Book excerpt: After moving to Seattle in 2004, I was searching for ways to manage stress and find peace and joy. This story is set against a background of changing careers and relationships with elderly parents, with wonderful animal stories along the way. It is a story about living in nature in the Pacific Northwest with bald eagles (Abby and Abe), loons, otters, deer, and orcas. You'll read about the antics of our two rescued malamutes, King and Sabre, and our trip to Seattle from Los Angles via RV with our rescued dog, Annie, and rescued cats. This book is a compilation of thoughts, daydreams, poems, and notes in a journal spanning ten years. The immense beauty that surrounded me became the force that helped me transition from being a successful but stressed-out corporate trainer to the person I wanted to be: someone who was able to handle the stress of frustrations, demands, disappointments, and personalities. It is an open monologue of what I did and how I did it. For you, my journal is meant as an example of how to find peace, laughter, and beauty in your day. It is a shining patha lighted journey we can choose to follow that lifts us upward and onward with hope, faith, love, and peace.
Download or read book In the Land of Happy Tears Yiddish Tales for Modern Times written by David Stromberg and published by Delacorte Press. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You don't need to be Jewish to love Levy's rye bread, nor do you need to read Yiddish to appreciate these wise tales. This engaging collection offers access to modern works--translated for the first time into English--for anyone who appreciates a well-told story rich with timeless wisdom. A year-round book for families. Includes a comprehensive introduction on Yiddish culture. Largely overlooked or forgotten, these hidden treasures from the early and middle twentieth century by some of the most respected Yiddish writers of their time—including Jacob Kreplak, Moyshe Nadir, and Rachel Shabad—remain surprisingly resonant for a contemporary audience. Folktales can be scary, as wrongdoers often get their comeuppance in unsuspected or even macabre ways, but the reinvigoration of values sometimes perceived as quaint makes for a stimulating read. In this collection you’ll meet a king who loves honey so much that instead of ruling over his people, he licks honey all day. You’ll ponder the conundrum of the moon, who longs for a playmate—but where to find a child who isn’t fast asleep at night? You’ll enter a forest in which the king of mushrooms and the queen of ants coexist autonomously but face the same threat: the little hands and trampling feet of children at play. And you’ll learn how flavoring food with the salt from tears can pose a challenging dilemma. "Collected and arranged with the lightest of touches by David Stromberg, this gathering of little-known Yiddish tales enchants with an always-new old-world magic. In the Land of Happy Tears is utterly and actively refreshing, for the wide-eyed child in every grownup and children wising up everywhere." —poet, translator, and MacArthur Prize winner Peter Cole

Viewing various scenes of people suffering in poverty from his tall monument, the Happy Prince asks the swallow to take the ruby from his hilt, the sapphires from his eyes, and the golden leaf covering his body to give to the poor. As the winter comes and the Happy Prince is stripped of all of his beauty, his lead heart breaks when the swallow dies as a result of his selfless deeds and severe cold. The statue is then brought down from the pillar and melted in a furnace leaving behind the broken heart and the dead swallow and they are thrown in a dust heap. These are taken up to heaven by an angel that has deemed them the two most precious things in the city. This is affirmed by God and they live forever in his city of gold and garden of paradise.
