Footsteps coming up behind him. Light footstep. Children perhaps, but why would children be out on a night like this? Laughing children. Glanced around in every angle. No tell tale shadows. Just the sound. Of threatening feet. Chasing feet. Running footsteps. He was in no doubt though. Children. Many children. Running. Running after him Light and fast. Gaining on him. His heart pounded. He tasted fear. Knots in the stomach. A cold sweat. Breathing issues. He turned and ran. He wasn't sure what he was running from. He ran as fast as he could. As if, his life depended on it. From every angle, he heard the footsteps chasing after him.Henry ran. Between streets he'd know well in better light and weather. Didn't know where he was. Still he could hear the footsteps. Directly behind him. In front of him. All around. "
A memoir, neither a nostalgic look back, nor a pity party, just some serious self-work getting into those deep-rooted feelings that threatened to sabotage my efforts and derail my dreams, feelings that had shaped my view of myself, my world, and my relationship to it, hell bent on delivering a message from my higher self - their message, packed away in timeless memories, delivered by epiphanies, ah ha moments, laughter, and tears. Preparing to beast my next theatrical production, while clipping loose threads from the ragged relationship with my step-mother which had been tangling up my life since I was 10, acknowledging her impending demise, the pop-culture sentiment, "all in your feelings", told me exactly what I would need to do to get through all of it. I dredged up every experience whose footprints of feelings had taken up residency in my psyche and wreaked havoc throughout my life. From a six year old stuck in a "Retarded Class", a step-child, a sexually ambiguous teen searching for inclusion, a budding artist, a young woman ruined and broken, a single mom, an audacious artist and evolving woman, I learned the language of my feelings and discerned what they had come to say. It was a process. The messages, Sacred Themes, Divine Direction now inform my going forward. I not only invite readers to share my journey in hopes it might shed light on their own; I offer tools to follow my footsteps - Instruction Manual: Learning the Language of Feelings, feeling your way to the life you desire and deserve in 7 steps, including "E.F.F.E.C.T." an abbreviated process for parents, guardians, and teachers of children and youth. It's a must read. It's a must do.

The Artist's Institute in New York dedicates each six-month season to a single artist, whose work becomes the occasion for a series of exhibitions, public programs and graduate seminars with contemporary thinkers in art, music, film, literature, science, art history, philosophy and other creative pursuits. The first six seasons, which took place between 2010 and 2013, were dedicated to artists Robert Filliou, Jo Baer, Jimmie Durham, Rosemarie Trockel, Haim Steinbach and Thomas Bayrle. In each context, the Institute convened private and public forums to reflect on each artist by reading relevant texts, displaying artworks and programming related events. Today We Should Be Thinking About Jo Baer, Thomas Baylre, Jimmie Durham, Robert Filliou, Haim Steinbach, and Rosemarie Trockel compiles these reflections and documents the legacies and contemporary conversations that surround these artists today.
In the year 1903, Monroe Thomas was born on a small farm in the Toe River Valley, the third child in a family of seven. As it was for many Appalachian mountain families of that time, survival was precarious and depended upon hard work. Physically, Monroe was frail, scarred by a fall into an open fire when a baby, crippled with osteomyelitis since childhood, and confined as an invalid for most of his adult life. However, the fragility of his body stood in stark contrast to the breadth and depth of his intellect and spirit. As the pages of this book will show, Monroe possessed the soul and insight of a poet, and the honesty of his words provides a historical look back to a time and place that no longer exists.
Three tales of terror combined for the first time...Jo M. Thomas provides a future diary that foretells of a family tragedy which hasn't happened yet. Michael S. Collins gives us a killer dead fisherman wrecking havoc on a pleasure cruise down the River Clyde. Jon Arnold solves the Brexit issue by going all Dario Argento.

Larsson looked away from his face."You shouldn't be here " said Larsson. "Ghosts don't exist "The Captain took another step forward. Larsson thought of his family, back in Vyborg. "Stop it " said Larsson. "Go away. I'm warning you. People know I'm here."The Captain took another step forward.In the loos, no one can hear you scream, if something can play tricks on peoples hearing. Larsson screamed, but all William and Andy could hear, waiting by the bar, was the sound of a barking dog, down the street. Moreover, the more Larsson screamed, the more all they could hear was the dog.After ten minutes, William became concerned that the 'fishing chap' hadn't returned from the loos. However, he assumed, as you would, that Larsson had merely taken the free drink and done a runner. Therefore, William had another drink, and wandered off home to say good morning to his wife. It was five minutes after William left, that the local priest popped in for his gin and tonic, and excused him to go to the toilet, and shrieked upon seeing the bloodless, quite dead, body of the Scandinavian trawler man. Death didn't come to the village that often, murder less so, and yet another Alistair crewmember was gone. Michael S.
