Perhaps it would be best not to explore the cellar of the old abandoned house...
Two monkeys find themselves in a dangerous situation. Can they find a way to safety and avoid the monkey-eater?
These nine stories are first and foremost autobiographical. They are also true. In the early 1970's my parents decided to leave England in search of a more interesting life; fueled by a lifetime of adventure stories my father was desperate to see the world, to experience adventure and to see what little remained of real cultures before the bland cookie-cutter culture of the United States finally took hold.
For the next forty years my parents remained overseas choosing to live in some of the harshest environments and I was fortunate enough to be taken along.
We were not explorers, nor were my parents interested in being 'the first' at anything; but what spurred them on, what kept them going into their retirement, was the desire to not just simply visit distant lands, but to live there, to try as best they could to experience the daily lives of the people they lived amongst.
The stories in this small book are a snap shot of some of the things we saw and experienced. They are in chronological order starting in the early 70's in the Middle East and ending in 2006 in the Pamir mountains.
Joy is often thought of as one of life's most elusive and seemingly unreachable goals. But the real truth is that joy is everywhere--in our backyards, our hearts, and our souls. Life Is Full of Sweet Spots shares personal reflections, insight, and quotes to help us appreciate the exploration of joy as an unending process.
Including contributions from over forty artists and individuals from twenty states, Canada, and Australia, this surprising travel guide explores the niches and nuances of the earth, the sea and sky, of our bodies, minds, and souls. It offers ways to connect with our personal sweet spots and considers how their beauty and powers can make us hum, learn, love, or just simply be. While focusing on the ordinary as well as the remarkable moments in life, contributors share how each of them personally found relief, fulfillment, or simple contentment in life--and how the discovery of joy can be an everyday affair. More than a compilation of inspirational thoughts and reflections, it also provides a directory of links to ways and places in the world around us that will stretch our minds, spark our imaginations and open the doors of learning.
Life Is Full of Sweet Spot offers inspiration for anyone wishing to find simple ways to live a joy-filled life.
