The Gospel of Trees: A Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 860min
Apricot Irving grew up as a missionary's daughter in Haiti. Her father was an agronomist, a man who hiked alone into the deforested hills to preach the gospel of trees. Her mother and sisters spent their days in the confines of the hospital compound they called home. As a child, this felt like paradise to Irving; as a teenager, it became a prison. Outside of the walls of the missionary enclave, Haiti was a tumult of bugle-call bus horns and bicycles that jangled over hard-packed dirt, road blocks and burning tires triggered by political upheaval, the clatter of rain across tin roofs, and the swell of voices running ahead of the storm. Poignant and explosive, Irving weaves a portrait of a missionary family that is unflinchingly honest: her father's unswerving commitment to his mission, her mother's misgivings about his loyalty, the brutal history of colonization. Drawing from research, interviews, and journals - her parents' as well as her own - this memoir in many voices evokes a fractured family finding their way to kindness through honesty. Told against the backdrop of Haiti's long history of intervention, it grapples with the complicated legacy of those who wish to improve the world, while bearing witness to the defiant beauty of an undefeated country. A lyrical meditation on trees and why they matter, loss and privilege, love and failure. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robin Miles.

Zen, The Path of Paradox (Vol.1), Hörbuch, Digital, 984min
Zen is not a theology, it is a unique phenomenon. Not easy to understand for a Western mind. Most religions exist around the concept of God. For Zen, the individual human is the goal - an end unto himself. So there is no concept of God in Zen.Certainly those who have been brought up as Christians, Muslims, Hindus, or Jews, cannot conceive of what sort of religion Zen is. If there is no God, then it becomes atheism. It is not; it is theism to the very core - but without God. This is the first fundamental to be understood. Let it sink deep within you, then things will become clear. Zen is simple, and yet difficult. As far as Zen is concerned it is a simple thing, the simplest, because it is a spontaneous thing. But because of our conditioned minds, because of the insane world we live in - in which we have been brought up and have been corrupted - also very difficult.Existence is paradoxical. I call Zen the path of paradox. It is paradoxical. Intuition is paradoxical. It is not linear. It is multidimensional. Consciousness versus unconsciousness.Osho introduces us in this series to world of Zen. He is not a teacher - he is a Zen master.Chapter 1: Join the Farthest StarChapter 2: Ignorance Is UltimateChapter 3: Devise No WordChapter 4: The Clatter of a Broken TileChapter 5: Your Actions Are Irrelevant to Your BeingChapter 6: Enlightenment Is neither Inside nor OutsideChapter 7: The Pulse of the UniverseChapter 8: Nothing Is Purer Than SexChapter 9: Zen: An Uneducation, an UnlearningChapter 10: The Collective, the Individual, the Universal Language: English.

Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 658min

Keep a Cleaner House Affirmations: Positive Daily Affirmations to Keep a Tidy and Clatter-Free Home Using the Law of Attraction, Self-Hypnosis, Guided Meditation and Sleep Learning, Hörbuch, Digital, 58min
The law of attraction is based on the idea that everything in the universe has a polarity, meaning that everything - from the food you eat to the people you talk to, to the things you say to the things you think - contains either a positive or a negative kind of energy. Notice that being with people who complain or rant a lot tends to make you feel bad, even though you're not exactly experiencing what they're going through - that's the law of attraction working its magic. When you focus on negative stuff, then more negative stuff will happen to you. On the other hand, when you focus on positive stuff, then more positive stuff will happen to you. Fortunately, there is a way to manipulate the law of attraction and make it work for you: by changing your beliefs, using the power of positive affirmation. Positive affirmations give you a fresh pair of eyes to see the world and therefore give you courage to achieve a lot of things you never knew were possible. Language: English. Narrator: Robert Gazy.

Tales of Thrones: Fanfiction Short Reads , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 108min
Thrones doesn't have to be over with season eight! Here are six short stories about the characters you love:How Bronn met TyrionJamie becomes the greatest swordsmanThe back story of VarysCan Arya kill the Hound?Samwell Tarly's storyDragons aren't just for showThe scent of the building was almost as powerful as the sounds that crashed over Bronn as he pulled the door open. The large room was packed nearly to the brim, and it appeared that most of the inn’s patrons were already in varying stages of intoxication. Bronn pushed gruffly past a young man who burped in his face as he passed, and made his way up to the shoddy wooden bar. He dropped his fist to the bar with a thud, causing the eyes of the disheveled bar wench to snap over to him. Sliding a dripping mug of ale to a patron at the other end of the bar, she crossed to Bronn and asked, "What’ll it be?""Ale is fine," he replied, letting a few small coins clatter against the bar. "You have any rooms free for tonight?"With a quick, practiced motion, the bartender scooped up the coins and slipped them into a small pocket against her ample bosom. As she filled another mug with ale, she nodded."Aye, there’s still a few free. How long will you be staying with us?"The bartender slid the mug into Bronn’s waiting hands. He tossed out a few more coins. "Just staying for tonight, love...unless you figure out a way to keep me here," he offered with a sly smile.She ignored him and returned to her other customers.With a shrug, Bronn picked up his mug and was just tasting his first sip of frothy ale, when a particularly loud wave of yelling drifted over from the far corner of the room. He glanced over to see what was happening, but the corner was too full and too shadowy to make out anything with certainty. With nothing better to do, and his curiosity piqued, Bronn pushed off the bar a ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Teovanth.

Saint Brigid of Kildare: The Life, Legends, and Legacy of One of Ireland’s Patron Saints , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 97min
“It is a virtue and a prize to listen patiently to and put up with insults for the sake of God.” (Saint Brigid of Kildare) The drumbeat of horses’ hooves and clatter of chariot wheels echo through the rolling green hills of what will be known much later as the Emerald Isle. The driver is a lone woman whose long hair and homespun cloak whip through the wind behind her. Headstrong, confident, and intelligent, she blazes a trail that will change her nation forevermore, yet not in her own name or for her own sake, but for that of the God who sent her. This is a woman who will love the poor, feed the hungry, house the homeless, teach the ignorant, and defy the odds doing it all. This is Brigid of Kildare. Saint Brigid of Kildare survives as a model of the religious life, a woman who cared for the earth and its people, who strove for justice, equality, and peace. She is also a model of the disciple’s life, one who took Christ’s Great Commission to heart, traversing her nation to welcome other men and women into the fold and encourage the spread of Christianity wherever she went, through the gospel message of love for one’s neighbor and God’s saving grace. Because her legends trace back to pre-Christian times, Brigid is one of the most powerful religious figures in all of Irish history, as her story intertwines many layers of separate traditions, both pagan and Christian. That said, even as her story remains mixed with folk tales and pagan customs, along with St. Patrick, Brigid is credited with the evangelization of the entire Irish nation, turning the pagan island into a bastion of Catholic Christianity. She is often seen as a bridge between pagan and Christian Irish traditions, bringing commonality to a world divided by religious beliefs. She also represents a bridge between social classes, as she was the daughter of a king and a leading religious authority, but administered to the poorest of people and the lowliest of creatures. She welco ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Colin Fluxman. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/210875/bk_acx0_210875_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.- Shop: Audible

Freeze Frame: International Poetry Anthology , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 68min
A poetry anthology about life and love presented in printed, digital, and audiobook forms with original music. Freeze Frame brings together six international poets, each with their own vision of what would appear in the static frame if we captured the flow of our ceaseless contemporary narrative. Read and recorded by the poets themselves in their home locations, the listener may experience their full presence and intention. Freeze Frame captures the essence of the poet in this private audience poetry performance. Whether you are seeking an inspirational quote or a cutting edge intellectual concept, Freeze Frame is a unique collection of short poems allowing you to step aside and perhaps hit the pause button of your own rushing life. We are born without language into a world of tears, mystery, sounds, shapes, light, and dark. Slowly words begin to allow us individual expression. For the poet, this process never stops. The quest for words with which to capture the sound of wind in trees, an echo on a lonely city street, an unexpected jolt of joy, and on and on…is the quest and frustration of the poet. Whether it is the nuance of a relationship or the clatter of a factory machine, we seek to hold them so that they may be seen, maybe for just long enough to make a little more sense of them. By sense of course, I mean perhaps beauty, pathos, symmetry, and on through an infinity of inadequate dictionaries. I invited five other writers to contribute to this collection. The great thing about other poets is that they are not me. They are free of my own influences and prejudices. I also invited a musician to listen to the poems and compose a piece to blend the personalities and freeze the frame on each of the poets. The result is a stunning piano composition with six individual motifs, that stand alone but which also blend together in the title track for the audiobook. ungekürzt. Language: English.
