Craig Wood is inspired by everyday events that many people experience, leading him to think about God and what we can learn from the message of Jesus. In The Meanderings of My Muddled Mind, he shares his thoughts in a lighthearted manner while addressing some often heavy issues. A compilation of articles originally written for a church monthly newsletter, the title is based on St. Paul’s idea that our vision is muddled, but, somehow, we need to keep seeking. Our knowledge will always be incomplete, but it never hurts to seek the kingdom of heaven. From the brushing of teeth to making soup, this collection finds meaning in ordinary events. With reflection questions included at the end of each narrative, The Meanderings of My Muddled Mind offers both inspiration and introspection.
"The Channel Country is of special interest because its extreme aridity is disrupted unpredictably by summer monsoonal rains, causing massive flooding, and is followed by prodigious growth of plants and reproduction of animals, before returning to daunting conditions of drought. Yet, it is a region teeming with life, both plant and animal, possessing unusual capacities for existing there. It is also a region favoured by hardy pastoralists and their livestock, who have learned to coexist with this harsh climate. In Meanderings in the Bush, the authors describe their many adventures and misadventures in the region, with its climate, its animals and its human inhabitants."--Back cover.
It’s only a matter of time, an explorer is weighed down by worldly matters, time or exhaustion. But when a mind sets out to wander, there are no limits as to where it can go and what it can find. The poems, short stories and anthologies in this book are musings from what I saw, felt, read and dreamt during my primary and middle school years. A reminiscence of a wandering mind to share with you. The elements, a glass of wine, innocence and love in Nazi Germany all come together in a mélange of emotions in The Meandering Mind.
Nora Fawn's daughter, Hope, disappeared four years ago. Nora has never known why. Refusing to answer her mother's calls, emails or texts, Hope maintained contact only with her big sister, Joy. Having once considered her mothering to be the greatest achievement of her life, Nora's spent these Hope-less years searching, aching, mother-guilting, working for a famous yet talentless artist and avoiding her own emotionally repressed mother, Daphne. But ... last night Hope rang out of the blue to say, 'I'm coming home, I'm getting married, the wedding is in three weeks and it's your job to organise it.' Desperate to prove her worth as a mother and regain her daughter's love, Nora commits to the task - assisted by her own increasingly dementia'd mother and her two best friends, Soula (an amateur bikini-line waxer) and Thilma (whom they found in a cab in the 1980s). My Daughter's Wedding is both hilarious and profound as it explores the confounding complexity, wild terrain, mountains, valleys and quicksand found in three generations of mother-daughter love.
In August of 2007, I started writing a weekly column for my hometown newspaper, the Northland Press. This book is a collection of those essays published over the years. They depict everything from life itself to my roots; nature, pet stories, holidays of the year, fishing, hunting, sports, eulogies, and memories of days gone by. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them. Mike Holst
It Was Nevada is a hard hitting book following the adventures of Terry Hope from his earliest days, to his ultimate goal of working on a Nevada cattle ranch. Yet, fate has strange ways and Hope soon finds himself at the University of Nevada pursuing a master's degree in agriculture and just as suddenly he finds himself on the staff as an assistant professor. Hope soon realizes that Nevada agriculture is in jeopardy. Dirty politics, federal intervention and a host of other questionable factors are at work. He and his close Basque friend, Peio "Pete" Echegoyen gradually grow into strong positions at the University. Together, they set out to do their utmost to protect Nevada agriculture. Hope convinces the dean of agriculture that the university must seek out and obtain a working cattle ranch. It's now or never! The Nevada's livestock industry is under siege. The goal is obtained, but ultimately at a terrible cost to not only Hope, but Nevada agriculture as well. It Was Nevada sets the stage for what was historically the state's number one industry; it follows the industry's struggle to survive as Nevada changes from the most rural state in the union to the most urban. The reader also has a chance to peek at some of Nevada's more sinful sides. It's a wild ride through the pages of Nevada history, some true, some fictional - it's up to you to decide.
An Orphan Girl. A Hellish Spirit. A fight for more than just her life... New Orleans, 1963. When Del Larouche leaves the St. Augustine orphanage, she is desperate to build a normal life for herself and Jimmy, the mentally handicapped boy she spent years protecting. But when a hellish spirit is raised from the dark swamps, unimaginable horrors begin to prey on the lost souls of the Crescent City, and Del’s soul is the most coveted. When she learns the truth of her secret heritage, she is faced with a choice: forego the gift she was born with for the normal life she dreams of or embrace her birthright and the dark consequences that follow. A Grimoire Dark is the spine-tingling first book in The Spirit Hunter supernatural thriller series. If you like black magic, strong female protagonists, and urban legends, then you’ll love this chilling tale.
Researching one’s family tree should be easy for a genealogist, right? As El Turner delves into her past, however, she discovers dark tangles of identity even she never imagined. If she’s not El Turner, who is she? When a man calling himself her uncle suddenly appears in town and is later found dead, El becomes the prime suspect. Trying to clear her name and uncover her true self are not easy endeavors. And if those issues aren’t enough to clutter her mind, someone attempts to kidnap her parrot, newly appointed Chief of Police Alan Poe is monopolizing her daydreams, a rumor of hot diamonds points her way, and a scruffy dog decides to adopt her. Is there a happy ending here?
The politics of everyday life is to be found, time and again, in meandering movements, in making connections across and between things in the rough and tumble of the seemingly banal, fragmentary and quotidian experiences that make up our day-to-day existence. The key point of the book, ideally as well as practically, is to realize that there may be something potentially significant, and politically significant, in the very act of making such connections, of understanding the supposedly trite and trivial world of the everyday against a broader political backcloth. There is merit in sifting the fragments, the fragmentary experiences, of everyday life in order to see how they imply a broader political totality in which they are situated and, at times, cleverly made to function. This intuition, broadly inspired by Henri Lefebvre, is reflected in and through the various and varying ways Porter puts to work the ideas and provocations of thinkers such as Raoul Vaneigem, Gilles Deleuze, and Soren Kierkegaard.
The Aesthetic Brain takes the reader on a wide-ranging journey addressing fundamental questions about aesthetics and art. Using neuroscience and evolutionary psychology, Chatterjee shows how beauty, pleasure, and art are grounded biologically, and offers explanations for why beauty, pleasure, and art exist at all.
