Download or read book Meet Me at the Rainbow Bridge written by Kenneth Newman DVM and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2010-06-25 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet Me at the Rainbow Bridge begins with a tragic accident in which a careless driver backs up 25 yards without looking, pinning Dr. Newman and his beloved Labrador, Gracie, between his family station wagon and the driver's bumper. Dr. Newman's life story is narrated in retrospect, emphasizing the importance of the dogs that have shared his life. It is furthermore an appeal to the hearts and minds of pet owners that the legal status of pets must be elevated above the level of mere property, the status they are now granted in our legal system. Ninety percent of pet owners now consider their pets to be family members. The owner of a pet that is killed through an accidental act of negligence or a deliberate act of malice can only receive the cash value for their pet. Dr. Newman presents his view that the laws of the land are out of touch with the public's sentiment.

Download or read book The Divine Life of Animals written by Ptolemy Tompkins and published by Crown. This book was released on 2011-06-07 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A journey through 20,000 years of history and myth in search of the answer to a single question: Do animals have souls? Anyone who has ever mourned the loss of a cherished pet has wondered about the animal soul. Do animals survive the death of the body, or are they doomed to disappear completely when they leave this world behind? Both scientists and religious authorities have long scoffed at the idea of animals in heaven. Yet the question endures. In this wise, immensely readable book, Ptolemy Tompkins embarks on a quest for the answer—taking us on a top-speed tour of the history of the animal soul. Equally at home with mainstream and alternative spiritual philosophies, Tompkins takes us from the savannas of Africa to the earth’s first cities to the early days of the great faith traditions of both East and West. Along the way, he shows that, despite what many of us have been taught, the world’s various spiritual traditions all have profoundly meaningful things to say about the animal soul, if we simply know where to look. Rescuing these ancient insights and blending them with vivid stories about animals today—from a dwarf rabbit named Angus to a manatee named Moose to a black bear named Little Bit—The Divine Life of Animals paints a gloriously inclusive picture of the cosmos as a place made up of both matter and spirit, in which animals are every bit as important, spiritually speaking, as the humans with whom they share the world. Though it is startlingly original, The Divine Life of Animals also feels strangely and instantly familiar, for it reveals truths that many of us have held in our hearts already, waiting only for someone to give fresh voice to one of the oldest and most trustworthy intuitions we possess. The Divine Life of Animals offers a compelling and timeless vision of the relationship between humans and animals that will have you looking at the animals in your life with new eyes.

Book excerpt: With her drum and the Songs of Intention and Celebration author Tritia Hamilton has been keeping an appointment with the sunrise each morning for more than seven years. The songs beckon, smooth the pathway and celebrate our arrival into the New Garden Earth. From an island on the coastline of Maine to the high desert in the American Southwest and back to coastal Maine once again, Golden Pebbles traces an adventure of discovery which began while journeying to the sound of a Native American drumming rhythm. It was a journey from which I emerged astonished. I heard singing, I said to the drummer. You heard the voices of the ancestors, he replied quietly. The ancestor voices stirred a memory into the past, and into the future -- multiple layers converging in now. Eventually there were songs to sing -- to the heartbeat rhythm of the drum. Golden Pebbles is the story behind the ceremonial songs, the sunrise drumming ceremonies and the joyful radiating of a cohesive intention and direction. The lyrics for three dozen Songs of Intention and Celebration are included in Golden Pebbles. For more information about the songs, see: www.goldenpebblepathway.me

Download or read book The Unspeakable written by Meghan Daum and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2014-11-18 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A master of the personal essay candidly explores love, death, and the counterfeit rituals of American life in this "brave, funny compendium" (Slate) Nearly fifteen years after her debut collection, My Misspent Youth, captured the ambitions and anxieties of a generation, Meghan Daum returns to the personal essay with The Unspeakable, a powerful collection of ten new works. Where her previous collection explores what it is to be a struggling twenty-something urban dweller with an overdrawn bank account and oversized ambition, The Unspeakable contends with parental death, the decision not to have children, and more-a new set of challenges tackled by a writer at her best, investigated in the same uncompromising voice that made Daum one of the most engaging thinkers writing today. In The Unspeakable, Daum pushes back against the false sentimentality and shrink-wrapped platitudes that surround so much of the contemporary American experience. But Daum also operates in a comic register. With perfect precision, she reveals the absurdities of the New Age search for the "Best Possible Experience," champions the merits of cream-of-mushroom-soup casserole, and gleefully recounts a quintessential "only-in-L.A." story of playing charades at a famous person's home. Combining the piercing insight of Joan Didion with humor reminiscent of Nora Ephron's, Daum dissects our culture's most dangerous illusions while retaining her own joy and compassion. Through it all, she dramatizes the search for an authentic self in a world where achieving an identity is never simple and never complete.
