When E. E. Cummings talks about “the deepest secret nobody knows,” he is talking about love and how love keeps the world, the cosmos even, from falling apart. Here is another “deepest secret nobody knows”: Studying grammar can be very enjoyable and life-enriching, and it is vital for every human earthling who wants to think and vote. Why is studying grammar important? Because language is all-powerful and because language is controlled by grammar – by syntax, to be more precise. Although syntax is at the heart of all that matters in human affairs, this book doesn’t want to be (nor can it be) a definitive study of English syntax. Nor does it want to reveal “truth.” Instead, the book invites you to go on a journey, to enter a process, to become aware of your dynamic relationship with language and life. While this book is an invitation to a journey, it’s also a snapshot view of an ongoing dance. And it’s a hands-on map of English syntax, a collection of overviews of many important syntactic structures, and a bridge connecting basic grammar with reading, perceiving, thinking, feeling, writing, real life, literature – and joy. The book wants to make the topics of syntax and style accessible and enjoyable to whoever wants to spend time with them. Friderike designed a color-parsing method that can be a helpful and enjoyable tool for analyzing the simplest and the most complex of sentences and styles. This method helps join intuitive, creative, and cognitive processes, making it easier for us to sort out what’s happening in sentences and texts and what kinds of reading they require from us. It is suited to meet the needs of beginners and pros. The book was designed as a one-semester course, which takes the reader from basic sentences that are as easy as “I love you” to the complexities of E.E. Cummings and Faulkner.

How would you feel if, when talking to your pets, you could listen to their reply? Here is a record of conversations between the authors--both of whom were trained by the celebrated animal telepath Amelia Kinkade--and their friends of other species that developed into a miraculous narrative of birth and rearing of kittens in a family of cats. Hilarious in parts and at times heart-searingly sad, you may be encouraged by the end of this book to tune in and listen to animals for yourself. "I have learned from my experience that consciousness is non-local and that through it we can communicate with our deeper wisdom with other living things. This book demonstrates how this can happen, how close the emotional life of our beloved animals is to our own, and how wise these beautiful creatures can be who share our planet." -- Bernie Siegel, MD; bestselling author of Faith, Hope & Healing and A Book of Miracles "This is such a unique and entertaining insight into the private life of animals that it would be a crime not to read it for yourself!" -- Brigid Gordon, CEO, Partners in Crime Books; animal lover "This is an invitation with the permission of the cats themselves to journey into the magical world of animal communication--a rare opportunity!" -- Maria Grachvogel, couturiere; cat owner

This book begins briefly with my story from my adoption as a baby into a family who were wanting another child, a daughter, and the many blessings that came from being in this family. To the unrest I felt throughout my life that led me to search for answers but wasn't conscious of this in my early days and sets the stage for the rest of the book. I began the artistic journey as a teenager in my bedroom where I would write and then felt compelled to create and was instinctively healing myself through this creative process. I give to those who are willing to walk with me on their healing journey these 12-creative processes as a tool in unfolding from within what's ready for transformation. I have drawn hundreds of mandalas and this is a series that I began to work with and channel in 2007 and that I believe is a gift to those who feel ready to utilize their power. They are a healing tool for you to divine one as your daily oracle. The 12-mandala process is a journey to be used with reverence and respect as are the 54 mandalas.

Expand and fill the space with grace! The collection Bliss 2 seamlessly follows its predecessor, Bliss. In simple and unique ways, these poems show how enlightenment comes to us only in the stillness of a quiet mind. A gentle expansion of awareness can be encountered with the turning of each page, leading to a soothing state of consciousness where the higher self rests. "Calm Your Mind" Calm your mind and close your eyes, leave the space that form occupies, feel your ability to effortlessly fly and freely, joyfully fill the sky. Also delve into nature as poet Debs Carling shares what can be learned from a fluffy white cloud, a sloth, and even a buzzing bee. Find simple truths in short poems like "Silence" in which Carling commands, "To master the space you are in, silence the place deep within." This is more than a poetry book; it is a wonderfully insightful journey into the essence of oneness and mastery of inner peace.
