Download or read book The Kindred Life written by Christine Marie Bailey and published by Harper Celebrate. This book was released on 2022-05-17 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even though technology makes us more “connected” than ever, we still hunger for authentic relationships—with the natural world, our creator, and one another. But how do we find them, especially when we’ve lost touch with many of the foundational rhythms that draw us together? The Kindred Life is a rallying cry for real connection in a time when we need to recapture what’s been lost. In this collection of stories, photos, and recipes from her home on Kindred Farm in Santa Fe, Tennessee, sustainable farmer Christine Bailey shares both the beautiful and gritty moments as she grew from a hopeful urban gardener to co-owner of a farm full of produce, bees, chickens, and flowers that provides meaningful experiences for friends, family, and hundreds of guests each year. Kindred means “tribe” or “family,” and at the center of The Kindred Life is an invitation to pursue the experiences that unite us, like spending time in the dirt, slowing down, and joining in a simple meal under the stars. We were all created with the ability to carve out a life of connection, and it’s worth every bit of sweat it takes to get there. We can slow down. We can step forward in bravery to do hard things well. And we can be intentional about gathering with and investing in others. Discover the beauty of community, the magic of coming together around the table, and the lessons the land can teach you as you unearth your very own Kindred Life—right where you are.
Download or read book Kindred written by Octavia Butler and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2024-05-21 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “As you turn the pages of this novel and get lost in Dana’s story, allow yourself to relive the horrors of slavery....Allow yourself to know the pain of our nation’s past.”—Tomi Adeyemi, New York Times bestseller and Hugo and Nebula award-winning author, from the new foreword This brand new package for young adults includes a redesigned interior for better readability, specially commissioned cover art by Carlos Fama, metallic stock cover, and spot gloss on cover elements “I lost an arm on my last trip home. My left arm.” Dana’s torment begins when she suddenly vanishes on her 26th birthday from California, 1976, and is dragged through time to antebellum Maryland to rescue a boy named Rufus, heir to a slaveowner’s plantation. She soon realizes the purpose of her summons to the past: protect Rufus to ensure his assault of her Black ancestor so that she may one day be born. As she endures the traumas of slavery and the soul-crushing normalization of savagery, Dana fights to keep her autonomy and return to the present. Blazing the trail for neo-slavery narratives like Colson Whitehead’s The Underground Railroad and Ta-Nehisi Coates’s The Water Dancer, Butler takes one of speculative fiction’s oldest tropes and infuses it with lasting depth and power. Dana not only experiences the cruelties of slavery on her skin but also grimly learns to accept it as a condition of her own existence in the present. “Where stories about American slavery are often gratuitous, reducing its horror to explicit violence and brutality, Kindred is controlled and precise” (New York Times). “Reading Octavia Butler taught me to dream big, and I think it’s absolutely necessary that everybody have that freedom and that willingness to dream.” —N. K. Jemisin

Book excerpt: In ancient times, Japanese samurai were arguably the greatest warriors in modern history. In fact, samurai warriors lived their entire lives rigorously abiding by the Bushido--the Japanese code of chivalry and honor. The Emperor or Shogun wielded centralized powers all over the war-torn country. Directly under the Shogun were the Daimyo, regional and local warlords. Subordinate to the Daimyo were the samurai, a class of highly skilled warriors, which gradually developed in Japan after the Taika reforms of A.D. 641. Feudal Japan rigorously followed Bushido. The samurai code emphasized loyalty to one's master over and above loyalty to one's family. Hence the Shogun oftentimes replaced a weak emperor who merely acted as an imperial figurehead. The Shogun, the likes of Minamoto no Yoritomo, Ashigaka Takauji and Hideyoshi, carried with them the power of life and death over their daimyo and samurai underlings. During peace time many samurai warriors took up the arts by writing and teaching in their leisure hours. Their love of beautiful surroundings was of equal importance to these men who dedicated their lives as full-time soldiers. In the Haiku poems written by the old masters, many of whom lived and died as staunch practitioners of the samurai code. One of the greatest Haiku poets was the renowned samurai, Matsuo Basho (1644-94), who traveled throughout Japan writing and further developing the Haiku style. He died in Osaka, Japan in 1694, but continued to write haiku furiously, up until his death. TODAY, five men and women who dub themselves as Bards from the Far East invite you to promenade in the literary park and bask in the overflowing openness, depth, simplicity and lightness of Haiku poems. Their poems will empower your soul to resonate and appreciate the sad, the beautiful, the tragic and even the lighter side of life...
