About This Candle I have recently entered a new dance with surrender. What I have learned to be true is that risk, courage and vulnerability are intricately intertwined--and that all are possible only through surrender. By surrender I don't mean weakness, and I certainly don't mean handing yourself over to another person! Heaven forbid. On the contrary, this surrender calls to the relationship between you and your God/Goddess/Great Spirit. I believe surrender is strength. It's the whisper of our intuition, the beginning of our prayer. Above all surrender is trust. Letting go of expectations and outcome in order to allow Spirit to work divinely on our behalf. And then, as always, paying attention... —Carla Blazek, creator, zena moon |

1. A Deeper Surrender : Notes on a Spiritual Life
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: "A deeper sense
of surrender." These were the last words Stuart Perrin's spiritual teacher
said to him before being killed in a plane crash. For years, Perrin had sought
insight and spiritual teaching throughout the world, only to finally find them
in the laughing, Buddah-esque form of Rudi, a popular, iconoclastic,
Jewish-American guru. In
A Deeper Surrender,
Perrin distills Rudi's teachings--while adding a generous measure of his own
-- on relationships, sex, livelihood, spiritual development, teachers,
students, yoga, and perhaps most importantly, staying centered and getting
grounded. The teachings are full of paradox. We fight and we surrender, we
struggle and we let it happen, we engage and disengage, we advance, retreat,
study with a teacher, go it alone. How could it be otherwise? Spirit is so
overwhelming, so mysterious, so real, as to dwarf our conceptions and belief
systems. Simply put, find your own path to spiritual growth as it unfolds in
front of you.
A Deeper Surrender
is an indispensable guidebook for treading a spiritual path without getting
stranded, distracted, or lost.

A Year By the Sea: Thoughts of an Unfinished Woman

From Amazon.com:
"I'm beginning to think that real growing only
begins after we've done the adult things we're supposed to do," confides
Anderson, a journalist and author of children's books (Twins
on Toes, etc.). She came to this conclusion after a year living
alone in a cottage on Cape Cod. Feeling that her marriage had stagnated by the
time her two sons were grown, Anderson surprised and distressed her husband by
refusing to move out-of-state with him when he accepted a new job. In this
accessible memoir, she shares the joy and self-knowledge she found during her
time of semi-isolation. In order to supplement the income from her royalty
checks, she found a job in the local fish market and began making new friends
who sustained her. After her hot water heater broke down and her husband
refused to help, she earned additional money for the repair by digging and
selling clams. Through vivid and meticulous observations about the natural
world, Anderson makes clear her strong affinity for the ocean, with its
changing tides, subtle colors and burgeoning life. A Memorial Day reunion
brought Anderson and her husband closer; shortly thereafter she embraced his
plan to retire and live with her in the cottage. Anderson has recently begun a
"Weekend by the Sea" program for women who need time to reflect.

issues of control? Judith Viorst, author of bestselling
Necessary Losses and
the recipient of various awards for her journalism and psychological writings,
cobbles an answer from a variety of sources--the works of biological and
social scientists, psychoanalysts,

South African choral music is renowned for
passionate singing and soul-stirring harmonies. The Soweto Gospel Choir is
made up of top talent from throughout that hard-scrabble yet celebrated
Township. All sixteen tracks were seemingly recorded studio-live with no
overdubbing or after-the-fact prettying-up. "Paradise Road" is led by a
powerful pair of female voices who sing in English about walking hand-in-hand
toward a place where there will be no more pain. It is almost unbearably
poignant. A ceremonial yet ecstatic version of "Amazing Grace" renews the
power and grandeur of a seriously hackneyed hymn. The selections are either
sung a cappella or accompanied by a guitar-led mbaqanga combo, plus drums,
hand-clapping, stamping, exhortations, whistling, and high-pitched ululations.
There is even a taste of sacred R&B and hip-hop! The lord being praised here
is obviously a robust but loving realist; the voices are redolent of humanity
in all its fragile, undying splendor.

From Amazon.com:
Winner of the 1997 Academy Award for
Best Foreign Language Film, this charming Czech drama uses the backdrop of the
Russian military occupation in Prague for its funny, sad, and ultimately
delightful story of a 55-year-old man's friendship with a 5-year-old boy. It
doesn't exactly start out as friendship: Louka is a cellist who lost his
symphony job after writing a sarcastic remark on an official form, and
although he's struggling financially he still enjoys the company of several
young women who find him irresistibly sexy. The last thing he needs is a
surrogate child, but that's what he gets when young Kolya is abandoned by his
mother, a Russian woman Louka had agreed to marry so she could avoid being
sent back to Russia. The mother runs off to her boyfriend in Germany, leaving
Louka with a 5-year-old kid who only speaks Russian! As directed by Jan Sverák
(whose father, Zdenek Sverák, plays Louka), this predicament offers a lovingly
detailed account of how Louka and Kolya discover each other, and how their
mutual awkwardness evolves into a heartwarming father-son relationship. While
the Russian presence creates an atmosphere of suspicion and restriction, the
deepening connection between Louka and Kolya turns this into an unforgettable
film, beautifully photographed, sensitively performed, and directed with just
the right combination of subtle sentiment and harsh reality. Its Oscar was
definitely well deserved. | |||||||||
