Download or read book Fallen Flowers For all the flowers that withered too soon written by Inaya Hussain and published by Blue Rose Publishers. This book was released on 2024-05-16 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an anthology, a collection of my literary ventures throughout the years of the pandemic. Here, I have brevities and poems that encapsulate all I have felt myself and noticed in other teenagers present in my life. The anthology, which has been divided into two halves, uses the symbolism of orange lilies and purple hyacinths to capture the spirit of youth. In the opening section, "Orange Lilies," I have considered how adolescents can often seem vivid and quite joyous, optimistic, and colourful, yet still face internal abhor and turmoil, i.e. the conflict one cannot seem to rid themselves of. Every poem embodies the intense fervour and intensity typical of this phase of life. As we get into the second section, "Purple Hyacinths," the mood becomes more introspective. Here, I explored the intricacies of many in greater detail, addressing themes of loss and the pursuit of meaning. My path of self-discovery and development is also partly reflected in the purple hyacinths, which represent rebirth, metamorphosis, and remorse. In "Fallen Flowers," every poem is an ode to the ability of language to shed light and provide comfort during uncertain times.

Download or read book The First Evidence written by Juman Kubba and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-09-15 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few countries in contemporary times have had more political intrigue, violence and terror than the Iraq of Saddam Hussein's Ba'ath party. The atrocities of the Iraqi government, which were highlighted only after the Gulf War and are now receiving much attention, actually began in the 1970s. There are few accounts of what individuals endured, what everyday life was like, and the impact that Saddam Hussein's repressive regime has had on the lives of Iraqi citizens. The author of this remarkable memoir recounts growing up in Baghdad in the 70s during the early days of Saddam Hussein's reign. She describes in detail her family's fear and the cruel punishment they suffered when her father, a successful professional from a renowned, high-profile family, discovered the direct involvement of Iraqi authorities in the notorious Abu Tubar serial killings that rocked Baghdad.
Download or read book Radiance written by Danny Siegel and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2020-05-01 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Selected Prose and Poetry of Danny Siegel This first anthology of the most important writings by Danny Siegel, spanning and renewing fifty years of his insights intersperses soulful Jewish texts with innovative Mitzvah ideas to rouse individuals and communities to transform our lives, communities, neighborhoods, and world. As a renowned teacher Siegel describes the creative—often startling—ways individuals from different walks of life have brought compassion into the world, recognizes them as Mitzvah heroes, and suggests how we can apply their life lessons. He also plumbs how giving enriches living and presents Jewishly informed best principles for doing more world repair (Tikkun Olam). As a scholar of rabbinic literature Siegel offers translations and commentaries on Jewish texts illuminating Tzedakah, values, caring, and leadership. In addition he tops off a half-century of his thought with five new essays reflecting on his visions for a better world. The selected poetry asks religious and theological questions in the face of oppression and war, gives voice to personal moments often neglected by ritual, and exults at the wonders of modern Israel and the revelation of love. Both inspirational and pragmatic, this anthology offers practical guidance on using Siegel’s classic and novel works in personal living and in Jewish organizational settings. Ultimately, in exploring the dynamic interaction between heroes, texts, and ourselves, Siegel seeks to engage each of us in discovering our own radiant potential for creative Mitzvah living.
