In 0.4, the first of a new trilogy by Mike Lancaster, that is what happens to Kyle Straker, one of four people who volunteer to be hypnotised at a village fete. You no longer belonged inside your home and the people you grew up with didn't recognise you. Imagine if, in just one day, the whole of humanity changed out of all recognition - except for you, and a handful of others like you. Today he lives in Cambridge with his wife, who is an equestrian vet, and three daughters as well as a variety of dogs, cats, ponies and Geckos, which keep him busy when he's not writing. 0.4, published by Egmont Press, is his first published novel. Mike always wanted to be a writer and has spent several years doing a variety of jobs while practising his writing skills. When he was eleven he found himself living in a vast council estate after his parents split up. Mike Lancaster was born in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, in the UK and as a child lived in small rural villages in the area.

(Such as in the famous manga Dragon Ball, where the dragon is a creature able to grant wishes.) Although East Asian dragons possess terrible powers, their roles as divine messengers and wish granters make them an object of worship.The figure of a dragon ascending to the heavens found in pictures and sculptures is known as the "Rising Dragon." The image of a dragon rising up towards the heavens is meant to convey the meaning of valiant and ferocious spirit. However, East Asian dragons are known as kings and messengers of the gods. Western dragons have the image of being terrifying monsters and are demonic symbols of evil. How did the slipper become so common in Japan?Īlthough Western dragons and East Asian dragons share the same name in English, they have quite different images. We learn all about Amanda’s turbulent relationship with a mother who seems to have an alcohol dependency. The Princess section of this book was strange for me, there were some poems that were beautifully written but had absolutely no emotional weight to them, they were just pretty words but others were so raw and heartbreaking they brought tears to my eye. I like not knowing much about poetry collections and Dear Wallflower by Sara Secora is one of the favourite books of all time, the review for that is linked below. I didn’t know much about the content except that it features themes of life and all of its love, loss, grief, healing, empowerment, and inspirations. I was informed that the first three parts relate to the life of Amanda Lovelace while You serves as a note to the reader. Review: I didn’t know much about The Princess Saves Herself in This One other than it is a poetry collection divided up into four parts The Princess, The Damsel, The Queen & You.

They fight as viciously as if they were thrashing corn, neither willing to give in and Robin becoming especially incensed when the stranger cracks him on the crown hard enough to draw blood. He goes to a thicket and chooses a thick oaken staff, then runs back to the bridge where they agree to fight with their staffs until one of them falls off. They challenge each other with their respective weapons, and the stranger remarks it's unfair that Robin has a bow and arrows while he has only a staff, so Robin agrees to take up a staff for the fight. In his roving, Robin meets a stranger on a bridge over a brook who won't give way. This is the story of how they met: Robin is out and about with his men and leaves them on call to rove the forest on his own in search of "port" (5.1). Although called "little", John is seven feet tall, large-limbed, and fearsome to behold. When Robin Hood is twenty years old he meets another brisk and fit young man named Little John. It is a story in the Robin Hood canon which has survived as, among other forms, a late seventeenth-century English broadside ballad, and is one of several ballads about the medieval folk hero that form part of the Child ballad collection, which is one of the most comprehensive collections of traditional English ballads. Robin Hood and Little John is Child ballad 125. Robin Hood and Little John, by Louis Rhead, 1912 It was riddled with ups and downs but you can’t help but feel everything with these characters. This wasn’t the typical third-act conflict type of book. I drank every damn page like it was my only source of water. The diversity in this book was amazing to see! The writing was □□□□□□□□□□. I can go on and on about how beautifully written this masterpiece was. I read this so slowly because I knew when it would be over I’d be a wreck. You know when you read a book and you feel like if you don’t read it in one sitting then you’ll enjoy it less because the rush of the newness leaves and its appeal dies down? Yeah, this was □□□ that. Update: I just read the bonus chapters and ugh I’m in dire need of my very own Nate, please and thank you <3 "'Today I am completely 'out' personally and professionally, and yet I have learned that the 'coming out' process never ends. These essays also ask how the language of Jewish tradition touches the lives of lesbians and how lesbianism challenges traditional notions of the Jewish family. The contributors consider the tensions between lesbian identity and Jewish identity, and inquire whether there are particularly "lesbian" readings of traditional texts. They also reflect on the dilemma whether to conceal or reveal their sexual identities to their congregants and superiors, or to serve specifically gay and lesbian congregations. In frank and revealing essays, the contributors discuss their decisions to become rabbis and describe their experiences both at the seminaries and in their rabbinical positions. Lesbian Rabbis: The First Generation documents a monumental change in Jewish life as eighteen lesbian rabbis reflect on their experiences as trailblazers in Judaism's journey into an increasingly multicultural world. Rabbis both interpret to their congregations the requirements of Jewish life and instruct congregants in how best to live this life. The office of rabbi is the most visible symbol of power and prestige in Jewish communities. This book deals not with knowledge, which is always past tense anyway, but with imagination, which is physics come alive, which is Wu Li. The Wu Li Master always begins at the center, the heart of the matter. The Wu Li Master does not teach, but the student learns. Zukav explains the concept further: The Wu Li Master dances with his student. Like a Wu Li Master who would teach us wonder for the falling petal before speaking of gravity, Zukav writes in beautifully clear language-with no mathematical equations-opening our minds to the exciting new theories that are beginning to embrace the ultimate nature of our universe.Quantum mechanics, relativity, and beyond to the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen effect and Bell's theorem.Īt an Esalen Institute meeting in 1976, tai chi master Al Huang said that the Chinese word for physics is Wu Li, "patterns of organic energy." Journalist Gary Zukav and the others present developed the idea of physics as the dance of the Wu Li Masters-the teachers of physical essence. Gary Zukav has written "the Bible" for those who are curious about the mind-expanding discoveries of advanced physics, but who have no scientific background. In this play he presents himself in a clam collective manner he does not really represent the aspects of human nature he is god of: he merely facilitates them. He understands.Īnd he is capable of great good and filling the needs of his subjects, but his whims can easily slip into darkness. Every so often we all need a good binge of some sort and any god that denies our needs is a very poor god. In a way he represents excess, the excess of human emotion and passion. Every set of self-respecting Gods needs one like him on the team. Not only is he the god of theatre (a huge passion of mine) but he is also the god of wine, festivals, ecstasy and madness. He is repose from all cares - he is sleep!" He is release of limbs and communion through dance. Why? Because he is the coolest, simple as. Dionysus is my favourite ancient Greek god. |a Little Bear's thank-you kiss from grandmother gets passed on to him by many animals and greatly aids the skunks' romance.
