Book Description
From the author-illustrator of The Book of Mistakes comes a gorgeous picture book about caring for your own heart and living with kindness and empathy. My heart is a window. My heart is a slide. My heart can be closed...or opened up wide. Some days your heart is a puddle or a fence to keep the world out. But some days it is wide open to the love that surrounds you. With lyrical text and breathtaking art, My Heart empowers all readers to listen to the guide within in this ode to love and self-acceptance.

Book Description
About Straight from the Heart Writing is a gift from God. I thought I would first publish short stories and next a novel. When I was thirteen, I wrote my first poem. When I was seventeen, I had a poetic thought that was not completed until many years later. Straight from the Heart is a collection of poems written over a period of years. I began writing more frequently from 2003 to 2007, a total of fifty-five poems. My daughter made comments on how much she enjoyed them and that I should write more. . Many of these poems are about my daughter and family. These poems come from deep, heartfelt feelings and points of view. This book is poetry at its finest. It is the poetry of love, triumph, journey, and .life. Coming straight from the heart.

Book Description
This is a emotionally charged tribute to the author's late husband, detailing his life and death as well as his reappearance in various guises. Rooted in the elegance and reality of nature and family, Priscilla Ellsworth's poems become a gift, a primer on 'how to live / and how to die.' In an early poem she chides, 'Husband, wake up!' She is a wife who wants her husband's presence. Life: travel with family, work in the garden with him, the joy of his peonies - 'What if we had lived like this all our days?' Death arrives midway in the book: 'So this is it.' That single line, poignant, direct, straight to the heart. The poem 'Dawn Fire' which follows with its description of hunters and needless death takes one's breath away. In 'New Widow, ' when Ellsworth writes, 'For now my heart is a garden that cannot be turned, ' she keeps us in the rhythm of the natural world: for all its death, it will bring spring. Here are poems to trust."

Book Description
How do you know when you are in love? What is true love and what is not? How can I find a person to love and share the rest of my life? Will true love come to me naturally? How can I build a relationship? The poems in my book answer these questions. People are eager to find true love—love that will not last a short period of time, but for a lifetime. Eternal Love is designed to answer these questions and more. It is divided into two sections that correspond to the way most people “experience” love: the explanation of love and the love poems (using poems and love letters that I created). Each part highlights a particular aspect of love, what love is, and how it can be obtained. Many philosophers and writers have tried to find the true meaning of love, yet true love remains to be one of the most mysterious feelings on this planet. Sometimes we are not always aware when true love comes our way. True love is not something we can control. It takes control of our mind, body, and soul. However, when it does come our way, it enriches our lives and makes our heart sing with joy. True love is magical, and no one should have to live without it. Eternal Love: Romantic Poetry Straight from the Heart is a collection of poems that describes the true meaning of true love. So find a comfortable spot in your home and get ready to encounter the magical journey of eternal love.

Book Description
Straight from the Heart brings together an inspiring collection of Buddhist teachings, songs of realization, meditation instructions, and enlightened poetry—all chosen for their power to speak directly to the student. Drawn from Indian Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism as well as from all four schools of Tibetan Buddhism, some will impress with their beautiful poetry and powerful imagery, others with their profound power of instruction. Still others share personal advice for life that seems to come directly from the mouth of the author, and some serve as immediate and profound practice instructions. Several are just delightfully unconventional, even outrageous, letting in fresh air on petrified views or musty traditions. Most of them are simply unknown precious gems, which deserve a wider audience. Each of the works is preceded by a brief introduction and a short biography of its author. Many of these are legendary accounts of supernatural feats, edifying examples for students on the same spiritual path meant to expand their limited outlook with “mind-blowing” stories. Miraculous deeds, magnificent songs, and pithy instructions distinguish this collection assembled by the Buddhist scholar and translator Karl Brunnhölzl, whose years of work among dharma texts and his skill as a translator yield a rich mine of teachings all chosen for their ability to speak directly to the heart.
