DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Muse has a great sense of humor. She had been speaking to me when I awoke in the morning, so I promised her that when I awoke with her words in my head, I would write them down. She began awaking me at two and three a.m. I kept my promise. The writings here are the result. She spoke to me of the story of The Grand Empt and his invitation to the great adventure, of stories from the Bible, of unseen birds singing, and of the temptations of spiritual candy. She spoke to me of the Voodoo Zombie World, of Endarkenment, and of prayers to circumvent their effects. She gave me words of delight, like "transuniversalphilosynthesis" and "spermeggo". She spoke to me of transformations of consciousness, of spiritual intelligence, of falling to pieces, and of the bone of karma. She spoke to me of naked water flowing, of the essence of healing, and of Jonah and the Worm. The Muse kept her promise and I kept mine. The rest is up to you.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTell This Silence by Patti Duncan explores multiple meanings of speech and silence in Asian American women's writings in order to explore relationships among race, gender, sexuality, and national identity. Duncan argues that contemporary definitions of U.S. feminism must be expanded to recognize the ways in which Asian American women have resisted and continue to challenge the various forms of oppression in their lives. There has not yet been adequate discussion of the multiple meanings of silence and speech, especially in relation to activism and social-justice movements in the U.S. In particular, the very notion of silence continues to invoke assumptions of passivity, submissiveness, and avoidance, while speech is equated with action and empowerment. However, as the writers discussed in Tell This Silence suggest, silence too has multiple meanings especially in contexts like the U.S., where speech has never been a guaranteed right for all citizens. Duncan argues that writers such as Maxine Hong Kingston, Mitsuye Yamada, Joy Kogawa, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Nora Okja Keller, and Anchee Min deploy silence as a means of resistance. Juxtaposing their “unofficial narratives” against other histories—official U.S. histories that have excluded them and American feminist narratives that have stereotyped them or distorted their participation—they argue for recognition of their cultural participation and offer analyses of the intersections among gender, race, nation, and sexuality. Tell This Silence offers innovative ways to consider Asian American gender politics, feminism, and issues of immigration and language. This exciting new study will be of interest to literary theorists and scholars in women's, American, and Asian American studies.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHow did this book come about? When I could no longer hear my truth and I was stuck in my past, my pain and my perspective, something had to be done. I decided as a wife, mom and business woman to take 8 -10 hours each Monday and just get silent for a year. I would pray, meditate and read books that inspired my soul in silence, no communication to world. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I am so grateful, my family, friends and clients honored this decision. In this book you will find, meditations, reflections, affirmations and life lessons, I learned and had to unlearn, to hear the voice of God and my truth again. This practice unblocked so much inside and changed my life in ways I could not imagine. Things that I had been praying about and desiring, start flooding into my life and I found me, again. It was not easy to face some hard things about myself, but it was worth it and it has changed the lives of those around me as well. Sometimes we have to unplugged to really connect.
