Pages : 132
Book Description
The colors, the texture, the weaving, and the knots. This is how it all started: one coincidental chance meeting. There are forty stories that make this tapestry; there are dozens and perhaps hundreds of others that have come and gone and those yet not revealed. Here I share with you some of the beautiful moments of life that have revealed themselves to me as chance encounters but in each there has been a vivid revelation and realization, from the white cane that showed me the way of life to the cat in the bag who has helped me see. It is through the threading each of these stories together that I sit here now. In each moment as life reveals itself, we are able to see or to let the moment pass by. Join me in seeing how moments realized have so much to tell and so much to give. Each of these stories are one hundred percent real and true. I have changed the names of the people, but the characters, the thoughts, and the gifts that were given to me through the chance encounter all remain real and true. Please help me weave the next part of this tapestry by sitting with me for a while, reading these stories, listening to them, and sharing them. Simple and real... Perhaps but just perhaps you will start to see how in your own life a chance encounter has changed your life, and perhaps you will take a moment to say hello to someone you may not have otherwise, on a bus, on the sidewalk, on a plane or just passing by. Thank you for passing by. Touch this tapestry full of color, full of texture, full of revelations revealed just through a simple hello, a simple smile.

Pages : 300
Book Description
Margot Wright has led a deliberate life. At 18, she left her unusual and abusive family situation and never looked back, and then two years later she devoted herself wholly to Estelle Coté, her first and only love. But now, at 45, freshly retired from a career in antique firearms dealing, and settling into a new home with her wife, Margot finds herself feeling restless. Bored. She admits this to herself on the day she visits Le Galopant, a historic carousel that has become bafflingly meaningful to Estelle; and, as with anyone wishing to dodge a midlife crisis, Margot sets her feelings aside, intending to ignore them for as long as possible. At La Ronde, the amusement park where Le Galopant is showcased, Margot is accosted by a 17-year-old girl named Katherine de Wilde. Katy is hyper and unrefined, "rural," everything Margot cannot stand, yet she finds herself thinking more and more about the lisping girl in the Converse sneakers and "Meat is Murder" T-shirt as the days tread on. Even after Estelle discovers a massive secret she's been keeping for a decade, forces her into couples counseling and then on a road trip to confront this secret, Margot is unable to stop Katy from seeping into her thoughts. So when Katy phones her one morning with bad news, "They're taking down Le Galopant for good. It's broken!" Margot yields to impulse and pursues her interest in the girl. Set between Montreal, Quebec and various American cities, Carousel is a story about secrets--secret yearnings, lives, and losses--and the measures we take to protect our loved ones from the monsters we see ourselves to be.

Murmurings of the Heart
Author: P. A. Ramour
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1475957920
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 118
Book Description
This collection of poetry was inspired by poet P. A. Ramour's "Angel of Love," and it is with her in mind that he expresses his innermost thoughts and feelings of love. The poems in Murmurings of the Heart: One Angelic Kiss were inspired in the years after the poet P. A. Ramour discovered the relaxation and enjoyment of simply expressing his thoughts and feelings in verse. With no purpose or goal in mind beyond than the introspection, he writes of his early family life with humor and divulges some of his meanderings in nostalgia. Ramour's life changed considerably with the passing of his wife and a failed second marriage; in response to these changes, his poetry became a release for his overflowing emotions. The newfound freedom to follow his love of music ultimately led to the meeting of his "Angel of Love." Suddenly his need to write about his new love accelerated to an intense desire to pour out his heart in these poems. They became good friends, and before long her beauty and talent inspired Ramour to write of his love for her. Overwhelmed by her love of life, he opens his heart to her through Murmurings of the Heart. His verses reveal the true love and beauty of a relationship seemingly arranged in heaven for their golden years.

Masquerade – Love, Loss and all the Dross
Author: Gloria Bradley
Publisher: Troubador Publishing Ltd
ISBN: 1805144189
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
Masquerade – Love, Loss and all the Dross, a follow up to Gloria Bradley’s debut poetry collection Shadowlands – Mind, Mood and Memory is an expression of love and loss, of angst and ecstasy, experienced in the daily dramas that colour our emotional lives; of hopes and dreams submerged beneath a veil of armour, a mask we use to obscure our inner truths, fears and insecurities. Throughout this anthology, hopefully the reader will recognise and connect with the writer’s sentiments and observations. The rhymes interspersed between the more sombre subjects are meant to amuse, as a gentle reminder that we’re simply human in a world of fear and chaos, but one where love survives – dancing in the masquerade.
