Download or read book Pearls Hang in Dark Clouds written by Lawren DeLass and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-05-09 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the onset of a bout with mental illness that erupted at the age of seventeen was when the author penned her first three poems, barring a few rhyming poems written as a child. Recovery began immediately. After the standard E.E.G. and prescribed psychiatric therapy, the worst of it was short lived. Having moved from the north to a stretch of the Bible Belt, Nashville, Tennessee, at age thirty, also sets a central theme for this deep psycho/spiritual journey through an interesting labyrinth of 1960s and 70s subculture that still lives on today. We are then transported into some profound and varied as well as a dappling of somewhat more traditional experiences with Christian spirituality. The medium for this conceptual and insightful work is the author's long studied and matured art of poetry and free verse which also includes some prayers, short prose, lyrics, and original illustrations mixed in. With more than seventy poems plus other offerings, the endowment is genuinely entertaining as all creative works of art should be, but on a very thought educing level with its elements of inner personal struggles, bohemia, and the spiritual path it has all taken and led to. Easily taken in small portions, and perhaps it should be, as the writer wishes to evoke a contemplative response and challenge one's own inner heart and soul's state of being along this beautiful conundrum we call life. Take a journey down a long and winding, broken road with all its curves, hills, and valleys. The winds will take you higher along this wild and elegant …eloquent ride.
Download or read book The Emperor s Pearl written by Robert van Gulik and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-10-15 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It all begins on the night of the Poo-yang dragonboat races in 699 A.D.: a drummer in the leading boat collapses, and the body of a beautiful young woman turns up in a deserted country mansion. There, Judge Dee—tribunal magistrate, inquisitor, and public avenger—steps in to investigate the murders and return order to the Tang Dynasty. In The Emperor’s Pearl, the judge discovers that these two deaths are connected by an ancient tragedy involving a near-legendary treasure stolen from the Imperial Harem one hundred years earlier. The terrifying figure of the White Lady, a river goddess enshrined on a bloodstained altar, looms in the background of the investigation. Clues are few and elusive, but under the expert hand of Robert van Gulik, this mythic jigsaw puzzle assembles itself into a taut mystery. “If you have not yet discovered Judge Dee and his faithful Sgt. Hoong, I envy you that initial pleasure which comes from the discovery of a great detective story. For the magistrate of Poo-yang belongs in that select group of fictional detectives headed by the renowned Sherlock Holmes.”—Robert Kirsch, Los AngelesTimes “The title of this book and the book itself have much in common. Each is a jewel, a rare and precious find.”—AtlantaTimes

Book excerpt: The compelling and disturbing true story of Vanessa George and the evil abuse she doled out upon the children of more than 300 families. As a nursery worker, wife and mother, she was a figure to place trust in. Yet her adulterous relationship and sick love triangle with Colin Blanchard and Angela Allen drew her into a dark world of violence and sexual abuse. To compete for Blanchard's attention she would do everything in her power to impress him, even if this meant committing unspeakable acts of sexual violence on children as young as two years old. What could have driven a mother to betray not only her daughters and loving husband, but the very families who entrusted her with their children? How could a seemingly caring women become engaged in a sordid and vile love triangle with a man and woman she had never met? Were there events in her own childhood that pushed her to commit these acts? True crime expert Wensley Clarkson pieces together the events surrounding the case as well as new investigative research to compile a fascinating yet disturbing account of a case which shocked a nation. We may never know the full extent of Vanessa George's cruelty, but the horror of her story will remain as a chilling memory for generations.

Book excerpt: Anuj had a brilliant mind on his young shoulders. He grew up without giving a damn about the vicissitudes of the future. He felt contented with his present; well qualified, a nice job compatible with his academic background and happily married. So, it is fair to say that he had a smooth sailing – a kind of life for which the stars had to be perfectly aligned. Looking at humanity in action, fascinated him more than anything else. He found the manifestation of God in those doing labour intensive work, in verdant sights and the growing plants in a nursery. He loved to draw parallels between the lives of varying socio-economic strata of the society. He would try deciphering the notes of mesmerising flora, flocks of birds flying effortlessly and in uncanny acts of fauna in the wilderness, making him indeed a keen observer of the world surrounding him. Given the right ambience, he would occasionally introspect himself in a quest for his own identity and purpose in life. While thinking of noble souls, a pertinent question pops up in his mind – of all the souls that have ever lived on the planet, why only a few were still alive in the forms of their qualified utterances to guide mankind? It was this question that set the tone of definitive thoughts in him that have been put together in View through Slit.
