Book Description
In the spring of 1916, seventeen-year-old Kishan Singh is euphoric in his village Noor Mahal in Punjab, British India as he dreams of going to college, landing a government job and marrying his heartthrob Roop. Summer flies in with promise but ends in disaster when heavy rains flood the fields, wrecking the cotton crop and triggering influenza which leaves behind a trail of dead villagers. Kishan Singh’s dreams are ruthlessly washed away. Devastated, he sets off on a life-threatening voyage across two oceans for a distant and unknown land. On a cataclysmic day in 1919, Sophia’s idyllic world in Guadalajara, Mexico, falls apart when she becomes a hapless victim to the ravages of the Mexican Revolution. She battles hunger, poverty and near prostitution before embarking on a perilous night journey across the border. Will their paths cross in the land of opportunities that is overrun with racial and class barriers? The Rainbow Acres is a moving saga of migration, selfless love, fortitude, friendship, and the quest for land and identity, set against the backdrop of old Punjab, early California and revolution-torn Mexico.

See What You're Missing

Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
Taking us into the minds of artists—from contemporary stars to old masters—See What You’re Missing shows us how to look and experience the world with their heightened awareness. Artists are expert lookers: they have learned to pay attention. The rest of us spend most of our time on auto-pilot, rushing from place to place, our overfamiliarity blinding us to the marvellous, life-affirming phenomena of our world. But that doesn’t have to be the case. In his inimitable engaging style, Will Gompertz takes us into the minds of artists—from contemporary stars to old masters, the well-known to the lesser-so, and from around the world—to show us how to look and experience the world with their heightened awareness. In See What You’re Missing we learn, for example, how Hasegawa Tohaku can help us to see beauty, how David Hockney helps us to see colour, and how Frida Kahlo can help us see pain. In doing so we come to know the exhilarating feeling of being truly alive. See What You’re Missing is at once entertaining and enlightening art history while delivering empowering new insights to its reader.

Book Description
Where Is Our Path Taking Us? There is more to our identity than our physical bodies; our soul's journey is an extremely important part of our life. When living within the energy of the 5th dimension, our hearts and souls are beginning to expand as time is forever changing. We can learn to evolve internally and externally, eliminating any limitations that we have placed upon ourselves by thinking out of the box. Approaching life by consciously monitoring our thoughts, feelings, and actions can lead to our soul's growth and our soul's advancements on a path of making small changes, which can result in major shifts in our level of consciousness that allows us to see the divine spark within, now viewing the impossible as possible. We can find peace with the chaos in our life by finding peace within our hearts, as we gradually learn to raise our vibrations by changing our perception and our way of thinking. We can easily and effortlessly shift the course of our life when we tap into the divine knowledge and wisdom, drawing from our intuitive knowledge in order to align and empower our magnificent being. Through these changes, we can bring forth the potential to bridge the gap between the physical and spiritual worlds. We are about to venture off to a new journey to learn about our own unique higher self and our own personal quest for a deeper understanding of our own life. Through the world around us, we will be establishing a connection with the deeper sense of self by finding our true center, our balance, and gaining the ability to connect by interweaving the opportunities and possibilities of both the physical and spiritual worlds. Knowledge is power. Only knowledge can assist us in finding the key to higher levels of consciousness.
