From Saigon to Katum takes us on a side-by-side journey of two men who experienced the American Vietnam War from very different perspectives; Bourret from a classical music background set in rural Americana and Huynh from the precarious rice fields of the Mekong Delta in the time of war. The chapters unfold to allow the reader to view each men's trek from childhood into adulthood as each traverses his new surroundings and understanding of a war neither asked to be part of. From Saigon to Katum allows us to journey through two men's experiences as their lives are inexorably transformed. Before becoming a U.S. draftee, Dennis R. Bourret's only wish was to follow his dream of bestowing music on people's lives in an evocative and meaningful way. As a successful student from the Mekong rice fields, Sam Huynh's only wish was for his family to survive and for his nation to heal and be at peace after generations of misery. Fortunately, both men not only survived the war, but years later, they had the wherewithal to document their experiences for us to witness and contemplate. Their combined voices - while distinct in manner, perspective, and recall - create a fuller personal experience of the American Vietnam War, allowing us a foothold in coming to terms with the universal tragedies of a miscalculated war. Sam and Dennis both hope future generations gain the wisdom to learn from their tribulations.

Tom Jobim (1927-1994) was the leader of a delicate revolution. The transformation he set in motion through bossa nova was so subtle that we often forget just how profoundly he altered the course of Brazilian music - as if it were all "very natural.""My art is about total freedom. If, as a man, I was conventionally petty bourgeois, as an artist, I redeemed myself through the vastness of love."This volume of Music Portraits includes an essay about Tom Jobim's life and work, along with one of the last interviews ever conducted with the artist in 1993 and his discography.

Kavita Prabha is a collection of poetic works by Dr. Kavita Singh Prabha, published by prestigious Inkdew Publication.
This is a lovely love story filled with ardor and longing. This is a wonderful statement on how wholesome living and selfless service increase love. David Langston, the man, is a guy of strength, honesty, and straightforwardness, not to be put above tenderness, gentleness, and kindness. Move over, Mr. Darcy. The Harvester who appears in the story takes the candlestick and the knife box, opens the door, and then goes back to the stoop. With begging in his eyes, Belshazzar stood up and took a few steps forward slowly. The man ignored it completely as he knelt over his work. A nighttime love song could be heard coming from across Loon Lake. When he was a young boy, he had retreated from such messages until his mother told him that a small brown owl had written them. Belshazzar mustered the fortitude to take five steps forward after hearing the Harvester chuckle before he fell back to the ground. A line of golden light that ran parallel to the water from the opposing bank to the gravel bed below was cast by the moonlight as it struck the lake's gently rippling waves. Behind her was a shimmering mist, and as she drew closer he could see she was even more beautiful than he had imagined.
HO'OPONOPONODESCUBRE LA DIVINIDAD EN TI"El Ho'oponopono, herramienta de autoconocimiento, transformación y sanación"Esta es una guía práctica, sencilla y profunda que pretende dar a conocer las virtudes del Ho'oponopono, la técnica hawaiana de resolución de conflictos que te ayuda a conectar con tu verdadera naturaleza, aquella parte de la que eres menos consciente: la Divinidad en ti.En una sociedad necesitada de amor y temerosa como la nuestra, contar con una herramienta que transmuta los miedos en la mejor de las soluciones para todos, y que durante su práctica te aporta paz interior, es algo que no puedo ni quiero dejar de compartir.El Ho'oponopono entró en mi vida hace ocho años. Lo hizo sin hacer ruido alguno, y después de obrar un "milagro" tras otro en ella, sigue acompañándome con absoluta discreción. Es de este espíritu humilde de quien me enamoré, y de donde salen todas y cada una de las soluciones que necesito.El Ho'oponopono fue quien me presentó y me puso en contacto con los mejores aliados que podemos tener: nuestro Ser Superior y nuestro niño interior.Diariamente dedico un tiempo al cuidado y amor que siento por el Ho'oponopono, llevándolo a la práctica. Y él se encarga de recordarme lo poco que sé como Ser humano y lo vital que es contar con la ayuda inestimable de nuestro Ser espiritual.Para mí, limpiar con el Ho'oponopono es sinónimo de autoconocimiento, de aprender, de vivir, de amar, de ser. ¿Qué gracia tendría esta experiencia como Ser humano si no pudiéramos limpiar, dudar o sentirnos fuera de lugar para finalmente descubrir quiénes somos? ¡Ninguna!José Hormigo Mocelo. Naturópata, educador y entrenador de fútbol base y amateur. Admirador y observador incondicional de la vida. Amante de la escritura y la comunicación. Apasionado del Ser humano. Seguidor de la verdad, la acción correcta, la paz interior, el amor y la experiencia de estar presente en presencia del Ser.Email de contacto: jugandodesdeelser@gmail.com
