Love In Slow Motion

"Maybe it didn't end there. Maybe it started with a kiss..." The only thing Ilan Nadav knows about relationships and marriage is that they ruin people. He's committed himself to the bachelor life, and he's never been happier-until his best friend had to go and fall in the sort of toe-curling, sonnet-writing kind of love. Witnessing that created a hunger in Ilan, and now all he can see is the people standing near him who deserved better than they got. And one of those people makes his heart beat a little bit harder and a little bit faster-but he's the last man in the world Ilan is allowed to want. After all, Fredric Pedalino is his best friend's dad. When Fredric comes to him for advice about dating men, Ilan is forced to re-write his own reality-and maybe his stance on love, because Fredric is the sort of man with the ability to sweep him off his feet. Even when he isn't trying. Ilan wants Fredric more than he's ever wanted anyone before, but he's not sure he's willing to take the risk. After all, loving that man might cost him everything.

In this analysis of social history, examine the complex lineage of America's oppression of Black companionship. According to the 2010 US census, more than seventy percent of Black women in America are unmarried. Black Women, Black Love reveals how four centuries of laws, policies, and customs have created that crisis. Dianne Stewart begins in the colonial era, when slave owners denied Blacks the right to marry, divided families, and, in many cases, raped enslaved women and girls. Later, during Reconstruction and the ensuing decades, violence split up couples again as millions embarked on the Great Migration north, where the welfare system mandated that women remain single in order to receive government support. And no institution has forbidden Black love as effectively as the prison-industrial complex, which removes Black men en masse from the pool of marriageable partners. Prodigiously researched and deeply felt, Black Women, Black Love reveals how white supremacy has systematically broken the heart of Black America, and it proposes strategies for dismantling the structural forces that have plagued Black love and marriage for centuries.

At the heart of Oasis of Love, Whispers of the Soul is unity and love; from family and spiritual oneness, to nature and social equality, Judy Shannon’s poetry beckons the reader to consider the ethereal and mysterious moments in life as what makes it special and meaningful. Through poems and personal essays, this book explores the glimmers of the other side, which we can only see if we truly listen, and savor the moments. Judy captures deep and child-like love for her parents and siblings, spouse and child, and emphasizes love, trust, and appreciation. A childhood of California redwoods and sunsets, as well as the rugged West Coast of British Columbia, form the landscape of the book. From remarkable animal encounters to a near-drowning in Hawaii, Judy reaches for a deeper meaning in each narrative. These poems do not turn away from the darker parts of life: suffering, social injustice, racism, human rights, and illness, but infuse a thorough optimism and purity which seems to crystalize the heart of matters and radiate love and well-being. The purity of these poems will encourage readers to explore silence, meditation, inner guidance, and God’s love. They open their arms to the future—new unions and upcoming generations—while honoring those who have come and gone but will never be forgotten. From meditation retreats to vegetarianism, family trips to generational legacies, this is a book with a pure heart, and it will nourish the soul.

A blissful tale of Divine Love, honor and reverence a spiritual journey like no other. Mary of Magdala tells of her personal relationship with Yeshua, from the time they were both twelve years old, up until Yeshua's ministry began. Her story begins in Magdala, ending two decades later in the town of Bethany. She recalls vividly, the wondrous events, the trips to the outer fringes of Heaven, and the candid visitations past the boundaries of surrealism. At seventeen, Mary is smitten, and her father, who despises Yeshua, wants him out of her life. Mary ignores her father, and presses on terribly missing the point. She is heart-broken and will wallow in self-pity, angry with herself for not trying hard enough. This is when the romance of her soul begins; the subsequent trips are unique and super-extraordinary. But Mary's heart will cloud the gifts; she is lacking in cleanliness of spirit to comprehend the searing and beatific images of God before her. She will never know the true nature of the boy she had fallen in love with, until that awesome day in the desert night eighteen years later.
