We love to read and we encourage all our THE Rural Women to read as much as they can!
Each month we recommend reading based on the virtue we are exploring; this month – it’s Patience.
We try to find different voices and points of views and types of writing.
Here are our 3 picks for Patience
The Patience of Ice – Renate Woods
Filled with awe at the improbable, incomprehensible trajectory of human experience, the poems in Renate Wood’s The Patience of Ice ponder history, memory, and family. Beginning with the sequence of poems titled “German Chronicle”, Wood evokes her childhood in Germany during the Second World War, recording the war’s impact on the world in general and on her family in particular. Moving between the past and the present, from family life to mythology, her poems are distinguished by intellectual and emotional courage, metaphoric surprise, and linguistic clarity. The Patience of Ice is an accomplished collection from a mature and original poet.
Touched by Light – Margriet Hagens
– The bubble where silence is patience is spiritual orientated and describes a journey through the many layers of consciousness as we discover the moment we start to awaken to this moment only. An Interactive story where the secret of life is no longer hidden and where many lifetimes are lived as fully blind is now written as it contains answers to where we have lost even the source of the question itself. Open the book and find yourself traveling through time, where you will have a taste of the many centuries that come alive. The author dedicated herself to what is given to her to fulfill her mission in life. The vast changes in her daily life left her with pen and paper where she writes down her shift in life. She describes a journey lived through the centuries where consciousness comes alive. A romantic 12th century Sufi style breathes life into each word where the secret of life is hidden.
The End of Patience – David Shenk
In this provocative new collection of essays, David Shenk expands his enlightened skepticism to include thoughts on the dangers of online journalism, the ethical implications of digital photography, and the misguided hopes for computers in the classroom. Shock-jocks, computerized toys, Microsoft-bashing, and genetic testing are all subject to his incisive and discerning criticism.
