Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each of us, as individuals, has a unique journey and a unique message. When our journey is acknowledged, we create a focus for learning from our experience. Dragonfly Dialogues explores this life-long process of awakening. Could we consider the possibility that we are here on a Divine Mission, even though we may have forgotten what that mission might be? when we look at our life from a perspective that considers all of our life experiences, the comedies, and the tragedies, we may indeed become aware that all of the ups and downs create a complete picture, and all of it is perfect. if we begin to recognize and realize that we are the physical expression of the universe trying to understand and express itself in all of its parts and possibilities, everything may start to make more sense. Then we may begin honoring ourselves for who and what we are, and recognize the unique role each of us plays. when we listen to our hearts instead of our heads, we begin to move into a higher level of awareness. As we have fun, play, enjoy, BE, we begin to embody our Divine purpose. This lovely book comes from a woman sharing a life of wisdom...a woman comfortable enough with her self to share her wisdom quietly, gently, with love. I enjoyed every page. – John Friedlander co-author of psychic Psychology: Energy Skills for Life and Relationships

Download or read book The Animal Dialogues written by Craig Childs and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2007-12-12 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From one of the finest nature writers at work in America today-a lyrical, dramatic, illuminating tour of the hidden domain of wild animals. Whether recalling the experience of being chased through the Grand Canyon by a bighorn sheep, swimming with sharks off the coast of British Columbia, watching a peregrine falcon perform acrobatic stunts at 200 miles per hour, or engaging in a tense face-off with a mountain lion near a desert waterhole, Craig Childs captures the moment so vividly that he puts the reader in his boots. Each of the forty brief, compelling narratives in The Animal Dialogs focuses on the author's own encounter with a particular species and is replete with astonishing facts about the species' behavior, habitat, breeding, and lifespan. But the glory of each essay lies in Childs's ability to portray the sometimes brutal beauty of the wilderness, to capture the individual essence of wild creatures, to transport the reader beyond the human realm and deep inside the animal kingdom

Download or read book A Myth For Dragonflies written by Kurt Smith and published by Kurt Smith. This book was released on 2023-11-14 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Myth For Dragonflies is a heartwarming philosophical comedy set in the late 1790s, in the newly formed United States of America, a product of the Enlightenment, where ancient myths and sacred rites of passage have been abandoned for materialistic science and an unimaginative obsession with the mundane. We follow a father and son who have embarked on a dangerous quest. Although we, inheritors of the Enlightenment, claim to be finished with the sacred systems known to have ordered and unified human societies throughout history, these ancient rites of passage are not finished with us. As David Hume suggests in his Treatise On Human Nature (1739), nature has not left it up to men to abandon or to adopt such things. Myth is at the very heart of what it is to be human. There are no human beings without it. Myths are the foundational stories we tell ourselves that provide the scaffolding on which we construct our collective sense of reality. Considering the natural life cycle of the dragonfly, and the insight into there being more to the universe than meets the eye, a new myth is suggested, which for our characters works to reset the stage on which the human drama can, and some will even say must, continue to unfold.

Download or read book Post Soviet Borders written by Sabine von Löwis and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-08-18 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates how borders in former Soviet Union territories have evolved and shifted in the thirty years since the end of the Cold War. The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 led to fifteen independent states and numerous de facto states; but this process of rebordering is not finished, and social, economic, infrastructural, cultural and political networks and spaces continue to develop. This book explores the intersection between these geopolitical shifts and the individual lived experience, drawing on cases from across border regions in the Caucasus, Central Asia and Eastern Europe. Throughout, the book introduces and frames the case studies with well-informed theoretical, conceptual and methodological overviews that situate them within border studies in general and post-Soviet border spaces in particular. Overall, the book demonstrates that like a kaleidoscope, the dynamic elements in these newly evolved border regions are similar yet strikingly different in their juxtapositions, with the appearance of new configurations often dependent on changing geopolitical constellations. This timely guide to the post-Soviet world thirty years after the Cold War will be of interest to researchers across border studies, politics, geography, social anthropology, history, Eastern European Studies, Central Asian Studies, and Caucasian Studies.
