  • Within The Portal--A Memoir of Near Death Experience and Guide To Spiritual Awakening

    by Scott Spackey
    On June 19, I was killed. Dead in the street, Mangled, bloody and… Killed. Life can go from light to dark in an instant. Krishnanand catapulted to the ‘other-side’ when he was hit in the face by a full-size SUV. While he remained in a Stage 3 Glasgow coma for nine days, he remained fully conscious in a celestial dimension he now calls The Portal—what Tibetan Buddhists call The Bardo, and what Vedic/Sanskrit philosophy calls The Akashic Records. He woke without an identity, having no recall... more
  • A Quest for Identity: From Afghanistan to the World

    by Parastu Ahang-Mehdawi
    A Quest for Identity is her voice that offers a ladder to the world of literature. She defines herself as a citizen of the world. She is a disciple of human rights. Her message is clear: Stop separating humanity by colour, gender, religion, country, or nationality, and tolerate no war. Parastu’s pen dances on the paper when she gets inspired by nature’s beauty or is moved to scream by the injustices of the world. Her series of memoirs continues; in the second volume, she narrates her life as a w... more
  • Not Weakness: Navigating the Culture of Chronic Pain

    by Francesca Grossman
    After thyroid cancer, Crohn’s disease, and a slew of other autoimmune conditions ransacked her body in her twenties and thirties, Francesca was left feeling completely alone in her chronic pain. Constant, relentless, often indescribable, and always exhausting, it affected her whole life―intimacy, motherhood, friendship, work, and mental health. Yet it was also fairly invisible―and because of that, Francesca felt entirely alone in the centrifuge of her own pain. But after twenty-plus years of liv... more

  • El Chirrido de Los Columpios: De la supervivencia a la plenitud, Una historia real de superación del abuso sexual. (Spanish edi

    by Guy Giard
    Voy dando saltos en mi bicicleta, pedaleo tan rápido como puedo y cruzo de un carril al otro sin preocuparme por el tránsito que avanza en sentido contrario. Mis pulmones se llenan de polvo. En un paso subterráneo en abandono, el asfalto fisurado se entrechoca con la tierra y las columnas grises desfilan como los dientes rotos de un peine viejo y grasoso. El olor fétido de los centenares de excrementos blancos y grises de las palomas compite con la putrefacción de sus plumas y del lúpulo de la c... more

    by Guy Giard

L’odeur fétide des centaines de tas d'excréments blanc et gris des pigeons rivalise avec la pourriture de leurs plumes et du houblon de la bras... more
