This is my first collection of poetry available to read for a wider audience. Within the book are many forms that consider varied and complex themes. From sensuality and sexuality to political statements this book is the culmination of two years work. I sincerely hope that you will enjoy it.
Patterns and Meanings consists of case studies which make use of corpora and concordance technology. Each case study elaborates a problem area, makes reference to both the descriptive and applied literature thus far, and then suggests ways of exploiting corpus data to shed light on the problem. Language phenomena investigated include word sense, phraseology and syntax, metaphor and creative use, text reference, idiom, and translation. Emphasis is given to information that usually cannot be found in dictionaries, grammars, language textbooks or other resources, but which the study of corpus data makes available. This work is particularly important not only for its language description insights, but also for pedagogical application. Further useful suggestions are included on setting up a medium-sized corpus on a personal computer.
A New Awareness is an endeavor of affection and generosity toward Sebastian Moore. The book examines his key theological insights and themes over seventy years and proposes that they are still relevant today for the Christian Community. He was a theologian and poet. He wrote about many theological topics: the significance of Jesus, the experiences of the disciples and their meaning for us, redemption, the Trinity, sexuality and ecclesiology, and original sin. But he is mainly known for being the theologian of desire: self-love to self-gift, desire is love trying to happen, to be myself for another, and the insight that there is no more wonderful reality than to be desired by the one you desire.
Theology is inherently theatrical, rooted in God's performance on the world stage and oriented toward faith seeking performative understanding in the theatre of everyday life. Following Hans Urs von Balthasar's magisterial, five-volume 'Theo-Drama', a growing number of theologians and pastors have been engaging more widely with theatre and drama, producing what has been recognized as a
After suffering sexual abuse at the hands of her father, Geena Leigh ran away from home at 15. Discovering that she could earn large amounts of money a few nights a week, and without any education or options, Geena fell into prostitution, first of all in Brisbane's Fortitude Valley and later in Sydney and overseas...During the years that followed much of the time Geena was addicted to drugs; she endured a failed marriage, a miscarriage, a failed attempt at IVF and charging a housemate with rape. Despite all this she managed to clean up her act, to complete her secondary schooling and go on to get a double university degree. Today she has a successful career and loving relationship...Geena's story is an honest and compelling account of her adventures, misadventures, and ultimate salvation...' I gazed intently into my blue eyes as I wiped off the thick layer of foundation, eye-shadow and ultra-glossy scarlet-red lips. I applied a light, fresh-faced amount of make-up and put my hair in a soft ponytail. I took the money from my work handbag and stuffed it into my jeans pocket, leaving the handbag itself on the dressing table. I didn't leave via the back entrance. I had no reason to hide. I didn't say goodbye to anyone. I walked purposefully across the floor for the last time and advised the receptionist, 'I know I've said this about seven times before, but this time I'm serious. I don't work here anymore.'..'OK. Sasha. All the best!' she said...I'd worked there for sixteen years. Felt like I grew up there. This time I walked out and never went back. I was free! '
Power and counterpower in the space of silence
The nineteen interdisciplinary essays assembled in WORD AND MUSIC STUDIES I were first presented in 1997 at the founding conference of the International Association for Word and Music Studies (WMA) in Graz, Austria. Diverse in subject matter, theoretical orientation, critical approach, and interpretive strategy, they share a keen scholarly interest in contemporary word-music reflection. Registering the impact of cultural studies on word-music relations, as manifested in the 'new musicology' and other 'historicist' approaches, the volume aims to assess the entire field of word and music studies, to define its subject, objectives, and methodology and to describe the field's state of the art. Within the broader context of generic, structural, performative, and ideological considerations concerning the manifold interrelations between literature and music, contributors explore wide-ranging topics, such as the vexing question of terminology (e.g. 'word and music', 'melopoetics', 'interart', 'intermedial', 'transmedial'); inquiry into the meaning, narrative potential, and verbalization of music; analysis of texted music (the Lied and opera) and instrumental music; and discussion of individual issues (e.g. 'ekphrasis', 'musicalization of fiction', 'word music', and 'verbal music') and interart loanwords (e.g. 'narrativity', 'counterpoint', and 'leitmotif').
One of the best-known and most provocative spiritual teachers of our time presents the Sutra of Forty-Two Chapters, sharing his unique insights into its profound ancient wisdom This rich and refreshing book invites us to travel with the Buddha on a path of radical wisdom. In his inimitable style, Osho interprets the Sutra of Forty-Two Chapters—a scripture compiled by a Chinese emperor in the first century CE—using wonderful contemporary anecdotes to make profound points. As we laugh or shake our heads at the folly of the characters in the stories, or marvel at their goodness, Osho engages us at every level to let us experience the Buddha’s teachings and take in their timeless truths. As he writes in this powerful book: "No belief is required to travel with Buddha. You can come to him with all your skepticism—he accepts and welcomes you, and he says, 'Come with me.'"
