Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was born under the Blue Ridge, and under that side which is blue in the evening light, in a wild land of game and forest and rushing waters. There, on the borders of a creek that runs into the Yadkin River, in a cabin that was chinked with red mud, I came into the world a subject of King George the Third, in that part of his realm known as the province of North Carolina. The cabin reeked of corn-pone and bacon, and the odor of pelts. It had two shakedowns, on one of which I slept under a bearskin. A rough stone chimney was reared outside, and the fireplace was as long as my father was tall. There was a crane in it, and a bake kettle; and over it great buckhorns held my father's rifle when it was not in use. On other horns hung jerked bear's meat and venison hams, and gourds for drinking cups, and bags of seed, and my father's best hunting shirt; also, in a neglected corner, several articles of woman's attire from pegs. These once belonged to my mother. Among them was a gown of silk, of a fine, faded pattern, over which I was wont to speculate. The women at the Cross-Roads, twelve miles away, were dressed in coarse butternut wool and huge sunbonnets. But when I questioned my father on these matters he would give me no answers. My father was—how shall I say what he was? To this day I can only surmise many things of him. He was a Scotchman born, and I know now that he had a slight Scotch accent. At the time of which I write, my early childhood, he was a frontiersman and hunter. I can see him now, with his hunting shirt and leggings and moccasins; his powder horn, engraved with wondrous scenes; his bullet pouch and tomahawk and hunting knife. He was a tall, lean man with a strange, sad face. And he talked little save when he drank too many "horns," as they were called in that country. These lapses of my father's were a perpetual source of wonder to me,—and, I must say, of delight. They occurred only when a passing traveller who hit his fancy chanced that way, or, what was almost as rare, a neighbor. Many a winter night I have lain awake under the skins, listening to a flow of language that held me spellbound, though I understood scarce a word of it.

Download or read book Who We Really Are written by Gadi Fishman and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Who We Really Are" originated on facts, not stories; it is about the strangeness of life and all we encounter in our passage through it. Who we are; when looking deep, is a difficult question to answer! Do we actually know that person we see in the mirror? While observing ourselves closely, do we like what we see? Are we familiar with our reflection? Do we recognize our needs? Are they reasonable? What do we seek? Is it worthy? Alternatively, maybe it is just suitable! Would we recognize joy if lacking the feeling of sadness? Could we really cherish the warmth from a loved one if we never walked the path of loneliness? Is it possible to cherish relaxation when avoiding pressure? How can someone value free will while ungratefully wasting his gift of life? Some of these questions we try to ignore, because at any given time, we do not have the answers, and if we do, we do not like them, so we continue with our life, living it in denial. In actuality, instead of observing ourselves, we are concerned about our image, and most of the time we are comparing our self with others. We recognize true value only when we have lost it. While suffering from our losses, we neglect all that still surrounds us. That is when ignorance takes over, and unconsciously we lose our righteousness. At that point, we engage in a quest to escape from reality. When we are successful, we slow and painfully lose our faith. But then again, in all our deeds, it is our nature to search for the easiest way through life; struggle is not an option. Consequently, upon encountering difficulties, we experience disappointment and stress. We fail to recognize that difficulties are necessary to achieve comfort. Feelings, bad or good, are our best gifts ever, so treasure them, and smile more often, because regrettable mistakes we formulate with a serious look on our face.
