Bridge Beneath the Sky

Mindstir Media Publishing — Thu, 18 Mar 2021 16:58:05 +0000

Is there a God or compelling force behind our existence? Is there a particular way we should live? Do we continue in some fashion beyond death? Countless individuals have searched for a belief system that provides hope and meaning, but is also grounded in reasoning. If such a framework had merely been glimpsed intuitively by the religions of the world, what would it really look like beyond the symbolism?

Bridge Beneath the Sky: Speculations on a Larger Reality presents both materialist and metaphysical views in a context that acknowledges both as valid and without contradiction. It paints a convincing picture based on rational arguments and descriptive imagery that clarifies our place in the world as molecular machines, the universe made animated, and the enormous possibilities of our existence that follow the same line of reasoning. It is a humble and unassuming glimpse at what might very well be a big picture everyone can relate to.

Between an Artist and a Dreamer

Mindstir Media Publishing — Fri, 05 Mar 2021 23:28:03 +0000

A collection of poetry, thoughts, and art expressing a deeper level of love, our relationship with our Creator, and with each other. A dance between light and darkness, good and evil, justice and injustice and the importance of silence and also the importance of voicing the truth to bring light to those who suffer. The Artist and the Poet combine colors and words to provoke and cultivate consciousness.

Maria the Poet and Demetra the Artist are related not only by blood, but they're related by creativity and God like spirit. Both connected, both keen, both enthusiastic about their love for the Lord and the mysteries of life. Both dance a different kind of dance, yet their dance is about uniting earth and heaven in a harmonious bliss.

From Zero to Sixty and Then Some by David Schuman

This is not an autobiography in any typical sense. While people are interested in Obama’s life or Gandhi’s life, there is no such interest in my life. Rightfully. This is not that kind of book. I believe that getting old is the first time we can genuinely figure out the relationship we have with ourselves. What our likes and dislikes are when they are uncoupled from social standards.

So this is a kind of mental autobiography. It’s a book of essays about everyday life, from the perspective of being much closer to the end than the beginning. The essays are different lengths and there are even ditties (words that rhyme…more Dr. Seuss than poetry). There was nothing systematic about the topics I wrote about. Someone would say something, or a thought would wake me up in the middle of the night. Then I would write to find out what I thought.

The Lost Musicians by Donald Kitain

Mindstir Media Publishing — Sun, 06 Jan 2019 21:03:09 +0000

Here is the sometimes heartbreaking and often humorous true story of four intensely musically gifted brothers who lived and performed around the world for nearly eight decades. This reader friendly book follows their perilous lives and inspiring loves, their bright successes and deadly disappointments. Their history as Jews serves as a reminder of the terrible risks they took just to survive. This is essential reading for anyone interested in music and life during the twentieth century and the history of the time as it unfolded. Amazingly, much of their music is still available and rivals anything heard today. Their harrowing escapes and misfortunes during the Russian Revolution, World War I, the Holocaust and World War II, and their emotional lives after the wars provide an unparalleled testament to the power of life, love and hope.

19: I Never Had a Birthday in Vietnam by Charles E. Restivo

19: I never had a birthday in Vietnam was written to show how the guys out in the field lived from day to day and not knowing if it was going to be their last day. There's some laughter, sorrow, feeling so down that taking a bullet to end it didn't seem so bad. Guys are guys and the nineteen to twenty four year olds that were in Vietnam were a little more intense than most. Living with death day to day is something only another combat soldier would understand. This was written to get the reader to understand that.
