Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Christmas is all. It is childhood fantasy, beauty, playful spirits, and sweet sentimentality-all wrapped up together in loveliness. In the figure of the benevolent Santa, fully seen only with the fantastical eye of a child, is personified generosity and the cornucopia of awaiting delights. Christmas is also coziness of home, bustle of preparation, the anticipation of celebrations revisited, and stories shared with ones we love. At its height and culmination, this supreme of all holidays elevates our selfhood to openheartedness and stirs our hopes for universal good will. Its signature of authenticity proclaimed is 'Peace to All!' In the vulnerable Child we place our care for the world. In return, we receive the saving gift of hope.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In Everything Matters, her newest volume of poetry, Kathleen Kramer has used her own photographs as sparks and seeds for the poems which richly inhabit this collection. In so doing, she has given both poets and photographers and their fellow travelers a great gift. Poets will find here yet again her inimitable gifts of patient attending to what wants to be revealed along with the rigorous discipline of finding just the needed words to sing her subjects into being on the page.Photographers will discover that her photographs also sing when we forego the all too common descriptors of our efforts as 'snapshots' or 'captures.' With her gentle and loving attention to each of these beautiful images, Kramer has taken us further into her own unique spiritual language of glory and praise. Having read and re-read this volume with the slowness needed, we come to see poem and image as together doing what all classic religious Icons do: open our hearts to the silent center, where we can be still and lovingly know another being, even as we in turn are known and loved.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Planting Wild Grapes showcases a writer at the height of her imaginative powers. Kathleen Kramer beckons the reader into a naturalistic world teeming with life-here we stand with her bathed in sunlight at the edge of a river, listening to the water rushing over the rocks as we contemplate our short time on this planet. In rich detail and without a trace of sentimentality, Kramer presents poignant stories documenting the universal truths of advancing age, declining health and the loss of loved ones. These are poems to be savored during seasons, read while sitting on the porch in the summertime and sipping a tall glass of lemonade, or rocking in front of a woodstove in the winter while the snow gathers outside the frosted windows of your living room.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This is a book composed of small moments: each one consists of a photo and a small poem. When each is viewed through the lens of the reader's heart, it is the author's hope that it will open into a larger moment, rich with personal meaning. This way of thinking-that the moment holds limitless meaning-began in the author's childhood. Her father was an outdoorsman who delighted in sharing the smallest of discoveries-secretive Trailing Arbutus in early spring, minty teaberries at the edge of the woods-and how living with an awareness of and love for them is endlessly enriching.Her mother had a strong love of color, but it was destined to be ended by blindness. The poet remembers her mother saying with poignant urgency, 'Look, Kathy! Look at those yellow leaves. And then, sadly, 'Yellow is the only color I can still see.' For all these intervening years-sixty, at least-color has called to the author, often in her mother's voice, 'Kathy, look!' The author guesses that you, the reader, also have a lifetime of such happenings that have shaped the gifts you have to share. It is her hope that this book of small poems can be a tribute to life's small moments-moments that have taken on enhanced value, moments burnished by the understanding that, as we age, each one holds the potential to be the ultimate moment. As seen through the eyes of an elder in a culture now shaped by the young, may these photos and the tiny poems that accompany them help you savor this very moment.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Lower Dauphin Wrestling: An Uncommon HeritageWhy a book about wrestling in a high school Why a book about a sport that at the varsity level lasts only six minutes-or less, if there is a pin This is that book, and six minutes into it you will see why. Written by one who was intrigued by the quiet intensity of the young wrestlers in her English class-boys from a wide spectrum, some with heavy home burdens, this author (who had never seen a wrestling match) soon learned a lot about wrestling, as will the reader. In 1960 Lower Dauphin High School, seated in quiet farmland only twenty minutes from the state's capital city, was composed of students from one small town and four surrounding townships-all rural. Very few of the new students yet knew any of the other students who would become their teammates. And the former home town high school would be losing its sports players to the new jointure. This was a potential nightmare-your senior year and you are surrounded by mainly strangers-some from a power house in football and the other with many years' experience as 'a wrestling school.' Sixty years later, Lower Dauphin High School is the proof of such success. And with that has come An Uncommon Heritage. Lower Dauphin Wrestling: An Uncommon Heritage does not provide a list, guide, or an instruction book on 'how to be a wrestler.' What we do have, however, are adults who encouraged young men to find something in the sport of wrestling that they had not found elsewhere and to guide them to use the skills that wrestling provides, including the opportunity for positive changes and for opening many doors, beginning in competition and ending in lifelong friendships. More particularly, the human stories not widely known deserve to be seen in retrospective daylight. The triumphs and defeats of the wrestling mat are, in many cases, not even the most compelling part of the story. The athletes of these pages climbed a mountain of effort, emotion, and sacrifice before ever stepping onto the mat or hearing a referee's whistle. And excelled.…
