Download or read book To Sing Once More written by Lambert Zuidervaart and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-01-21 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we honor the dog friends who keep us company without complaint? How do we prepare when their all-too-short lives near an end? How do we grieve their passing and take joy in their memory? This memoir celebrates the life of a beautiful Golden Retriever named Hannah Estelle. It tells how, at a time of deep sadness, Hannah's puppy presence helped the author learn to sing again; how, as he became an accomplished vocalist, her faithful friendship brought grace and joy; and how, during the cancer-wracked months that ended her life, his singing to Hannah helped her departure. Woven around texts from poignant songs, the book speaks of loss and love, of sorrow and joy, of suffering and hope. Each chapter is a dog song, inspired by the canine companion it is about, and songlike in its own aspiration. Lambert Zuidervaart tells lyrical stories about a dear dog's life to thank her for helping him learn to sing once more.

Art class is over, but Vashti is sitting glued to her chair in front of a blank piece of paper. The words of her teacher are a gentle invitation to express herself. But Vashti can’t draw - she’s no artist. To prove her point, Vashti jabs at a blank sheet of paper to make an unremarkable and angry mark. "There!" she says.

Reynolds’s delicate fable about the creative spirit in all of us.

Download or read book East of Goodbye written by Richard Claude Valdez and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a Great Loss Here There is a great loss here, Perhaps unaware The eagle flies alone over the tops of mountains, Leaving its mate behind to settle the score of unitys prize Aloneness. That shriek that tears the night-sky, Calling back memorys Gentleness. That peat and pith within the wombs Oneness. In silence its wings dip behind the mountains arch, Falling away In feathered farewell to Goodbyes endlessness. Richard Claude Valdez Bidding farewell to anyone or anything is never easy. In his third volume of poems, Richard Claude Valdez shares verse that pays tribute to goodbyes through separation, disconnection, and death, all echoed through nature and the human heart. While immersed in a lyrical struggle between youthful passion and the age of compassion, Valdez reflects on love, joy, sorrow, regret, passion, and hope amid the after-effects of an unforgiving circumstance, remembrances scarred on an ancient landscape, a miracle cradled in comfort, a misty memory of a carefree dance, and dishonor heaped upon a generous spirit. East of Goodbye shares thoughtful poems that explore and reflect on the many aspects of separation while inspiring others to look inward and study their own journey through life.
