Grant Me A Higher Love

These reflections are mere experiences that are common to most human beings. When life happens whether we are conscious or unconscious of these events, it brings us to a reality that some things in life happen randomly. There are noticeable constraints inherent to our existence, but ultimately we realize that we need to master ourselves, our emotions and embrace one truism that some of our pain is self-chosen.

Spiritually and metaphysically inclined, this self-help book bursts with wise and holistic directives and shares a visionary message on how to create and enjoy a truly loving relationship.

In 2006 Kit DesLauriers made history by becoming the first person to climb--and then ski--from the summit of each continent’s highest mountain, the famed Seven Summits. Centered on this quest, her book Higher Love represents a hero’s journey, rich with personal insights, life-threatening consequences, and a thrilling crescendo. Spanning seven continents in just two years, this deeply personal memoir recounts Kit’s initially secret journey that would change her life forever. From braving Antarctica’s bone-chilling temperatures to trudging through an African rainforest, from corn snow on the slopes of Australia to blue ice on Everest, Kit leads you up each mountain and gives you a heart-racing ride back down. This candid, fast-paced story shows how in¬spiration, teamwork, and honoring our true nature blazes the trail to every summit, on or off the mountain.

Originally published in 1941. This book stresses the transcendental, rather than purely aesthetic, qualities of William Wordsworth's work. It argues that the unusual aspects of Wordsworth's mind are not isolated and did not seem to him fanciful or merely personal; they were, for him, so many paths, difficult to find and harder to follow, yet leading to the great central truth that is the goal of all humankind's loftier strivings.
