The year is 1976, and South Africa is gripped by a terrible lockdown - apartheid. Nelson Mandela is in prison on Robben Island; South Africa is isolated from the rest of the world, and revolution is in the air.Against this background, a young student at Johannesburg's Wits University decides to try and take control of his life, and his destiny, and give himself a sense of purpose. He challenges himself to run South Africa's most famous long-distance race, the grueling 90-kilometre Comrades Marathon.Little does he know that five years later he will win this most iconic of races and he will go on to be considered one of the greatest Comrades runners in the history of the race.In Winged Messenger, Bruce shares this 1976/77 training diary so that raw novices and experienced runners alike can follow the journey he took to his first Comrades. Novices particularly will enjoy reading about how he took his first stumbling, rudimentary steps and how, as an ordinary runner, he began to understand the demands of the race. He documents his mistakes, his successes and his progress towards his date with destiny in May 1977. Using his own experiences, he guides others, but particularly novices, on their quests to become winged messengers. This is a unique blend of both a training guide and a fascinating glimpse of the life of a young man in his quest to conquer both himself and South Africa's greatest race.
Have you ever felt lost? Have you ever felt confused? Have you ever felt angry? Have you ever felt used? I am sure that you have. Do you think of fate? Do you think of love? Do you dream of a break? Do you wonder what's above? I am sure that you do. I could probably go on listing countless things that we as human beings either think, feel and/or act upon. I call these "things" threads. Each one of us is a spool of thread and with each encounter, journey, burden, etc a piece of our thread unravels. Some of us may have enough thread to last for generations, some only for a short while; but we are all connected. When we're all sewn together we create a beautiful tapestry which encompasses a wide variety of story. The Threads of Life is my story. Take my hand and place yourself inside the story. Take from it all that I have given and know that no matter how dark and difficult things seem, there is always resolution in the end.

Humans have been chasing immortality since the beginning of history, seeking answers to sickness and aging, death and the afterlife, and questioning the human condition. Analyzing ideas from ancient Sumer, Egypt, Greece and India, as well as the Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, this study explores how early religious models influenced later beliefs about immortality, the afterlife, the human soul, resurrection, and reward and punishment. The author highlights shared teachings among the most influential religions and philosophies, concluding that humankind has not substantially changed its conceptions of immortality in 6,000 years. This continuity of belief may be due to chromosomal memory and cultural inheritance, or may represent a fundamental way of conceptualizing the afterlife to cope with mortality.

Birds are all around us—pecking at the sidewalk, perching on a nearby tree branch, flying in the sky above our heads. But have you considered the possibility that there is a deeper meaning behind each blue jay sighting or the call of a hawk?

In addition to a physical description of a variety of common bird species, it also includes the folklore and unique symbolism associated with each to help you understand the changes these mystical creatures want you to make in your life.

With this enlightening volume as your inspiration, get ready to reexamine your life from a bird’s eye view—one robin, crow, and hummingbird at a time.
This book is about thoughts that collected in my head over a period of time. Mostly Poetry, but, a few Short Stories that are all true. Some of the Poems are fiction and some actually happened to me. I believe you will be able to seperate the fiction from the truth as you read the book. I hope you enjoy reading the book and I truely think you will. Gary Reynolds

Almost every young lad, lying in the clover, daydreaming at the sky, at some point thinks ... “If only I could fly!” The author was no exception. The mysteries of flight have intrigued mankind since the earliest cave dweller first noticed birds. The desire to fly – to join the birds – has enrichened our mythologies with mystical winged beings that until modern times existed only in fantasy. Philip Moynihan’s brief overview of the early evolution of flight sets the stage for accounts of his greater than three decades of flying adventures that have taken him and his wife all over North America. By opening each chapter with a poem, the author helps non-flying readers acquire a visceral sense of what it feels like to soar among the clouds, suspended in space. His illuminating anecdotes will help you feel as though you are sitting alongside him as a co-pilot and fellow Sky Walker. From that young lad lying in the clover on a balmy afternoon, immersed in thoughts of flying, the author has come to realize those fantasies, as he and his wife have piloted their Mooney on incredible journeys to spectacular places throughout North America. You’ll enjoy their adventures in Spirit of the Sky Walkers.
