Download or read book The Future That Brought Her Here written by Deborah DeNicola and published by Nicolas-Hays, Inc.. This book was released on 2009-04-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dynamic blend of history, science, psychology, dreams, and visions, Deborah DeNicola's memoir is a compelling account of self-discovery that is provocative and humble. A poet, dream analyst, and college professor DeNicola writes about her struggle to live in the ordinary world of academia while honoring the competing call of the creative and the spiritual. DeNicola's memoir shows her range of intellectual pursuits and spiritual experiences as she battles an inner war between depressive cynicism and faith and shares her lifelong search to heal the trauma of her father's tragic death when she was a teenager. Struggles between cynicism and faith, depression and hope, independence and attachment, creativity and financial security in the midst of spiritual searching, motherhood, teaching and writing are inextricably woven into the fabric of her story. Sharing the process of her awakening and how dreams and visions guide her, DeNicola stirs readers to listen courageously to their own inner voices. Her visionary quest takes her to the American West, Israel, and Southern France. Along the way she weaves together references from the Bible and the Gnostic Gospels, the story of Mary Magdalene, medieval history, the Templar Knights, the Black Madonnas, String Theory and quantum physics to find the repeated linkage between divinity and humanity.

Download or read book There is a Future written by Amy Bornman and published by Paraclete Press. This book was released on 2020-12-15 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning about the ancient Jewish tradition of midrash, a rabbinic form of textual interpretation that seeks and imagines answers to unanswerable questions, felt to Amy Bornman like a poetic invitation to re-engage with the Bible in a new way. There is a Future: A Year of Daily Midrash – an award-winner in the Paraclete Poetry Prize competition – grew from a yearlong project to read the Bible daily, and write daily midrashic poems in response to the readings—to honor the text by wondering about, and struggling with, it. By engaging particular passages of scripture across the Old and New Testaments directly, these poems imagine new dimensions of the text, and make vivid connections to the world as it is now and to the author’s own life—emerging at year’s end with new hope in a future that at times feels impossible, as the days pile on days and the text’s enduring questions continue to ring.

In an unexpected turn of events, she found herself in a strange place and time doing what she could, day by day, to live a life that would bless others and follow that still, small voice urging her forward. Facing situations she could never have imagined, dealing with things that would have profound consequences, she must often act quickly and decisively. At times she is painfully aware that her choices could have life-and-death outcomes. She also experiences times which seem to drag on in silence, apparently without purpose or design. Each day she must rely on influences outside of herself, the light within which is alternately bright and clear or so dim that it seems to be gone altogether. Her journey from the medieval Black Forest down the Rhine River takes her to Amsterdam at a time of great upheaval and change. Facing religious and political crises, she ministers to those around her physically, emotionally, and spiritually. At the same time, she is burdened with the search for answers that elude her. Where had she come from? Why was she here? Eventually she will know some of the answers and realize that she has begun a journey. But what is her role in this unique sojourn? How can she know if she is fulfilling the purposes set for her by an unknown hand? These things drive her onward, seeking, hoping, praying for the guidance she desperately needs. In this volume you will come to love Maggie and her faithful, indomitable spirit as she finds her way through many, many adventures.
