Pages : 148
Book Description
Growing old doesn't have to be seen as an eventual failure but rather as an important developmental stage of creativity. Offering an absorbing and fresh perspective on aging and crafts, Jon Kay explores how elders choose to tap into their creative and personal potential through making life-story objects. Carving, painting, and rug hooking not only help seniors to cope with the ailments of aging and loneliness but also to achieve greater satisfaction with their lives. Whether revived from childhood memories or inspired by their capacity to connect to others, meaningful memory projects serve as a lens for focusing on, remaking, and sharing the long-ago. These activities often help elders productively fill the hours after they have raised their children, retired from their jobs, and/or lost a loved one. These individuals forge new identities for themselves that do not erase their earlier lives but build on them and new lives that include sharing scenes and stories from their memories.

Book Description
This is a book of freeform poetry written in both, English and Spanish from the point of view of a man who, without formal education and from a small village in the State of Jalisco, México, emigrated to the United States along thousands of others in search of a better life. In plain, visual language, he tells stories about his youth, about his family and traditions, and the sharp contrast between two worlds. The sometimes crude reality of his poems describe his arrival, his progress not only on learning English without a schoolroom but also his start on the labor force including picking fruit in California, his mishaps and adventures, his progress fitting in and, finally, the way he sees his home country at this stage on his life. Este es un libro de poesía espontánea escrito en ambos, Inglés y Español, desde el punto de vista de un hombre quien, sin una educación formal y proveniente de un pequeño rancho en el Estado de Jalisco, México, emigró a los Estados Unidos como lo hicierom miles de otros en búsqueda de una vida mejor. En un lenguaje sencillo y visual, él cuenta historias de su juventud, de su familia y tradiciónes y el agudo contraste entre dos mundos. En una forma realista y algunas veces cruda, él describe en sus poemas su llegada, su progreso no solamente en aprender el Inglés sin un salón de clases pero también su comienzo en la fuerza laboral incluyendo la pizca de fruta en California, sus tropiezos y aventuras, su progreso de asimilación y, finalmente, la forma en que vé a su país natal hasta esta etapa de su vida.

Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
Don't Be Afraid, Son. Gunfighter's Graveyard. If you like an Old Western Horror Gunfighter Novel with over 100,000 words. Then this book would be a good find? It came in a four-book series based on four different town scenarios. Different lawmen and evil gunmen will find one another in a gunfight to the death. Each will wake from a coma, dark deep sleep, or be sent back by the devil that made him raise his gun in the first place against good. A graveyard on the hill in town wakes. After a storm hit the town that same night. One grave began to wake with a hand blanketed in mud. One hand, then the other grabbed the wet mud earth or a branch on a tree in the ground. He crawled to his feet in old cowboy muddy boots. A tall, dark man stood in the drizzling rain, and his head tilted back. His stare on the night stars in the skies. The mud, dirt, and decaying tissue fell from his face and hands. One other began to rise from the same graveyard behind him. He stared at the same night sky as if something spoke to him from a place in between heaven and earth. One of them opened his arms. Each palm lifted and opened high in the dark. He opened his mouth to wash death still lingering on his tongue and lips. One other gunfighter crawled to his feet through the drizzling rain. Each gunfighter took a deep breath for the first time since he died huuu. Three men in dark cowboy boots and clothes take that first breath that opens his eyes in a bulge. Three Gunfighters Leave the cemetery behind the first gunfighter that left the wet Earth. The first gunfighter growls in the direction of the Town toward the bottom of the Hill. I will be there soon, Townspeople! As a faint heartbeat begins. His chest began to pulsate with heartbeats slowly. His heartbeat told the other men that their hearts would also be beating. Each footstep's heel on his boot kicked at the ground. One gunfighter behind the other pretends to tiptoe into town as the drizzling rain covers them like a blanket. Each gunfighter covers his head with a hat and long coat to keep the water from splashing against his chest. Each man wore a black hat, a long shin-length coat, and cowboy boots. Beneath, he wore a blue jean shirt and pants. Some are darker than others. The third cowboy with long chocolate brown shoulder-length hair stares forward in a baby blue dead-eyed stare. One behind the other, they vanish in a cloud of drizzling rain. Behind them on the other half of the cemetery. One other had risen through the wet mud earth. He also crawled to his feet in a pair of black cowboy boots. A Shiny Gun, Badge, and a Winchester lay on the wet mud. A man in a Marshall's Badge in Dark Brown Leather lifts it off the wet ground. One other man with a Badge followed the Marshall. One after him also crawled to his feet. They begin to leave the cemetery like the other men before them. They reach the road that leads into town. The rain cleansed Each in a Badge on the way into the town. Each with a hat, Winchester at his side, and a shiny gun. The sound of a Stagecoach made them listen and look. A Stagecoach hidden in the drizzling rain made them stare into the falling rain. The sound of a hyena laughing inside made Law Men Reach for his Rifle. The sound of wicked men rose from a stagecoach as it drew closer. I'm coming to town, Marshall. I'll be waiting, Gunfighter! I will bring a few friends. I will too. Will see which one of us will reach the Gunfighter's Graveyard. I will be waiting like I do every 58 years of lawman! Come out and play Marshall, sheriff, and do not forget to bring your deputies. We will be waiting. Did I shoot the sheriff haha? Of course, I did. It was me? The stagecoach, hidden in the falling rain, roared by as a sound of a hyena laughing left them in awe. It continued to roar toward the town in the falling rain and vanishes.
