Pages : 124
Book Description
I see the world differently. I see famous people. Rich, poor, the great, And the not so great. Some die young, And others die old. Some have many friends, And others dont. Its not my purpose to ask why. Its not my purpose to understand. I must somehow find My own purpose in life. Since the death of his sister in 2013, Richard Adcock has been searching for the meaning of life and answers to lifes greatest questions through poems that explore grief, loneliness, and pain and consider whether God really understands the human heart. With a raw and emotionally honest style, Adcock shares poignant reflections that contemplate his search for a purpose, his past, the consequences of unhealthy choices, the joys of new life, and the journey of death. Through his moving poems, Adcock demonstrates to others that no matter what our challenges, we are all in this life together. Sometimes I Daydream offers a lyrical glimpse into one mans walk through his trials as he works through loss, questions his purpose, and learns to view the world differently.

Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 183
Book Description
In this “exquisite personal blend of philosophy and engagement, inner quiet and worldly life" (Los Angeles Times), an acclaimed author returns to his longtime home in Japan after his father-in-law’s sudden death and picks up the steadying patterns of his everyday rites, reminding us to take nothing for granted. In a country whose calendar is marked with occasions honoring the dead, Pico Iyer comes to reflect on changelessness in ways that anyone can relate to: parents age, children scatter, and Iyer and his wife turn to whatever can sustain them as everything falls away. As the maple leaves begin to turn and the heat begins to soften, Iyer shows us a Japan we have seldom seen before, where the transparent and the mysterious are held in a delicate balance.
