A universal need of all warm blooded mammals is: to love and be loved (in return). Paradoxically, in our modern, fast paced, society, it is a need which often goes unfulfilled. This is attested to/evinced by data on percentages of the population living alone and unattached: 50% alone, in Canada, where I live in a retirement community. Before industrial society came into being, in days of feudalism, the problem situation facing humanity was characterized/portrayed as being one of battles between rival lords of manors, vying for supremacy, and the exploits of knight errant employed in their service. The best simile/metaphor for this type of fighting in feudal society, was seen to be that of an "obstacle course", where knight errantry often involved knights in white armor taking on first, one opposing knight in black armor, and then another, and then another in a jousting match on a field of battle. Thus the obstacle course analogy: successful knights would overcome all obstacles, i.e. all rival knights in the way of a victory for their lord of the manor. Each knight would be identified by distinctive insignia/coat of arms that was unique to his lord, that way each knight could tell friends from foes. This was an exciting but dangerous life, and knights were the heroes of the story, as in the Legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, or in John Bunyan's Christian book, Pilgrim's Progress. Contrast this with the metaphor for life and living, under modern industrial society, where there is a widespread feeling of isolation even in the midst of many. What is the reason for this feeling of isolation and alienation? Could it be that it stems from the nature of work or the workplace (interacting alone with a computer screen) - or the rules and laws governing interpersonal relations of people living in communities (a don't touch me society)? - or, sometimes, over-reliance on "passive" forms of entertainment which connects people to the medium, but disconnects people from each other? Is there any metaphor for the new problem situation facing people in our modern, industrial society, namely: alone and lonely? You may have heard of the story of the famous shipwrecked sailor, Robinson Crusoe (book by Daniel Defoe), marooned all by himself, on an uncharted desert island? Who made the best of his situation by building things to satisfy all his physical economic needs? Much like we have built an economy that satisfies all our physical needs. Crusoe, did not stop there, he went on to satisfy his spiritual needs, by noting all the marvels of nature, and narrow escapes from storms, that made him believe that providence was on his side, converting him to Christianity. Then, providence did him another good turn. A cannibal, by the name of Man Friday, was fortuitously left on the island, by an accident of fate, and Robinson, now had a companion, whom he educated into Christianity from his heathen/uncivilized ways. The functional role that Man Friday fulfilled for Robinson - his best friend - in many ways bears a resemblance to the the "role" of pets - especially that most loyal of pets, the dog - play as friends for people, in isolated modern society. If Man Friday was Robinson Crusoe's loyal best friend, then could we not with justification, say, that for people, esp. isolated ones, dogs likewise serve as man's best friends and loyal companions? Thus our need to love and be loved, even when we are denied "the real thing" - a person to call our own - has a way of "going underground" and finding the next best substitute for the real thing - which oftener than not - turns out to be a beloved pet (s). Dog may not be quite as desirable as a human partner, but given that so many people have no human partners, dog has, in effect, become: man's best friend! It is to be hoped that we humans reciprocate by also being: dog's best friend! Knowing that genuine love is always a two-way street!

This book is about fashion. It is about clothes - literally from all angles - front, back, and sideways - as well as angles defined as the whys and wherefores people wear the clothes they do and what needs clothes fulfill in people's lives. Always seeing those observed through sympathetic, smiling eyes. It is about how clothes can: make a woman! And how a woman can go about making clothes! Stylish, sensual clothes! It reflects my personal somewhat "fetishy" predilections/tastes. it is biased in favour of soft, supple, and shiny leather clothing. I do not have opportunity for a woman because II am a situation- challenged person, challenged by troubles you may have heard of and can't change by myself. But I do have the opportunity to write about women of fashion and style. In this compilation of stories about sensual feminine beauty, I indulge in a "veritable feast" of situations and contexts in which women wear sensual clothing- making it not a situation comedy but a situation clothier. The central word to describe this book is "observation" - of a sensual woman, Ms. Grace Leathers, in a wide variety of situations, which gradually round out (she has nice curves), a picture begun in two previous books in a series, ever expanding. Ms. Grace Leathers can be captured in two words: Grace + Sensual = Ms. Grace Leathers. Discover for yourself what all Ms. Grace (Chris's Creation) has to offer between the ears, and between the sighs! (At such beauty going deeper than just the skin, lighting up her (and our!) souls from deep within!)

The stock of accumulated fairy tale literature? Surprisingly it might be smaller/be fewer than you think/surmise. Searching the internet for “fairy tales the world cherishes”, the number came to no more than a “round ten” or so of the best and most familiar household names, ones. As also with poetry on specific subjects and themes, especially those themes that I choose for my poems, THE FIELD IS WIDE OPEN FOR LACK OF COMPETITION. Fairy tales being known to be good for kids in many a’ way, including: - they teach that “good” always triumphs over “bad”, which serves to instill the idea firmly in children’s minds that they should/ought to fight for Right as well, emulating their fairy tale heroes and heroines when they become grown and go out into the world. - the stories most often have a “moral” or “lesson” to be drawn from them, from which kids can learn the many facets/dimensions of Right from Wrong, Wise from Foolish, and Caring from Uncaring, to name only a few. - fairy tales abstract from the “mortal” human condition, and lift us up into a world (lift us up where we belong, where the eagles cry on a mountain high!), free of limitations where “hero” and “heroine” without fail, “live happily ever after”. What good can possibly come from such a blatant denial of Reality and the human condition as we know it? Could it be that it raises/lifts kids’ thinking “above the clouds and rain, way above the hurt and pain”, the woes and heartaches of this life, and would also equip them for the life as a pastor/preacher? hehe If this book has one contribution to make, it is hopefully to add to the existing stock of positivity-writ-large, “fairy tales the world cherishes”, (and to the stock of pastors!).

At the very least, this book is full to the brim with fun and entertainment: -The antics of the house dog, Winston. -The humorous side of ageing in Old Ain’t for Sissies. -The fun and laughter shared with my best friend, at Scrabble, which only goes to show how “scrambled” our brains are! - The thrill and excitement of simulated sports contests. - Serendipity! Being Able to Spend Part and Parcel of Our Time Dwelling within the World of Rock Musical Manna from Heaven, a World where the Meaning of Sunny Day, Everything’s A-ok, Has Never Been Forgotten!. At most, by incorporating good values into its lyrics, our thesis is that rock music becomes most powerful vehicle for popular education of young and old alike, because of the attractiveness of music, and esp. rock music, as packaging for education. Teaching great, often Christian type values, is one thing, seeing them implemented is an altogether different kettle of fish. Will rock music ever be able to spread its values beyond the idealistic young? Will the power of love ever rule the world? Will rock music enable/empower us to solve the world’s problems? * I don’t know the answer to these questions. But I do know that rock music, transformed my existence, into a life worth having. The inner world that opened up before my ears (and eyes), made me feel like a million bucks, and is the closest thing to heaven, ever to come my way! May we carry on this way, s’il vous plait!

Love and Life: How People Describe Them Everybody Wants them, But What Are They?) Reminds me of a song by the band. Foreigner: “I Want to Know What Love Is!” which is sung by numerous artists, so compelling is the message, that it captures our hearts and imaginations. From a life of heartache and pain, the protagonist doggedly continues on his search for love, hence the title of the song: “I Want to Know What Love Is!” Clearly the protagonist has never had any rewarding experience of love, that is our first inference. Second, we hope that he has NOT put the rest of his life “on hold”, while he waits for love to drop into his lap. Third, we get the impression that he is labouring under some sort of a handicap, or that he is trying too hard! Have you ever heard this said about love? “Love is like a butterfly, the more you chase it the more it eludes you. But if you quietly turn your attention to other things, it comes and alights softly on your shoulder!” The first part of the statement is definitely true. The second part, “whether it will come and sit softly on your shoulder at some point” - will depend on the handicaps/circumstances of your life. One thing is for sure: turning your attention to other things, if they are worthwhile, will make you grow and mature as a person. Never a truer statement than this: “Happiness is making a bouquet out of those flowers within reach”. However you define “flowers”, perhaps something creative that brings happiness to you as well as others - could that also be seen as a form of happiness??!!!

In this Caldecott Medal–winning picture book, the true story of Wilson Bentley and his singular fascination with snowflakes is rendered in rich prose and gorgeous artwork, perfect for the holidays, snow days, and everyday. Wilson Bentley was always fascinated by snow. In childhood and adulthood, he saw each tiny crystal of a snowflake as a little miracle and wanted to understand them. His parents supported his curiosity and saved until they could give him his own camera and microscope. At the time, his enthusiasm was misunderstood. But with patience and determination, Wilson catalogued hundreds of snowflake photographs, gave slideshows of his findings and, when he was 66, published a book of his photos. His work became the basis for all we know about beautiful, unique snowflakes today. This biographical tribute to a very special farmer is the perfect holiday gift or snow day read.

The Master of Game is the oldest and most important work on the chase in the English language. Based primarily on Gaston de Foix's Livre de chasse, originally composed in 1387, The Master of Game was written by Edward of Norwich at his leisure between 1406 and 1413, mostly while being held prisoner for having treasonous designs against his cousin, Henry IV. While much of the book is almost an exact translation of de Foix, Edward added five chapters of his own to form the major source for our knowledge of the medieval hunt. The book begins with a description of the nature of popular quarry, such as the hare, deer, and badger, including their behavior, characteristics, and even smells, and then moves to a discussion of various hunting dog breeds and how to train them. The medieval chase was a ritual event, so the book continues with an explanation of the various rules and techniques for a successful hunt, including how food was to be distributed among the hunters, the support persons, and the dogs. Weapons and traps of choice are also described, as well as the different horn calls used for communication. The Master of Game is a unique text for naturalists, hunters, and persons interested in social history. Although hunting is nowadays far removed from most people's experience, it was of major interest in the time of Edward of Norwich for ritual, sport, and, of course, food. Some knowledge of the chase was essential for all persons of medieval times. This edition, the first paperback ever of the original version edited in 1909, includes a hearty foreword by Theodore Roosevelt, who adds some important contextual information about the chase and draws on his own vast hunting experience. A delight to read, even for those who are not keen on the sport, The Master of Game has, as one review exclaimed," all Chaucer's freshness, love of the open sky and fragrant woodland."
