The snow fell silently upon the ground. The streetlight reflected upon a small and slender shadow standing motionless in a window above the street. As the intensity of the light increased, aided by the slight brilliance of the moon peering through the storm, the shadow became a shape and form. She was now an older woman of ninety-five years of age, petite, slender. Her long hair fell straight over her shoulders and its white brilliance became more exuberant in the light cast upon it. Her checks were pale and drawn well into her face. Her features were ordinary except for her eyes. Big brown olives in the midst of soft white skin that time had not altered. Josette sat by the window in her favorite chair and watched the snow fall gently as she did so many years ago. She remembers this scene when she was 25 years of age. She has just returned to her childhood home from a successful classical piano world tour. It was snowing outside. As she glanced at the snow through the window of her childhood bedroom, she reflected upon her past. Josette and Daniel met at The Juilliard school, and she brings him back to life and in turn Daniel restores her faith in love. They fell deeply in love and cared for each other. Josette and Daniel fell in love indeed at first sight. Josette was a freshman at the Academy that barely spoke and was often alone. He took an interest in her and the rest developed. Their relationship grew over the four years they spent together. They became good friends and a strong bond of love developed between them. Although the parted upon Josette's graduation, they found each other once again and their love was rekindled. Over the many years to come Daniel reunited with his old friends, the children took on their passions in life, both Josette and Daniel retired, and time indeed passed. Daniel and Josette grew graciously old together. They spent a lifetime loving each other and being there when needed by their loving family. They enjoyed and shared the joy of their children and grandchildren. They enjoyed and shared the joy of their children and grandchildren. Josette sat by the window and watched the snow fall gently as she did so many years ago. Her Daniel was now gone. Thoughts of Daniel filled her mind and loss filled her heart.

Почему нас гложут тревожность, эмоциональная усталость и неудовлетворённость? Почему раздражают близкие, привычный быт и даже собственный характер? Почему мы так часто мечтаем о покое и так редко его находим?Откуда приходит гнев и почему обладает неподконтрольной мощью? Почему мы превращаемся в орущее скандальное существо, потом ненавидим себя и в страхе перед рецидивом обрастаем бесполезными советами? Почему так легко теряется столь ценное спокойствие? Ценное, потому что его исчезновение приносит слишком много дополнительных потерь уважение, имидж, репутация, дружба...Ответы приводят ко всё более глубоким философским концепциям, которые помогают стряхнуть мучительные колодки привычной раздражительности и тревожности. А игнорирование глубоких причин и скольжение по поверхности рано или поздно оставляет один на один с вздымающимися валами эмоциональных штормов.За время своего существования буддизм разработал надёжные методы обретения внутреннего покоя - более глубокого, чем то, что мы привычно понимаем под «спокойствием'.

Tank Creek is a timeless account of North Idaho's outdoor lifestyle. With humor and passion former journalist Ralph Bartholdt captures the spirit of the Idaho Panhandle's wild places from the Snake and Salmon rivers to the Coeur d'Alene and St. Joe mountains of the Bitterroot Range. Tank Creek chronicles with erudition and insight the experiences, memories and lore of rural inhabitants as they hunt, fish and embrace the sanctity of their surroundings."This is how it works and why people say fly fishing is just another of life's mirrors: You breathe. You forget about the broken things. You let your heartbeat mark time and focus on future endeavors, count cadence, let distance and past fall away," Bartholdt writes in "The Whole Day.".

The Second Wind of the Aerial Leviathans is a series of true interlinking short stories and historical overviews focusing on a strange aeronautical era. They will help the reader unravel a confusing 30-year transitional time in U.S. airline history that started during the 1960s. This era was characterized by a glut of complicated, low-time, and cheap, large piston/propeller airliners (or "propliners"). These mechanical castoffs flooded the second-hand air transportation markets as the major airlines converted to jet technology almost overnight. The unintended consequence was a stampede of inexperienced wannabes that appeared out of the woodwork who were often willing to break the law for any opportunities to start their own airlines using these plentiful obsolete heavy aircraft for "no money down." Unfortunately, this caused an unparalleled era of disastrous air transport crashes that is hopefully to never be repeated. Yes, several highly experienced, legitimate operators of these old propliners were also flying passengers and freight during that era. However, such by-the-book operators faced severe regulatory hurdles that made it nearly impossible to stay in business much less expand, and where federal regulatory loopholes allowed the less-than-legitimate air renegades-and their deplorable safety records-to thrive and grow virtually unregulated. These interlinking stories feature the author's eyewitness accounts, focusing on the unending drama and legacies of legitimate St. Louis, Missouri-based operator Mark Aero, Inc. and its successor airlines-and the author's exploits that resulted. The reader will witness the great successes and overwhelming frustrations borne by Mark Aero and its sometimes out-of-control proprietors, founder Joe Morris and son Mark, the latter of whom shares his side of the story in "living color." Out of their frustrations, we will see the major contributions these two made to rebuild the entire airline industry for the better. Strap in! You're in for a pretty rough ride.
