Download or read book Swan Song written by Mali Berger and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-05-23 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Swan Song: The Great Magical Unknowing Elegance emerged from a desire to write an inside story, an autobiography of the dream, muse and odd vision that never quite lets go of our memory. These inner senses from childhood to old age wanted a book, in fact demanded one. I recalled a story about an old, wisdom-woman in Ireland who each morning chose one of her lifetime journals, let it fall open to any page, and then spent her rocking chair days remembering that single day out of her years. Climbing a ladder, I pulled down twenty-five years of dated journals, stacked them on a wooden table, and proceeded to draw out memorable events that I used for Book One of Swan Song, created in New York City. It was becoming a novel with actual events that I had lived. However, something totally mysterious occurred. I began to experience the strangest dreams of my life. Several times a week I would find myself in Medieval Galway, Ireland, in a poor tenement or slum in the loft of Brian. I was telling him that he and his love must leave because bad times were coming. Brian saw me, wasnt afraid, believed my words and made plans for himself and his love, Daniela, to immigrate to New York. I dont want to tell readers anything else about the dreams or how they took over the novel and my life as I flew from JFK to Galway to dream the story on location. I have known for a long time that the inner senses control our outer, physical life. Not the other way around. We are taught that what happens during our awake days may become dreams. Wrong. Our dreams come first and regulate our physical days. Many years ago I read a few of Jane Roberts, Seth books. Now, in the midst of Swan Song, his ideas flowered again. Thus, the autobiography, fiction and research novel took on a whole new life and my inside story truly became The Great Magical Unknowing Elegance.

Book excerpt: At the conclusion of STEENIE OSHEA, her niece, Aine OShea Connolly demands her own story. The copper-haired, green-eyed seventeen year-old strolls down Galway Bay, rows the empty curagh out to the mysterious white traveling ship, climbs the rope ladder and peers into depictions of tableaus, each illustrating unforgettable, future scenes. Aine, now 22 in this sequel, follows these four tableau journeys to Belfast, Taos, Crete and Gelati, all lay lines on the planet. In this tale of magical realism, she discovers that five authors have written identical childrens books in Belfast; that a white dome, mountain city awaits victims of the archaics in Taos; that the archeological site of Knossos holds secrets in Crete; and that a strange design-pattern flows through the ancient, Gelati monastery/academy located near Tskhaltubo, Georgia, a former Soviet Republic. On the path, Aine meets a variety of people who gift her with indispensable experiences that lead to her own transformations. On this historic, travel journey, she climbs mountains, explores underground sites and sails the Aegean Sea before returning to her home in Galway, five years hence.

This book was released on 2017-06-06 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Till the researches of modern historians proved the contrary, a widespread belief existed in this country that the accession of Elizabeth was hailed by the majority of the nation as the deliverance of an enthralled and coerced people from the bondage of Home. In view, however, of known facts, even hostile critics are forced to admit that the final establishment of the tenets of the Heformation ill England was the outcome of a slow process of evolution-assisted, it is true, by a protestant legislature and several favorable local circumstances, but still an evolution-which lasted the greater part of a century. At the outset, little if anything presaged the ultimate and mighty change. The Queen received the congratulations of the episcopate with approbation and caused Masses to be duly sung for her sister's soul. In her own domestic chapel she continued to be present at the angnst sacrifice of the Catholic Church, frequently availed herself of Confession, manifested respect for sacred images and pictures, and was I indulgent to the affectionate practice of praying for the souls of the departed.' In a word, she showed by her whole demeanour her resolution of abiding by her solemn oath to the late Queen' to live and die a true Roman Catholic.'
