5/24/2023 0 Comments Messy Ink by Ali LydaI could forget about how I’d left her on the couch while I ran to get disinfectant, the thought that she might roll off not even crossing my mind until it did. When rocking her, I could forget about the poo that had exploded from her diaper earlier, staining the beige couch in a Cheeto-orange smear. The gentle rise and fall of her chest and the heat of her pressed against me was so wondrous that for a moment, I could almost believe I was good at this. The soft smell of Giuliana’s hair sent waves of comfort through me, soothing me while the white noise machine hummed in the corner. It was the only time in the entire day I didn’t question if I’d made the right choice to be a single father. It didn’t matter that she’d already fallen asleep a half-hour before-the rocking was just for me. Finally, I had rocked Giuliana in the dark. It was far easier to put a clean diaper on a milk-drunk baby than try to do it before, when she was hungry and raging.Īfter the diaper came her footie pajamas, and the whole time I dressed her, I marveled at how small the jammies were, like a doll’s outfit. That was a trick my brother, Mason, had taught me. When her eyes had finally fluttered shut, her thick dark eyelashes dusting her rosy cheeks, I’d managed to change her diaper without any fuss. I’d fed my almost month-old daughter, Giuliana, her last bottle for the day. All of the proper nighttime rituals had finally been completed, and now I could almost breathe. 5/24/2023 0 Comments The 2030 spike by colin masonUltimately his message is clear we must act decisively, collectively and immediately to alter the trajectory of humanity away from catastrophe. In the face of both doomsaying and denial over the state of our world, Colin Mason cuts through the rhetoric and reams of conflicting data to muster the evidence to illustrate a broad picture of the world as it is, and our possible futures. Depleted fuel supplies, massive population growth, poverty, global climate change, famine, growing water shortages and international lawlessness are on a crash course with potentially catastrophic consequences. Within 30 years, in the 2030 decade, six powerful 'drivers' will converge with unprecedented force in a statistical spike that could tear humanity apart and plunge the world into a new Dark Age. Our world teeters on a knife-edge between a peaceful and prosperous future for all, and a dark winter of death and destruction that threatens to smother the light of civilization. 5/24/2023 0 Comments Sistersong lucy hollandAs they grow up, they see the world around them rapidly change they remember a Dumnonia where magic was tied to the very land, where magic came as naturally to the people as breathing. The story is narrated by Riva, Keyne, and Sinne, who are the three children of Cador. Brimming with magic, Sistersong is at heart a tale of dysfunctional family dynamics, one where Holland hands over narrative agency to the voices history silenced. Set in ancient Britain and revolving around a particular tribe living in Dumnonia, ruled by king Cador and queen Enica, Holland’s lush reimagining of the ballad is a fantastic amalgamation of historical fantasy and English folklore. Lucy Holland’s Sistersong is a retelling of the traditional British folk ballad The Twa Sisters, also known as The Cruel Sister. 5/24/2023 0 Comments The Feminine Light by Lao TzuThe temptation is to grasp at something tangible in the endlessly deceptive simplicity of the words. Note UKLG: Everything Lao Tzu says is elusive. The whole book is both an explanation and a demonstration of it. It’s not a statement susceptible to logical interpretation, or even to a syntactical translation into English but it’s a concept that transforms thought radically, that changes minds. Note UKLG: Over and over Lao Tzu says wei wu wei: Do not do. To let go of that belief is to find safety. To believe that our beliefs are permanent truths which encompass reality is a sad arrogance. Note UKLG: One of the things I read in this chapter is that values and beliefs are not only culturally constructed but also part of the interplay of yin and yang, the great reversals that maintain the living balance of the world. I think of it as the Aleph, in Borges’s story: if you can see it rightly, it contains everything. Note UKLG: A satisfactory translation of this chapter is, I believe, perfectly impossible. 5/24/2023 0 Comments Joseph blotnerThis means it had another life and was loved by others.

However, when the family moved to Portland, Beverly soon found herself in the grammar school’s low reading circle, an experience that has given her sympathy for the problems of struggling readers.īy the third grade, she had conquered reading and spent much of her childhood surrounded by books-either at home or in her public library.
