This realization that neither time nor choices are limitless is both daunting and exciting. This is the moment to take stock and figure out how to make the best of every precious moment of the rest of your life. And to develop the tools to be able to do so again and again.

Wild and Precious Life

Hot tears rolled down my cheeks. The voice on the tape continued. “Serenity is the quality of being calm, clear, quiet, composed. Equanimity is the spacious stillness that accepts things just as they are unfolding moment to moment.

Poetry. FERVOR: POEMS FROM THE EAST VILLAGE is a celebratory exploration of the rituals of love, loss, and desire. The collection sifts through the inner emotional landscape of the development of romance through chivalry and gender dynamics, following the destruction, mourning, and healing as relationships grow, change, and end. The urban textures of New York both amplify and distance human connection and relation as the city itself becomes a lover.

'A beautifully written exploration of a woman's endeavour to let go of fear' JOEY SOLOWAY, creator of Transparent and I Love Dick 'An unputdownable page-turner . . . an adventure into the expanse of Alaska's wild . . . I never wanted this book to end' T KIRA MADDEN, author of Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls 'There's truth and beauty on every page of this gorgeous and gripping book' CHERYL STRAYED, author of Wild Amy Butcher was an accomplished college professor, mentor and writer, but in her own home, she was embarrassed and emotionally burdened by an increasingly abusive relationship. Exhausted and terrified of the ways her partner's behaviour could escalate, Amy reached out to Instagram celebrity Joy 'Mothertrucker' Wiebe. Joy was a fifty-year-old wife and mother and the nation's only female ice road trucker, a woman who maneuvered big rigs through the Alaskan wilderness along the deadliest road in America. Joy was everything Amy wanted to be: independent, fearless, and in charge of her life in a landscape dominated by men. Invited by Joy to ride shotgun, Amy found her escape on a road that was treacherous, beautiful, and exhilarating ? an adventurous ride through the Alaskan wilderness that was profoundly life changing. Mothertrucker is the story of that bracing four-hundred-mile journey navigating snow-glazed overpasses, ice-blue curves, and near plummets. It's also the stories that led them both to Alaska ? an interrogation of the reality of female fear, domestic violence, and how to overcome ? and an exploration into just how galvanizing friendships between women can be. Soon to be a major film starring Julianne Moore.

Just why do churches put so much energy into repackaging and explaining their holy book in words more people (even their own people) might understand? Many of us don’t really want to know who “the wicked” are, or what “sin,” “righteousness,” “God,” or “Lord” might mean, because they are part of a religious world we don’t belong to. So what could we possibly have to learn from a text that is baked in that stuff? Much is being rediscovered in contemplative, meditative, and wisdom traditions, often dating back millennia and transcending religious worldviews. It should be no surprise then that there is indeed precious insight into human life to be found in the ancient Hebrew writings too. But how do we access it? It is time to offer a portion to everyone, all humans, regardless of background or religious affiliation, as we ask questions we have always been asking. Where is my life headed? What are my influences, and how do I react? Can I affect society? Do I feel stupid? Confident? Do I meditate and feel a reassuring sense of presence or terrible loneliness? Do my choices define me? When I try to act positively, am I part of something bigger? What is life all about? Where does suffering fit in? Love has a vital role in the process, and atheists, secularists, humanists, spirituals, religious folk—all humans should find more compelling spiritual insight here than we ever dreamed possible.

This book proposes answers to the question of why parks are failing their mandate to be preserved undiminished for future generations. Those answers are deeply embedded in one word: belief. The book provides a practical guide for preparing park managers for a new era where the beliefs that created parks are matched by the beliefs that steward them - an era where promises made to unborn generations are matters of honor, not to be dismissed by the limits of science, the reality of budgets, or the inconvenience of revising management models. The book offers a new way to view parks, as essential public services and as social assets rather than natural resources. The book has 19 chapters and a subject index.
