretha Willms leaves a legacy of gifts for future generations. This collection of stories radiates the simplicity of a carefree childhood of growing up and changing with the seasons of life, a reminder of the repetition and rhythm of nature on the prairies and the assurance of a coming spring when the meadowlark sings once again. Deep in every family background are the ethnic and religious values of their ancestors and it is important to preserve them by passing on stories connected to the places where those values found fullness in everyday living. Margaretha writes, "A person is bound to their place of birth, to the home of their childhood, to the graves of their parents, and to customs and traditions even if only in memory" and history is a journey into that memory. In recording moments of time about living through the hardships of the Great Depression, she often finds humour in describing what seem in their proper perspective, to lend themselves to rather amusing explorations. Her story is told with candid, unflinching honesty, giving a glimpse of Mennonite social and religious traditions that made life unique. Margaretha's sensitive portrayal of country schools in which her husband taught in the 1950s revives the spirit of rural schools as the heart and soul and pulse of every community in their time. Something of the prairies survives in the melody of the meadowlark and the stories in Margaretha Willms' book are also sustained for the future, memories of the past, too full of life to be forgotten.

Book excerpt: Lark has a secret. She can see the vampires hiding among us for what they really are: sharp-toothed, blood-sucking demons. If her secret ever gets out, she'll likely find herself on the menu and be left bloodless in some back alley before she can say Namaste. Yoga is the only thing that helps her find balance in her crummy life; a way of staying in touch with her inner goddess. But she is closer to the great Hindu goddess, Durga, than she ever imagined. A chance run-in with the most powerful vampire in the city, Mr. Crowden, leaves Lark with only two choices: fight or flight. When the arrogant vampire won't leave her alone, and dangerous rogue vampires start closing in, will she accept a life-changing deal with the devil? Her dreams of running her own studio and being safe from the demons of the night are up for grabs. But when things go from bad to worse, will she find the ancient power hiding within her before it

Download or read book Earth s Wild Music written by Kathleen Dean Moore and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2022-02-22 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At once joyous and somber, this thoughtful gathering of new and selected essays spans Kathleen Dean Moore's distinguished career as a tireless advocate for environmental activism in the face of climate change. In this meditation on the music of the natural world, Moore celebrates the call of loons, howl of wolves, bellow of whales, laughter of children, and shriek of frogs, even as she warns of the threats against them. Each group of essays moves, as Moore herself has been moved, from celebration to lamentation to bewilderment and finally to the determination to act in defense of wild songs and the creatures who sing them. Music is the shivering urgency and exuberance of life ongoing. In a time of terrible silencing, Moore asks, who will forgive us if we do not save nature's songs?
