It was a book I wrestled with, anguished over, wept through-and one that gave me the highest joy. It went through several drafts, all written during a time of grief in my own life. ![]() Out of it, out of that wondrous time in America, came Secret Sacrament.īut the book was not born easily. It was a rare experience, inspiring and utterly enriching. There is indescribable richness when thirty people from all over the world-from countries including Slovenia, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Egypt, Colombia, Ukraine, Cote d’Ivoire, Finland, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Bangladesh, and Honduras-meet together to share stories and songs, poems and laughter, food and philosophies. ![]() I had already glimpsed the young man, hero of a new book, but I had no energy for him or his story-whatever it was to be.įrom the moment I arrived in Iowa I felt renewed. It arrived when I was burnt out by long years of laboring alone in my studio, when my creative cup was empty, and I was hungering for encouragement and company. The fellowship was one of those extraordinary gifts that comes just once in a lifetime. I had won a writing fellowship to go there to take part in the International Writing Program at the university. Secret Sacrament was conceived in October 1993, in a room in one of the residence halls of the University of Iowa, in the United States. ![]() 5/22/2023 0 Comments The rainbow bridge audrey wood![]() ![]() Hutash makes a rainbow as a bridge for the crossing, but some of the people look down and, dizzy, fall into the sea.

The advice has been not to do that, not to mix genres, not to try different kinds of storytelling, and I understand that. It’s a formula-driven business-if you’ve written one book about a bricklayer, they want you to write 1,000 books about a bricklayer-but I’m constantly changing things up. If I wrote the same book every time, which is what publishers prefer you to do, I would go profoundly nuts.

One said that Somali pirates are cruel, greedy, drugged up young men who have no respect for the law. When piracy became front page news, I heard two narratives. It came with some risk but the payoff is significant because it shares the full story that few hear. ![]() This is a book that uses journalism tools the way they should be used, allowing the story to tell itself instead of inserting the authors slant on things. ![]() Bahadur allows the pirates to speak for themselves, as well as government authorities who battle the pirates. What I really like is that the book is written without a lot of the author’s bias. Nevermind.Īnyway, Bahadur has written the compelling The Pirates of Somalia and it’s fascinating.

Not every time but enough to know you are releasing the correct emotions! How do you use the Emotion Code Chart? I find it interesting when working with clients how their trapped emotions for a particular issue tend to “clump” in one area. Each row is listed with areas of the body these trapped emotions often affect but there are exceptions. The Emotion Code Chart consists of 60 emotions, divided into two columns and six rows. The Emotion Code chart is a key component in determining and releasing trapped emotions. But after I took the time to read the book and review the training videos it made total sense! I tested myself and was amazed at how quickly I could find the trapped emotion I was working with and how quickly I could find more!
