But I don’t like to think about people being ‘my kind of people’, as that can be an unhelpful intention - and also illusory. I have met amazing people, have experienced a deeper connection than ever before with people whom I met through either activism or work, and I have learned a lot with them. Have you found your people, your community, thanks to Deep Adaptation? Thank you for your continued passion for this difficult topic. If you are already engaged, I hope these new reflections encourage your own leadership. If you are new to Deep Adaptation (DA) or the DA Forum, I recommend consulting my interview on the Deep Adaptation book before reading this essay. In responding to them, I realised the next six months through to March 2022 are crucial for whether the gathering of people around the idea of Deep Adaptation has the chance to positively influence the course of human history. What follows are initial ideas on some of the questions asked of me. As I am concerned about recent changes in the world in general and within Western environmental movements in particular, I needed additional time for reflection. A few weeks ago some senior participants in that Forum sent me questions about my learning on the Deep Adaptation agenda in general and the DA Forum in particular. At the end of September, it will be a year since I left my role in the daily organising of the Deep Adaptation Forum (DAF). However, now that Gray has Christian back in his life, he is not willing to let him go. But most of all, Chris is determined to protect Gray, whatever the cost, even if that means he has to lose him. What’s worse is that it’s becoming clear that his old life isn’t done with him, and there is only so long Chris can avoid capture by the group that seems after him. But the answers are not encouraging, and Chris isn’t so sure he likes the man he apparently used to be. Everything in him calls to Gray and he knows that his heart belongs to the man, even if he still can barely remember anything else in his life.Įven as Chris finds himself enjoying daily life with Gray, he is determined to find out who he is and why someone wants his dead. But Gray is still willing to help Chris however he can, and Chris is too drawn to Gray to not take him up on it. There is a distance that Chris never felt before. When Chris finally gets to see Gray, it is clear that something is wrong between them. The only thing that he remembers in this whole mess is the man he loves, Dr. The fact that not only was Chris shot, but he seems to have some unusual body modifications - filed down molars, no fingerprints, reinforced Achilles’ heels, etc - has the police asking questions. Chris has no idea who he is, how he got there, or why someone is trying to kill him. Christian Cross wakes up in the hospital after having survived a gunshot to the head and being dumped at the hospital doors. |a Thorndike Press large print crime scene.

I know first-hand what goes into the creation of art – the blood, the sweat, the tears, the risk. Honestly, I thought Ram Dass was the guy to go to for lessons in bhakti, or devotional, yoga, but apparently the knights of Medieval Europe (von Eschenbach was a Bavarian or East Franconian knight) had that shit covered.Ī note about my reviews: I consider myself an appreciator, not a critic. Then the insanity of 2021, dovetailing in from 2020’s equally insane energies, drove me to pick up what amounts to a Gnostic manual with its hidden metaphors regarding Self-realization, the actual purpose of the institution of marriage as a vehicle for liberation rather than bondage, and the function of love, generally. I had planned to read some other things before I finally got around to devouring Wolfram von Eschenbach’s classic Grail myth, recommended to me by Joseph Campbell during my lifelong search for existential meaning. Ray never disappeared and continued to perform until 1989. even as he remained popular in other countries. Below is Johnnie Ray’s version.īut as rock and roll took off in the late 1950s, Ray’s popularity declined in the U.S. Some, like Tony Bennett, have credited Ray’s work to being an important precursor to rock and roll.īob Dylan once noted that Ray was the “first singer whose voice and style I totally fell in love with.” Ringo Starr explained that in the early days, he and the other Beatles listened to “Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Johnnie Ray.” The Rolling Stones’s Bill Wyman, among others, has commented how Ray opened up his ears even before Elvis Presley began recording.Īnd when Elvis Presley got out of the army, he covered a song he knew from Ray, “Such a Night.” Elvis’s version appeared on his 1960 album Elvis is Back. He rose to stardom as a singer in the early 1950s. Johnnie Ray, who passed away on February 24, 1990, was born in Oregon on January 10, 1927. But by the 1980s, when these songs were released, and today, many ask, “Who was poor old Johnnie Ray?” Who Was Johnnie Ray? During the period they evoke, Johnnie Ray was a big star. In each of the songs, the songwriters refer to Johnnie Ray in the context of remembering their childhoods. So does the first line of Billy Joel’s 1989 song “We Didn’t Start the Fire” (“Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnnie Ray.”). The opening of the 1982-1983 hit song “Come On Eileen” by Dexys Midnight Runners mentions a person named Johnnie Ray. This allows the novel to see both sides of the coin, especially the shock of seeing each other for the first time since the bus episode. The book is told through Laurie’s and Jack’s eyes. When I say meat, I mean the story has depth. What makes this novel stand out among the others in its genre is that it has meat and self-awareness. What follows is ten years of friendship, heartbreak, missed opportunities (like me not posting in December), and destinies reconsidered among Laurie, Sarah, and Jack. Quickly, Laurie realizes that Jack is the guy from the bus. Laurie spends a year looking for the mysterious bus boy until they are reunited at her Christmas party, when her best friend Sarah introduces her to her boyfriend Jack. Unfortunately, her bus pulls away before anything else can happen. One Day in December revolves around Laurie, who normally does not believe in love at first sight, but instinctively finds the man of her dreams one night. Recently, however, I discovered a romantic holiday book that I unironically enjoyed! That book was One Day in December by Josie Silver. If I were to read one, I would be making fun of it right off the bat. In other words, they feel like Hallmark movies. They tend to get really corny and clichéd, and they are very predictable. I usually don’t read romantic holiday stories. The terms Romantica® and Quickies® are registered trademarks of Ellora’s Cave Publishing.
