Friday Finds
This week's finds:
1. The Ritual Bath by Faye Kellerman
I am very attracted to Jewish literature, and in summer I need books that are a bit less serious. A very good friend of mine suggested this novel to me - and I am already almost in the end! I will write a review as soon as I am finishing it.
2. Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress by Dai Sijie

Review of Case Histories- Kate Atkinson
The mysteries are fused with Jackson's personal life which slowed down the pace considerably. I did like the characters. They were complex, flawed, and real. The mysteries weren't all that interesting to me, though. As the story goes along you basically figure it out. No surprises… Continue

Poem: Moments of Clarity
of Your Light's essence,
to clearly penetrate
the core of my being.
How much can I endure
without Your Presence?
Though I may be frustrated,
it's You Lord, I'm believing.
It's been said before,
in Your Word's eloquence -
"nothing new" has been stated
and it agrees with what I'm seeing.
Moments of clarity, at the door
of Your Kingdom's brilliance,
are revelations of my faith's… Continue

Poem: On God's Mountain
with an elevated view,
could my chances increase
for getting a glimpse of You?
Standing barefoot in your presence
before a burning bush consumed,
would your glory envelop me
as a spiritual womb?
Moses saw your backside,
but show me instead your face and eyes.
Having direct interaction with you
should cause my faith to be revised.
Conquering obstacles of Life
via a mountainous… Continue

Blogger How Not to Look Old - Charla Krupp
Her take on things is little bit different than Bobbi Brown's. (see Wednesday's review) Brown seems to embrace and celebrate aging whereas to quote Krupp: "Aging sucks. " "We're going to fight aging - and we're going to look great doing it."
We are asked to define our maintenance level at the beginning of the book - how much time, effort and money are we willing to put in?… Continue

Blogger Living Beauty - Bobbi Brown
Bobbi Brown is an internationally renowned make up artist and beauty editor. What attracted me to Living Beauty was Brown's approach to aging. She encourages and celebrates women over forty.
"Aging (or getting older) should be seen as a process through which a woman can gain more vitality, strength, wisdom, and… Continue

Don Quijote, Part One by Cervantes
Right away we bump into a very intriguing and quite easily the key part of the whole text: the Author's Preface. Let's try to answer the "accomplishment" question from this point of view.
"...if I mistake not, this book of yours (...) is, from beginning to end, an attack upon the books of… Continue

Poem: Prone to Error
assisting us to reach maturity.
For our reaction to circumstance
marks personal growth beyond luck and chance.
Proven is our ability to learn,
expanding mental constraints as hearts burn.
Walking in upright, godly perfection
complements Jehovah's desire for Man's compassion.
The lasting goal is surely not religious fervor,
but moving past our fallen state of being...
Prone to error.
From… Continue
