Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gilbert Ruley Smith’s Oceans of Love 2 is an intriguing memoir of the author who fell in love and married one of a pair of identical twins. What happens when a man tries to separate two young women who were together in the womb and were each other’s best friend? Gilbert fell for Ruth, the dominant twin, who was outgoing and confident. However, she was still so connected to Ann, her twin, that she always put her sister’s feelings ahead of her own. The author details many experiences, beginning with the time he and Ruth first met and how he learned to cope with things in his relationship with Ruth, Ann, and the rest of their family and how it impacted his life. Gilbert writes, “There are many facets of my life and Ruth’s life that are an uncommon departure from the usual, and this is the incentive for writing this book.” “The story opens by describing Ruth’s life and parents and my life and parents in Baltimore before meeting her. In mid-adolescence, I become aware of a strong inner feeling that tells me that the right girl is waiting for me, and all I have to do is find her. I eventually find her and discover that she is a twin. I begin to date her and court her. Thus begins my education on the unusual world of twins and the difficulty of getting along with them. My relationship with Ruth rapidly develops into true love. “Our love is tested when I am drafted into the Korean War. After the war, it takes a few years for our lives to settle down. We get married in 1957 and live with her twin sister and mother, so our married life cannot be described as normal. Ruth'’s twin sister gets married and also lives with us. Then, Ruth and I have two children. Our household is crowded! The story describes the many changes and adjustments necessary over the years to survive our unusual life, with emphasis on the enduring true love between Ruth and me. It is our enduring true love that enabled us to not only survive, but to lead a life of happiness that was far above and beyond normal.”

Download or read book Ocean of Self Love written by Asha Nair and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2020-10-30 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You can't pour from an empty cup. Take care of yourself. It is a state of appreciation for oneself that grows from actions that support our physical, psychological and spiritual growth. We never realise that we need to love ourselves first; how much do we value and feel good about ourselves that we expect love and appreciation from others! The hunt is always outside: "Where can we find love and the lover?" Until we learn to embrace ourselves, there is no way we can be loved by and love others too. As you read the book, you will learn that loving yourself is a life-long romance. Self-love is considered important because loving yourself means that you become fully aware of your being, of your strengths and weaknesses, you are more aware of your gift to the world. You'll see how to: - -Become a powerful source within yourself that attracts better. -Cultivate an acceptance of who you are and what you feel impassioned to do. -Embrace setbacks more when you slip off the road. -Evolve your ability to create a positive atmosphere around you. -Define yourself in shaping the kind of life you want. -Adopt healthy habits and take care of your physical self. -Be your own kind. -Stay true to yourself. MIND is a flexible MIRROR, adjust it to see a better version of yourself," writes Asha Nair.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her debut collection of short stories, Islands of Decolonial Love, renowned writer and activist Leanne Simpson vividly explores the lives of contemporary Indigenous Peoples and communities, especially those of her own Nishnaabeg nation. Found on reserves, in cities and small towns, in bars and curling rinks, canoes and community centres, doctors offices and pickup trucks, Simpson's characters confront the often heartbreaking challenge of pairing the desire to live loving and observant lives with a constant struggle to simply survive the historical and ongoing injustices of racism and colonialism. Told with voices that are rarely recorded but need to be heard, and incorporating the language and history of her people, Leanne Simpson's Islands of Decolonial Love is a profound, important, and beautiful book of fiction.
Download or read book Ocean of Love or Sea of Troubles written by Geoffrey Harris and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-12-22 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of Dr. Harris' book suggests that life is like a two-sided coin: it can be an Ocean of Love but can also be a Sea of Troubles. The subtitle clarifies this paradox: first, there are many signs of God's reality and activity in the world, and the first section of the book examines ways in which people are aware of God as both a creative and immanent presence in life. The "signs" of God are not philosophical "proofs" but empirical realities accessible to all people. In the second section, the biblical responses to suffering in the world are explored--through both Old and New Testaments. In the third section the writings of two modern apologists, C. S. Lewis and Philip Yancey, are assessed, and then finally there is a chapter of interviews with people who have known suffering in their lives.

Download or read book Future Sea written by Deborah Rowan Wright and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2020-10-27 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A counterintuitive and compelling argument that existing laws already protect the entirety of our oceans—and a call to understand and enforce those protections. The world’s oceans face multiple threats: the effects of climate change, pollution, overfishing, plastic waste, and more. Confronted with the immensity of these challenges and of the oceans themselves, we might wonder what more can be done to stop their decline and better protect the sea and marine life. Such widespread environmental threats call for a simple but significant shift in reasoning to bring about long-overdue, elemental change in the way we use ocean resources. In Future Sea, ocean advocate and marine-policy researcher Deborah Rowan Wright provides the tools for that shift. Questioning the underlying philosophy of established ocean conservation approaches, Rowan Wright lays out a radical alternative: a bold and far-reaching strategy of 100 percent ocean protection that would put an end to destructive industrial activities, better safeguard marine biodiversity, and enable ocean wildlife to return and thrive along coasts and in seas around the globe. Future Sea is essentially concerned with the solutions and not the problems. Rowan Wright shines a light on existing international laws intended to keep marine environments safe that could underpin this new strategy. She gathers inspiring stories of communities and countries using ocean resources wisely, as well as of successful conservation projects, to build up a cautiously optimistic picture of the future for our oceans—counteracting all-too-prevalent reports of doom and gloom. A passionate, sweeping, and personal account, Future Sea not only argues for systemic change in how we manage what we do in the sea but also describes steps that anyone, from children to political leaders (or indeed, any reader of the book), can take toward safeguarding the oceans and their extraordinary wildlife.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a life raft in the Mediterranean, a teenager from Ghana wonders whether he will reach Europe alive. A young chef disappears from a cruise ship, leaving a mystery for his friends and family to solve. A water-squatting community battles eviction from a harbor in a Pacific Northwest town, raising the question of who owns the water. Imperiled Ocean is a deeply reported work of narrative journalism that follows people as they head out to sea. What they discover holds inspiring and dire implications for the life of the ocean, and for all of us back on land. As Imperiled Ocean unfolds, battles are fought, fortunes made, and lives are lost. Behind this human drama, the ocean is growing ever more unstable, threatening to upend life on land. We meet a biologist tracking sturgeon who is unable to stop the development and pollution destroying the fish’s habitat, he races to learn about the fish before it disappears. Sturgeon has survived more than 300 million years on earth and could hold important truths about how humanity might make itself amenable to a changing ocean. As a fisher and scientist, his ability to listen to the water becomes a parable for today. By eavesdropping on an imperiled world, he shows a way we can move forward to save the oceans we all share.
