About This Candle I have struggled through an unusual amount of heartaches this year. The death of my fairy goddaughter RaeAnne. The first anniversary of my dog Ranger's passing. The disintegration of a business relationship that nearly killed my passion and sunk zena moon. The difficult yet necessary decision to end two friendships. Facing (which is not yet the same as resolving) my emotional reasons for numbing out with food and alcohol. Living with the Bush/Cheney regime and the war in Iraq. The past few months have felt like one prolonged battle during which, at one point, I literally fell to my knees and cried uncle. The result? Surrender, awe, fear, humility, peace, miracles, acceptance, a deepening relationship with the Divine . . . and the creation of this candle. I dedicate this candle to my Dad, who celebrated 30 years of sobriety in AA on May 4, 2004 -- and who helps me remember to let go and let God. Thank you, Dad. —Carla Blazek, creator, zena moon |

From Amazon.com: Celebrated for almost five centuries as a master of spiritual literature, 16th-century saint, Teresa of Avila, is one of the most beloved religious figures in history. Overcome one day by a mystical vision of a crystal castle with seven chambers, each representing a different stage in spiritual development, Teresa immediately wrote Interior Castle. Probably her most important and widely studied work, it guides the spiritual seeker through each stage of development until the soul's final union with the divine. Free of religious dogma, this modern translation renders St. Teresa's work a beautiful and practical set of teachings for seekers of all faiths in need of spiritual guidance. It also places this classic in a contemporary context, reasserting its spiritual and literary importance even after more than 400 years.
3. Make Me an Instrument of Your Peace

Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: Kent Nerburn's Make Me an Instrument of Your Peace immerses us in the spirit of one of the most universally inspiring figures in history: St. Francis of Assisi. The Prayer of St. Francis boldly but gently challenges us to resist the forces of evil and negativity with the spirit of goodwill and generosity. And Nerburn shows, in his wonderfully personal and humble way, how we each can live out the prayer's prescription for living in our everyday and less-than-saintly lives.
"Where there is hatred, let me sow love...Where there is injury, let me sow pardon..." Expanding upon each line of the St. Francis Prayer, Nerburn shares touching, inspiring stories from his own experience and that of others and reveals how each of us can make a difference for good in ordinary ways without being heroes or saints. Struggling to help a young son comfort his best friend when his mother dies, moved by the courage of war enemies who reconcile, being wrenched out of self-absorbed depression by responding to someone else's tragedy, taking a spirited old lady on a farewell taxi ride through her town--these are the kinds of everyday moments in which Nerburn finds we can live out the spirit of St. Francis.

From Amazon.com: It is with primitive urgency and lustrous clarity rising like flickering embers from a fire that Jonathan Elias's ambitious Prayer Cycle is given voice. Woven together like knotty wool, silk, and fine strands of silvery water, the disparate yet complementary voices of the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Alanis Morissette, Yungchen Lhamo, Ofra Hazer, the American Boychoir, Salif Keita, and others intertwine in multiple languages with the superb English Chamber Orchestra and Chorus. Prayers of supplication, gratitude, and longing build in layers, one on top of and 'twixt and 'tween the other, as movements titled "Mercy," "Grace," "Innocence," "Compassion," and the like. Remarkably, Elias's Prayer Cycle eloquently captures the ecstasy, pain, grief, and sublime beauty of humanity--as he simply and poignantly writes in his liner notes, "The world we live in is both joyous and cruel."
2. The Passion of the Christ (Score) [SOUNDTRACK]
Original Release Date: 2004
Avg. Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: One word: stunning. Like the film, the score for The Passion of the Christ is gripping and beautiful. John Debney successfully blends Middle-Eastern and Occidental musical styles to create a film score that is rich in depth and diversity. It accurately conveys the film's sorrow and beauty in a such a way as to leave one begging for more. Inserting Middle-Eastern instruments (and at points actual melodies) into the fabric of the music gave an authentic glimpse into the time and setting of the film. Immediately after seeing the film, I realized that a new height had been reached in the art of giving a film its musical soul.

From Amazon.com: Emotional, ethereal, and evocative, Immortal Memory is a timeless album of extraordinary transcendence. Gerrard, formerly of Dead Can Dance, won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Academy Award for the Gladiator score. She's also scored or contributed to Heat, Whale Rider, Ali, The Insider, Mission Impossible 2, Black Hawk Down, and more. Patrick Cassidy is widely recognized as Ireland's most important classical composer and has released three acclaimed albums. He also wrote music for "Broken Harvest," the aria for the opera scene in Hannibal, and he was specially commissioned to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Irish Famine with his work, "Famine Remembrance," premiered at St. Patrick's Cathedral, NY and narrated by Angelica Huston.
1. Whale Rider
(2003) ~ DVD
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: One of the most charming and critically acclaimed films of 2003, the New Zealand hit Whale Rider effectively combines Maori tribal tradition with the timely "girl power" of a vibrant new millennium. Despite the discouragement of her gruff and disapproving grandfather (Rawiri Paratene), who nearly disowns her because she is female and therefore traditionally disqualified from tribal leadership, 12-year-old Pai (Keisha Castle-Hughes) is convinced that she is a tribal leader, and sets about to prove it. Rather than inflate this story (from a novel by Witi Ihimaera) with artificial sentiment, writer-director Niki Caro develops very real and turbulent family relationships, intimate and yet torn by a collision between stubborn tradition and changing attitudes. The mythic whale rider--the ultimate symbol of Maori connection to nature--is also the harbinger of Pai's destiny, and the appealing Castle-Hughes gives a luminous, astonishingly powerful performance that won't leave a dry eye in the house. With its fresh take on a familiar tale, Whale Rider is definitely one from the heart.

From Amazon.com: Bestowing Jim Carrey with godlike powers is a ripe recipe for comedy, and Bruce Almighty delivers the laughs that Carrey's mainstream fans prefer. The high-concept premise finds Carrey playing Bruce Nolan, a frustrated Buffalo TV reporter, stuck doing puff-pieces while a lesser colleague (the hilarious Steven Carell) gets the anchor job he covets. Bruce demands an explanation from God, who pays him a visit (in the serene form of Morgan Freeman) and lets Bruce take over while he takes a brief vacation. What does a petty, angry guy do when he's God? That's where Carrey has a field day, reuniting with his Ace Ventura and Liar, Liar director, Tom Shadyac, while Jennifer Aniston gamely keeps pace as Bruce's put-upon fiancée. Carrey's actually funnier before he becomes Him, and the movie delivers a sappy, safely diluted notion of faith that lacks the sincerity of the 1977 hit Oh, God! Still, we can be thankful that Carrey took the high road and left Little Nicky to Adam Sandler.

From Amazon.com: Based on a true story, Rabbit-Proof Fence moves with dignified grace from its joyful opening scenes to a conclusion that's moving beyond words. The title refers to a 1,500-mile fence separating outback desert from the farmlands of Western Australia. It is here, in 1931, that three aboriginal girls are separated from their mothers and transported to a distant training school, where they are prepared for assimilation into white society by a racist government policy. Gracie, Daisy and Molly belong to Australia's "stolen generations," and this riveting film (based on the book by Molly's daughter, Doris Pilkington Garimara) follows their escape and tenacious journey homeward, while a stubborn policy enforcer (Kenneth Branagh) demands their recapture. Director Phillip Noyce chronicles their ordeal with gentle compassion, guiding his untrained, aboriginal child actors with a keen eye for meaningful expressions. Their performances evoke powerful emotions (subtly enhanced by Peter Gabriel's excellent score), illuminating a shameful chapter of Australian history while conveying our universal need for a true and proper home. | |||||||||
