Download or read book Slow Takes a Long Time written by Lesli Hicks and published by Tate Publishing & Enterprises. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet Dang Guole. Found in a Chinese market in 2001, he was one of thousands of babies, mostly female, abandoned due to the government's one-child policy. The boy's path temporarily led to an abusive foster mother before he was shuttled among other caregivers in his home country. Across the world, a couple awaited a second adoption delayed by bureaucracy they had not experienced the first time. Finally agreeing to accept an older child - a boy, rather than a girl - they had no idea what lay ahead. After all, he had disabilities unnoted in the documentation. This is Dang Guole's remarkable journey. Combining uncommon journalistic and literary techniques, author Lesli Hicks pieces together his past and present, reimagining how he might fully tell his story. Her sources were his own expressive reactions, emerging language skills, and a host of loving teachers. Now the beneficiary of special education, the once-lost boy at the center of Slow Takes a Long Time teaches profound lessons about love and appreciation - and the patience required to achieve both. Thanks to this unique portrait, he and his message are here to stay, giving voice to special-needs adoptees around the world who have found the joy of a "forever" home. But even people who are not "different" can learn from him.

Book excerpt: “Brilliantly conceived and plotted ... Read this book. You’ll thank me later.” -- David Baldacci The first in the international bestselling series! Who is Orphan X? The Nowhere Man is a legendary figure spoken about only in whispers. It’s said that when he’s reached by the truly desperate and deserving, the Nowhere Man can and will do anything to protect and save them. But he’s not merely a legend. “Excellent...A smart, stylish, state-of-the-art thriller...might give Lee Child’s Jack Reacher books a run for their money.”—The Washington Post Evan Smoak is a man with skills, resources, and a personal mission to help those with nowhere else to turn. He’s also a man with a dangerous past. Chosen as a child, he was raised and trained as an Orphan, an off-the-books black box program designed to create the perfect deniable intelligence asset: An assassin. Evan was Orphan X—until he broke with the program and used everything he learned to disappear. But now someone is on his tail. Someone with similar skills and training who will exploit Evan’s secret new identity as the Nowhere Man to eliminate him. “Hurwitz melds nonstop action and high-tech gadgetry...in this excellent series opener.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Download or read book Orphan texts written by Laura Peters and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-30 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In one of the first studies of its kind, Orphan texts seeks to insert the orphan, and the problems its existence poses, in the larger critical areas of the family and childhood in Victorian culture. In doing so, Laura Peters considers certain canonical texts alongside lesser known works from popular culture in order to establish the context in which discourses of orphanhood operated. The study argues that the prevalence of the orphan figure can be explained by considering the family. The family and all it came to represent – legitimacy, race and national belonging – was in crisis. In order to reaffirm itself the family needed a scapegoat: it found one in the orphan figure. As one who embodied the loss of the family, the orphan figure came to represent a dangerous threat to the family; and the family reaffirmed itself through the expulsion of this threatening difference. Orphan texts will be of interest to final year undergraduates, postgraduates, academics and those interested in the areas of Victorian literature, Victorian studies, postcolonial studies, history and popular culture.
Download or read book Die Wise written by Stephen Jenkinson and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2015-03-17 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Wise does not offer seven steps for coping with death. It does not suggest ways to make dying easier. It pours no honey to make the medicine go down. Instead, with lyrical prose, deep wisdom, and stories from his two decades of working with dying people and their families, Stephen Jenkinson places death at the center of the page and asks us to behold it in all its painful beauty. Die Wise teaches the skills of dying, skills that have to be learned in the course of living deeply and well. Die Wise is for those who will fail to live forever. Dying well, Jenkinson writes, is a right and responsibility of everyone. It is not a lifestyle option. It is a moral, political, and spiritual obligation each person owes their ancestors and their heirs. Die Wise dreams such a dream, and plots such an uprising. How we die, how we care for dying people, and how we carry our dead: this work makes our capacity for a village-mindedness, or breaks it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You can do all the programming and techniques you want to get a better life, but if you dont love yourself, it will not change a damn thing. You will still feel the same way about yourself tomorrow and the day after that and the day after that. The bottom line is the most important relationship you will ever have is the relationship you have with yourself.

The Heart of the Matter answers these questions and more. It takes the esoteric concept of self-love and makes it accessible by clearly defining the three necessary components of self-love. Learn how to reconnect to these components by: Discovering the transformational tools that are available within. Learning how to use these tools to uncover what you really think and feel about yourself and the world around you, and more importantly why. Transforming the wounded parts of self that have been separated from this love through practical steps and exercises for healing and forgiving the past. Empowering yourself to make more loving and conscious choices about what you believe and therefore what you will feel and experience. We all are searching for more love in our lives. The Heart of the Matter not only shows you where to look but also gives you a roadmap on how to get there.
Download or read book The Cycle of Life written by Erel Shalit and published by Fisher King Press. This book was released on 2011-09-25 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The art of life is the most distinguished and rarest of all the arts." -C.G. Jung, CW 8, par. 789. The Cycle of Life explores the patterns that unfold over the course of our lives, as we set out to find our place in the world, in our efforts to live authentically, and in our search for home-that place within ourselves that can so easily be neglected or disregarded in this fast-paced modern world. In the first half of life, the task of the young traveler is to depart from home, to adventure out into the world to find his or her own individual path. However, in the second half, we find ourselves on what often amounts to a very long journey in search of home. In many a tale, the hero, for instance Gilgamesh, sets off on his road to find life's elixir, while other stories, such as the Odyssey, revolve around the hero's long and arduous journey home. Many are also familiar with the journey of Dante, who at the very beginning of his Divine Comedy finds himself "Midway along the journey of our life.” The archetypal journey of life is constantly reenacted in the never-ending process of individuation. We find ourselves returning to this venture repeatedly, every night, as we set out on our voyage into the landscape of our unconscious. Many dreams begin by being on the way, for instance: I am on my way to ... I am driving on a road that leads into the desert ... I am walking through one room after the other in a long corridor-like building ... I am walking towards my office, but it looks different than in reality ... I walk on the pavement and on the opposite side of the street someone seems to be following me ... I go down into an underground parking ... I am in my car, but someone I don't know is driving ... I have to go to the place from where I came ...
