Hard Times Require Furious Dancing by Alice Walker

Hard Times Require Furious Dancing by Alice WalkerAlice Walker is beloved for her ability to speak her own truth in ways that speak for and about countless others. Here she confronts personal and collective challenges in words that dance, sing, and heal. As Shiloh McCloud describes in her foreword, Walker’s poems contain “the death of loved ones and the birth of new ideas, the sorrow of rejection and the deliciousness of love, the sweetness of home, familial abandonment, and what it means to belong to the greater world family.” As Walker writes in her preface, the “empty” half of a glass holds “a rainbow that could exist only in the vacant space.” Musing on the role of dance, which gives this collection its title, she writes, “though we have encountered our share of grief and troubles on this earth, we can still hold the line of beauty, form, and beat. No small accomplishment in a world as challenging as this one.”

“[These poems] grow as naturally on the page as grass and flowers, yet never try to conceal a terrain of early graves, emotional land mines, and levies of sorrow.” – Gloria Steinem “A lifeboat in a storm, warm soup in the mouth, a rhumba in the streets of the heart.” – Jack Kornfield

This daily realisation can help us avoid becoming too wrapped up in our thinking and begin to know the Universe as the expression of a living consciousness field-organism which connects all of us as one being. Moving our attention inward allows us to know the presence of this consciousness and get an intuitive sense of it….

Ha, I Laugh in the Face of Cancer by Susan Liberty Hall

Susan Liberty Hall heard it all. The biopsy, the mastectomy, the chemo, the radiation. It’s what the doctors insisted she do when they found the three lumps in her breast. But instead Susan asked for guidance…. And there it was, an ancient Native American remedy still produced today by one family called “Two Feathers Healing Formula.” Eschewing aggressive and angry reproaches from her doctors, Susan started the regimen.

Entangled Minds- Extrasensory Experiences in a Quantum Reality by Dean Radin

| review by Cheryl Shainmark

As Radin says, scientists have been aware of entanglement for years, but they’ve treated it as an abstract, theoretical concept with few real world repercussions. According to him, that view is changing now as more and more evidence comes in that this is happening on the “macro” level, not just on the “micro” atom level. Radin and his fellow researchers are in the vanguard of science because they are hypothesizing that entanglement may explain experiences of telepathy, intuition, distance healing, ESP and other “anomalies”.
