Charles Frode doesn't recall the moment when he first realized that words have power to injure and power to heal, but he recounted to me once the impact that that realization had and still has on him. An author from youth, Frode's poetry originates in his spiritual quest that eventually took him to a Trappist monastery where he met his Narcissus and discovered the archetype he was living out. He subsequently wrote and published his memoir, I Am Goldmund: My Spiritual Odyssey With Narcissus. He has written and published three collections of short stories, and The Garden: Perennial Reflections on Beginnings and Ends.The poems in this collection span 60 years of spiritual seeking; longing loss and love; and 40 years of teaching high school English Language Learners, creative writing students, and currently incarcerated juveniles.
How long does it take for scars to heal? How long does it take for a scarred memory to fester and rise to the surface? For Marubini, the question is whether scars ever heal when you forget they are there to begin with. Marubini is a young woman who has an enviable life in Cape Town, working at a wine farm and spending idyllic days with her friends ... until her past starts spilling into her present. Something dark has been lurking in the shadows of Marubini's life from as far back as she can remember. It's only a matter of time before it reaches out and grabs at her. The Yearning is a memorable exploration of the ripple effects of the past, of personal strength and courage, and of the shadowy intersections of traditional and modern worlds.
You might not think digging at a 6,500-year-old bison kill site can teach you much about life, but Michael McEwen Randall begs to differ. At age fifty-three, Randall found new life at midlife as he made the transition from successful Seattle businessman to Northern Plains-based writer. Through a series of inspiring, true events, he discovered how to become more human and learned how to reshape his existence as "a servant of the map". Becoming Human includes more than fifty vivid essays and profiles of people and experiences Randall has encountered on his journey. Search for the past at an archeological dig at the site of a buffalo kill in South Dakota. Take a voyage on a tramp steamer in Southeast Asia and encounter an adventure like no other. Meet a group of Dakota (Sioux) grandmothers bent on saving their young people from America's dominant culture. Walk in the shoes of a police officer and see a great city's underbelly. Randall's unique voice links contemporary life to history, philosophy, and faith, engagingly demonstrating how these issues impact us all today. Becoming Human offers a deep, compassionate view of American life.
The superficial life is one that denies authenticity. But life, at some point, life demands nothing but truth. For Emily Francis and her three daughters, the cataclysmic event of 9/11, becomes the catalyst for their personal transformation. If I Should Die Tonight is a generational story of Emily Francis, the matriarch with many secrets and her three daughters Randy, the grand dame of the East Side of New York, Ashley the successful but frustrated Journalist, and Amelie, a Wall Street Titan whose only dream is to be a Classical Pianist. It is a story of love and loss of betrayal and forgiveness, of secrets and lies. Above all it is a story of women who are determined to live inside of their truths, no matter the cost. A breathtaking and compelling novel about the meaning of one's life.
This book is a thorough and critical, comparative analysis of the logic of modern scientific thought and of traditional teachings generally referred to as mythological and mystical. Different rationalities with different domains of interest and legitimacy exist, which should not be confused and cannot be unified in any theory of "Ultimate Reality." Atlan suggests they must coexist in practice, although each of them presents itself as an exclusive and all-encompassing truth. The book introduces teachings from Jewish talmudic, midrashic, and kabbalist sources and text from Zen and Taoism to exemplify the kind of rationality or controlled irrationality at work in such traditional thinking.
Robert Levine examines the American romance in a new historical context. His book offers a fresh reading of the genre, establishing its importance to American culture between the founding of the Republic and the Civil War. With convincing historical and literary detail, Levine shows that anxieties about foreign elements--French revolutionaries, secret societies, Catholic immigrants, African slaves--are central to the fictional worlds of Brockden Brown, Cooper, Hawthorne and Melville. Ormond, The Bravo, The Blithedale Romance, and Benito Cereno are persuasively explicated by Levine to demonstrate that the romance dramatized the same conflicts and ideals that gave rise to the American Republic. Americans conceived "America" as a historical romance, and their romances dramatize the historical conditions of the culture. The fear that reputed conspiracies would subvert the order and integrity of the new nation were recurrent and widespread; Levine illuminates the influence of such fears on the works of major romance writers during this period.

We’re relentlessly behind the curve, dousing fires everywhere, and our 3 a.m. insomnia provides the only unscheduled thinking time of the day. What we need reinserted in our lives is the missing element of white space—short periods of open, unscheduled time that, when recaptured, change the very nature of work. White space is the stepping back, the strategic pause, the oxygen that allows the sparks of our efforts to catch fire.

With Juliet’s memorable stories, easy-to-use tools, and razor-sharp instruction, she carves for us an escape route from the overwhelming amount of low-value tasks and the daily avalanche of e-mails, meetings, decks, and reports.

Whether you are an individual trying to build a more sane and humane flow of daily work, a team that wants new levels of efficiency and effectiveness, or an entire organization changing your culture toward thoughtfulness, this book will lead you there.
This book is dedicated to my father Jerome Williams. This book is a combination of the writings of my father and mine. A collection of poems, letters, and stories. These poems and letters are true work of both authors and the stories I wrote are pure and positive imagination. This is a rare collaboration of its kind because my father had life in the Maryland State Penitentiary and wrote his poems before he passed on. And me his son was incarcerated in a Federal prison in Allenwood, Pennsylvania where my writing began. Although both of us were incarcerated in different states; ironically we wrote on some of the same subjects but different titles. I don't know if it's hereditary or just a freak incident. But growing up I have always heard people say, "Like father, like son." So please enjoy this extraordinary book by father and son. Which will share some of our deepest thoughts, emotions, and experiences through our writings in the plight of our incarceration?
