All through the Bible, there are stories and psalms woven together by the theme of God's steadfast love. Sandra j. Combs adds her voice to those witnessing God moments in every day occurrences, while inviting the reader to do the same. Some God moments are undeniable, even if you may use a different term to describe the event. Others are more subtle, recognizable through hindsight and understanding. Either way, God is active in our daily lives, continually showing us his steadfast love.

Live by the codeLie by the codeDie by the codeCassiaI'm known as Valentine, and the code was all I knew. After being recruited into The Company at the young age of sixteen, life as I knew it ceased to exist. Gone was the innocent girl who was terrified of her own shadow. I became something I never would have thought possible; a dangerous, lethal, killing machine. An assassin, working for the good guys...or so I thought.My world came crashing down around me, after one fateful call. Now, I'm on a mission to take down every last one of those bastards who destroyed everything I believed in. And, I'm not alone. The only thing sweet about me, is the revenge I will serve.NashI work for The Company, a private sector of our government no one knows about. If they did, it could compromise national security, and we would have to take appropriate measures. The kind that would involve elimination. It was my job as Valentine's handler to keep her safe. We've never met. She's just a voice on the phone. A low, sultry, sexy voice. She knows me only as Sentry. I pass on the assignments from my boss, and she let's me know when it's completed. I used to think I was pretty good at my job, until things went to hell. Now, I'm one of those people who knows too much.

"Allison Grayhurst's poetic prose is insightful, enwrapping, illuminating and brutally truthful. It probes the nature of the human spirit, relationships, spirituality and God. It is sung as the clearest song is sung within a cathedral by choir. It is whispered as faintly as a heartbroken goodbye. It is alive with the life of a thousand birds in flight within the first glint of morning sun. It is as solemn as the sad-sung ballad of a noble death. Read at your peril. You will never look at this world in quite the same way again. Your eye will instinctively search the sky for eagles and scan the dark earth for the slightest movement of smallest ant, your heart will reach for tall mountains, bathe in the most intimate of passions and in the grain and grit of our earth. Such is Allison Grayhurst. Such is her poetry. THE RIVER IS BLIND is a must-read. " Eric M. Vogt, poet and author."When I read Allison Grayhurst's poetry, I am compelled by the intensity and strength of her spirituality. Her personal experience of God drives her poetry. With honesty and vulnerability, she fleshes out the profound mystery of knowing at once both the beauty and terror of God's love, both freedom and obedience, deep joy and sorrow, both being deeply rooted in but also apart from the world, and lastly, both life and death. Her poems undulate through these paradoxes with much feeling and often leave me breathless, shaken. Allison Grayhurst's poems are both beautiful and difficult to behold," Anna Mark, poet and teacher."Allison Grayhurst's poetry combines the depth and dark intensity of Sylvia Plath, the layered complex imagery of Dylan Thomas and the philosophical insights of Soren Kierkegaard, taking the reader on a fearless journey through the human condition, delving with honesty into death, grief, loss, faith, commitment, motherhood, and erotic love. Grayhurst intertwines a potent spirituality throughout her work so that each poem is not simply a statement or observation, but a revelation that demands the reader's personal involvement. Grayhurst's poetic genius is profound and evident. Her voice is uniquely authentic, undeniable in its dignified vulnerability as it is in its significance," Kyp Harness, singer/songwriter, author."Grayhurst's poetry is a translucent, ethereal dream in which words push through the fog, always searching, struggling, and reaching for the powerful soul at its heart. Her work is vibrant and shockingly original," Beach Holme Publishers."Allison Grayhurst poetry has a tribal and timeless feeling, reminiscent of the Biblical commentary in Ecclesiastes," Cristina Deptula, editor of Synchronized Chaos."Allison Grayhurst's poetry appears visceral, not for the faint of heart, and moves forward with a dynamism, with a frenetic pulse. If you seek the truth, the physical blood and bones, then, by all means, open the world into which we were all born," Anne Burke, poet, regional representative for Alberta on the League of Canadian Poets' Council, and chair of the Feminist Caucus."Grayhurst's rapturous outpouring of imagery makes her poems easily enjoyable ... Like a sear the poet seeks to fathom sensual and spiritual experience through the images of a dream." Canadian Literature.

Cora, una giovane restauratrice, trova in un baule due diari vergati da una calligrafia delicata. La lettura la trascina negli anni '60 e nella vita di Michela, una ragazzina, di cui ignora la vera identità. Inizia così un racconto parallelo - la vita di Cora nel mondo contemporaneo e le vicende di Michela - e una ricerca che condurrà alla scoperta di molti segreti. Donne di generazioni diverse sono le affascinanti protagoniste del romanzo, che si snoda tra flash-back e colpi di scena. Sullo sfondo c'è un affresco degli anni '60 in un discreto confronto con la società attuale.INCIPITMercoledì, 2 novembre 1966. Mattina. Piove. Piove senza sosta, da molti giorni. La noia è devastante. Non ho nulla da fare. Uscire è impossibile: il cortile è un pantano. Mi angoscio e sento un vuoto interiore. La pioggia che annega il cielo e la campagna, m'inquieta e ne ignoro la ragione. Ho deciso di scrivere. Provo un irresistibile bisogno di raccontare. Narrare è necessario, per vincere questo tedio struggente. Pomeriggio Noi ragazze non possiamo uscire e in tutto dipendiamo dagli adulti. Quando ho saputo che l'istitutrice andava in centro, sono corsa su per le scale strette e buie, e sono inciampata in un gradino: sarei caduta, se non mi fossi aggrappata al corrimano. Mi sono precipitata in portineria, appena in tempo. La signorina Mariella aveva già aperto la porta. Al mio richiamo, si è girata, sorpresa di vedermi. Michela, dimmi, ha esclamato, sollevando le sopracciglia sottili. Vorrei un quaderno, ho risposto. Come dev'essere? ha chiesto brusca, senza togliere la mano dalla maniglia, come chi ha molta fretta. Alto e con la copertina plastificata, ho precisato. Va bene. Lo vuoi a righe o a quadretti? ha aggiunto con un sorriso gentile. Ho sollevato una spalla e, increspando il labbro superiore, ho replicato: Fa lo stesso. Ha strizzato le ciglia e le pupille sono diventate piccole piccole. Per quale materia ti occorre? ha voluto sapere. La mia indecisione deve averla confusa. Nessuna. Scriverò di me, mi è sfuggito. Poi mi sono pentita. Ha spalancato le palpebre truccate con il kajal nero che sporca lo sguardo innocente. No, non dirmi. Anche tu, il diario? Sì, ho ammesso, seria. Ora, sorge il dubbio. La sua era una domanda o una critica? Ha alzato il mento. Che cosa scriverai? ha chiesto. A saperlo, ho pensato, abbassando gli angoli della bocca in un'espressione incerta. Inizio con la cronaca della mia vita, l'ho sparata grossa. Ha annuito con piccoli cenni del capo. Vedrò d'accontentarti, ha detto salutando con un gesto della mano. Poi ha aperto l'uscio. Grazie, torni subito, le ho detto, mentre si chiudeva la porta alle spalle. Avrei voluto suggerirle di non fermarsi al bar a bere il caffè e a parlare dell'Arno gonfio di pioggia, ma lei era già sparita. Sono ritornata verso lo studio uno, rasserenata dal suo buon gusto, aggrappandomi al regolo, per non ruzzolare dalla scalinata. Accidenti, è davvero pericolosa. Prima di rientrare, mi sono attardata in veranda accanto a una delle numerose porte finestra. Rapita dai rovesci dell'acqua, ho osservato la cuoca che guadava la corte con ai piedi un paio di stivaloni di gomma e si allontanava a passi lenti sotto la pioggia scrosciante. Viene giù a secchiate, da ore e ore. Ho fissa nella mente l'immagine della direttrice che, disperata, alza gli occhi al cielo e ripete: Ohi, il Signore Iddio s'è scordato di noi fiorentini.Il tema a piacere Sera. Ricordo d'aver fatto un tema, ricco di senso, in prima media di cui ancora conservo la minuta. È la mia prima storia. Oggi compito in classe, disse la professoressa, togliendo dalla borsa tre fascicoli di prove. Ma non ci ha avvisato, protestammo in coro. Indugiò un istante. Guardò da un angolo all'altro dell'aula e riprese a rovistare nella borsa. Non importa. È un tema libero. Voglio vedere se avete fantasia,

Laisser les clefs de son appartement à un ami pendant le mois d'août pour qu'il nourrisse les poissons rouges, c'est banal.

Surtout lorsque la Wallonie choisit ce jour-là pour déclarer son indépendance... Distribution: 2 comédiens et 2 comédiennes.
