Download or read book A Mourning Dove Sings My Song written by Charley Pierce and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2007-09 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This novel is actually two books. The first details a culture that was passed through several generations in this nation. The second, starting with WWII, shows how changes-social, cultural, and technological caused it to virtually disappear. Some of that was good and some not. These pages cover a century, but focus on the years 1931 to 1966, a tumultuous time in our history. The tale stretches from Depression dollar-a-day wages to prosperity and TV. Throw in three wars. It is the history of a community of uncommon, common people that has seldom been told. They were sometimes flawed and funny, but their courage, traditions, and wisdom made a marked difference in our world. When the author has questioned those who lived during those times, he has heard tales of disapointment. They have traveled back to the places they knew and find those people and the places they loved gone. He wants to take them home again. To later generations, he introduces a world they know little of. It was a place of unlocked doors, 5 cent ice cream cones, the Dow at 75, family farms without electricity, plumbing, or running water, and a continuity of culture and family. The author lived in such places--watching and listening, like the doves. The characters and families are a varied lot whose lives often take unpredictable courses. They faced the Great Depression, drought, murder, suicides, rape, war, racial and religeous prejudice, and economic upheaval they were not prepared for. The era played out differently for the many characters depending on their social, ethnic, and familial status.Hessie Starbuck, the heart and soul of a county and small town, listened to their triumphs and sorrows and befriended them---and the doves watched over them all. Hessie had a secret.If a reader needs a break from the 21st century, a little feel-good might be refreshing--mixed in with the conflicts and travails of the characters lives. The author would like readers to get to know and love these people he created the way he does. This is his hymn to those people and the society that raised him and gave him his values.

Book excerpt: According to Mayan prophecy, the world will end December 21, 2012. It is a mystery how the Mayans came to this conclusion; it is also a mystery how to stop certain doom. But in all their wisdom, is there a possibility that the Mayans knew how to postpone the end of the world? If so, could there be an ancient text that reveals the answer archaeologists seek? Anthropologist Kate O'Hara thinks so. She and a team of fellow academics stumble upon a mysterious Mayan codex while investigating in the Yucatan Peninsula. Before the codex can be authenticated, however, it disappears, and the team begins to receive death threats from a menacing secret society. Luckily, Kate already made a copy of the manuscript, and so begins the lengthy process of translation, despite the terrible danger to their lives. The codex reveals the story of Ahkan, a Maya shaman, and her cousin and soul mate, Took Pac, a priest of the Maya Temple of Kul'kul'kan. Took Pac discovered a secret text written by the Mayan king and prophet, Chan Bahlam II. Kate believes the answer to the world's crisis may be found in the words of Chan Bahlam. Now she must try to translate the manuscript in time and live long enough to share the good news with others.

Download or read book The Call of the Mourning Dove written by Stephanie Rutt and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-05-20 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spiritual seekers across faith traditions share a fierce yearning for mystical unity with their God. While beliefs and practices differ, what ignites the human heart to quest for the mystical, the unknowable, the holy just beyond understanding, is the same. The Call of the Mourning Dove: How Sacred Sound Awakens Mystical Unity offers a new paradigm, the Sonic Trilogy of Love, that details how sacred sound, embedded in the ancient canons across faith traditions, creates just such a portal into this unmitigated experience of God. Because the experience is ubiquitous across faith traditions, it does not matter whether a seeker has embarked on an eclectic quest for God or remains deeply committed to questing within one particular faith tradition. All seekers, known as Lovers within the Trilogy, discover that by intoning the sacred sounds, the Love embedded in the ancient languages, the conditions are set to experience unity with God, the Beloved. This unity occurs in unforeseen moments, as love, the core organizing principle of the Trilogy, circles in on itself, dissolving all distinctions, leaving the Lover filled with only the silent wonder of God. And, graciously, nothing is the same.

When a fellow student bullies her and tells her she is an Indian, Deborah wonders why. Taught by her elderly Hopi Indian mentor to solve all her problems without resorting to violence, the strong-willed Deborah continues to hold her head high throughout her challenging coming-of-age journey. But when she is thirteen, her parents inexplicably turn against her and one another, setting off a chain of events that change the course of Deborah's future forever. She marries her childhood sweetheart Christian Nelson, and they have two sons, Jonathan and David. In 1929, they buy a farm in Northwest Kansas ignoring concerns about the future economy and drought. Christian worries about those in their county who believe Deborah to be Indian. Neither can begin to predict the challenges that await them. The Mourning Dove's Message shares the unforgettable journey of one woman's brave struggle to survive in the face of the chaos and adversity that overshadows 1930s America.
Download or read book Dream Walking With Shadows written by Susan Elaine Graves and published by PublishAmerica. This book was released on 2011-07-08 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gulf waters sing a beautiful song. As the wind blows its waves along. The crimson sky paints the setting of the sun. Glistening waves roll in then run. Manatee swim freely in the Springs. The Egret ready to fly, spreads her wings. Gators swim from the banks where they lay in the heat of the Florida sun. To the warm waters to feed when the day is done. Fishermen reel in their lines. Then head home to cook their finds. Bathers on the beach wrapped in a towel. Go to their cars when they hear the waters growl. Splashing against the rocks, Gulf Waters make a pounding sound. When the high tides roll up onto the higher ground. Sea Gulls and Pelicans rest on the rocks. Gathering there in large flocks Then all the echoes disappear into the night. Bringing celestial bliss until daylight.

Download or read book Applied Spirituality Seeing Through the Illusion of Our Separateness written by Robert Colacurcio and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-10-14 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a compilation of six smaller books that were published between 2012 and 2014. They were written as though I were taking dictation. Some higher power unlocked the gates of inspiration and articulation, and I wrote almost continuously for three hours every day without ever fi rst composing an outline for any of these books. Instead of coming out as gibberish, they form a coherent, and I feel, cogent whole, and so I have grouped them together in one volume. Performance excellence in any fi eld requires, among other things, a clear goal that can be methodically approached incrementally in manageable steps and stages. Without a clear goal, there can be no cogent methodology. Accomplishment in the practice of a spiritual discipline that leads to excellent results is no diff erent. Together these books off er a clear goal and method for accomplishing what I feel is the universal target of every valid form of spiritual practice, namely, seeing through the illusion of our separateness. This goal is universal to every form of spiritual aspiration. The methods outlined in this book, therefore, bypass every form of sectarianism. They can be applied and practiced by anyone of any faith who is sincerely motivated to deepen in the spirit that unites us all.
