Book excerpt: This is the "Water" issue of When Women Waken. It is our 10th themed issue, inspired by galvanizing talks by Terry Tempest Williams on critical water shortages around the world and the need for a spiritual recognition of water as the source of life, to be honored, respected and protected.Autumn Skye Morrison, a Canadian artist, is our featured artist. We considered Autumn's "Mourning Dew" painting for the cover to convey the seriousness of droughts around the world, but the bleak parched land might discourage some from picking up the journal, so we chose her "Compassion" painting, a goddess who we imagine is grieving the droughts and poisoning of waters from fracking, coal ash, lead pipes and more, while her hands are in prayer as if in supplication for divine mercy. Jamie K. Reaser, an American writer, poet and naturalist, is our featured writer. We are publishing two of her pieces, "Buoyancy," a memoir piece from the Our Stories, Too issue, and "What Matters,"a poem from her forthcoming poetry collection. We are pleased to include song lyrics by North Carolina singer-songwriter, Isabel Taylor. You can even listen to her perform the song if you visit her piece online. Enjoy the variety of poetry, prose, paintings and photographs on the theme of water. And if you'd like to connect with the contributors, look for their pieces online at whenwomenwaken.org/water and share your responses.

Download or read book Awaken You written by Shelly Bond and published by Voices Rising Press. This book was released on 2022-01-14 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Awaken You, yogi and storyteller Shelly Bond offers tangible ways of waking up to life. Part guide and part memoir, Shelly shares her journey of self-doubt to self-reflection and finally accepting love. With an authentic voice, she combats the inner critique as a way toward awakening to life flaws and all. Inside this soulful guide, are enlightened echoes of pain, loss, mending a broken marriage, parenting, acceptance, healing, compassion, forgiveness and more. Excerpts from the book: Being a conscious parent is more than a thought; it is a way of showing up for each and every child as the moment presents itself. The false perception of parenting tells us our children need to be a certain way; they need to look, act, think, behave, and test like everyone else, and if they don’t, we have failed in the parenting realm. These lies we have been fooled into believing are only putting more separation between parents and children. We can stop the destruction now. With the help of unconditional love, compassion, and forgiveness, we can carve a new path for how we will parent from this moment moving forward. Showing up and being a conscious parent is being open to what children are teaching us. Be open to how we can grow from them and with them, and work together to understand how each individual works. Today is a beautiful day to be alive. There is no better moment than this one; there is nowhere to go, nothing to do, except this moment here and now. Inhale a deep breath, pause in between the thoughts and thank yourself for showing up, followed by a sigh of relief on the exhale. There is a hero within us all, and dreams do come true when you hold them in your heart with belief, no matter what. I am inspired with love to share with you no matter your circumstances or life experiences. With help, we can change seemingly unchangeable events in our lives. How, you ask? With the power of thought and intention, linked with the power of loving and believing in yourself again. Or for the very first time ever. Speaking used to be my worst enemy. I held fear of failure and purpose may as well have been on another planet beyond our solar system. Yet, my journey and these words are more significant than fear. Allowing myself to be creative is a life with the possibility of purpose. No matter the fear, I still take the step; I still write the words even when it’s scary. I write when my heart feels like exploding out of my chest when words become constricting. Fear has never gotten me anywhere but down, yet purpose keeps me afloat.

Download or read book Waking to God s Dream written by Bishop Dick Wills and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The demands of congregational ministry are many, the rewards sometimes seem few, and burnout becomes a real possibility. Small wonder, then, that churches become stuck in a state of arrested spiritual development. When the pastor is functioning in a survival or maintenance mode, the church's vitality is often the first casualty. Yet Wills's own experience demonstrates that churches can turn around; the wind of the Spirit can be felt anew. This happens when the congregation is infected by the vision of what God is doing in their midst--a vision which the leaders, particularly the pastor, must bring before them. In Waking to God's Dream, Richard Wills shares the spiritual disciplines and insights which he believes account for the transformation of the congregation he serves from a large church in decline to one that is growing and reaching out to its community in a variety of creative ministries. Detailing the steps and initiatives that led to this turnaround, Wills demonstrates how personal commitment on the part of the congregation's leaders and ministers have been the key to the work they have accomplished.

Download or read book Waking Up in Eden written by Lucinda Fleeson and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2009-06-16 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like so many of us, Lucinda Fleeson wanted to escape what had become a routine life. So, she quit her big-city job, sold her suburban house, and moved halfway across the world to the island of Kauai to work at the National Tropical Botanical Garden. Imagine a one-hundred-acre garden estate nestled amid ocean cliffs, rain forests, and secluded coves. Exotic and beautiful, yes, but as Fleeson awakens to this sensual world, exploring the island's food, beaches, and history, she encounters an endangered paradise—the Hawaii we don't see in the tourist brochures. Native plants are dying at an astonishing rate—Hawaii is called the Extinction Capital of the World—and invasive species (plants, animals, and humans) have imperiled this Garden of Eden. Fleeson accompanies a plant hunter into the rain forest to find the last of a dying species, descends into limestone caves with a paleontologist who deconstructs island history through fossil life, and shadows a botanical pioneer who propagates rare seeds, hoping to reclaim the landscape. Her grown-up adventure is a reminder of the value of choosing passion over security, individuality over convention, and the pressing need to protect the earth. And as she witnesses the island's plant renewal efforts, she sees her own life blossom again.

Download or read book Stories to Awaken the World written by and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 992 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories to Awaken the World, the first complete translation of Xingshi hengyan, completes the publication in English of the famous three-volume set of Feng Menglong's popular Chinese-vernacular stories. These tales, which come from a variety of sources (some dating back centuries before their compilation in the seventeenth century), were assembled and circulated by Feng, who not only saved them from oblivion but raised the status of vernacular literature and provided material for authors of the great Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) novels to draw upon. This trilogy has been compared to Boccaccio's Decameron and the stories of A Thousand and One Nights. Peopled with scholars, emperors, ministers, generals, and a gallery of ordinary men and women - merchants and artisans, prostitutes and courtesans, matchmakers and fortune-tellers, monks and nuns, thieves and imposters - the stories provide a vivid panorama of the bustling world of late imperial China. The longest volume in the Sanyan trilogy, Stories to Awaken the World is presented in full here, including sexually explicit elements often omitted from Chinese editions. Shuhui Yang and Yunqin Yang have provided a rare treat for English readers: an unparalleled view of the art of traditional Chinese short fiction. As with the first two collections in the trilogy, Stories Old and New and Stories to Caution the World, their excellent renditions of the forty stories in this collection are eminently readable, accurate, and lively. They have included all of the poetry that is scattered throughout the stories, as well as Feng Menglong's interlinear and marginal comments, which convey the values shared among the Chinese cultural elite, point out what original readers of the collection were being asked to appreciate in the writer's art, and reveal Feng's moral engagement with the social problems of his day. The Yangs's translations rank among the very finest English versions of Chinese fiction from any period. For other titles in the collection go to http://www.washington.edu/uwpress/books/ming.html

Book excerpt: For almost thirteen years, Vivia has been a child. Now, suddenly, she's a woman. That's startling enough, but she's pretty sure she can learn to handle it.

She can make things happen—make water boil, make the wind around the campfire slacken—just by willing them to happen. All this is unsettling, but even scarier is the fact that she's been careless with her new-found powers. Her older brother knows what she can do, what she's becoming. Witchery, he calls it, and he also knows what will cure her. Now Vivia has a choice to make, and she'd better make it fast.
