The Shared Room

The Shared Room

Kao Kalia Yang

University of Minnesota Press
2020
sidottu
A family gradually moves forward after the loss of a child-a story for readers of all ages When someone you love dies, you know what doesn’t die? Love. On the hot beach, among colorful umbrellas blooming beneath a bright sun, no one saw a little girl walk into the water. Now, many months later, her bedroom remains empty, her drawers hold her clothes, her pillows and sheets still have her scent, and her mother and father, brothers and sister carry her in their hearts, along with their grief, which takes up so much space. Then one snowy day, the mother and father ask the girl’s older brother, “Would you like a room of your own?” He wants to know, “Whose?” They say, “Your sister’s.”Tenderly, and with refreshing authenticity, beloved Minnesota writer Kao Kalia Yang tells the story of a Hmong American family living with loss and tremendous love. Her direct and poignant words are accompanied by the evocative and expressive drawings of Hmong American artist Xee Reiter. The Shared Room brings a message of comfort and hope to readers young and old.

Stuck & Shared: A Short Erotic Swinger & Hotwife Story

Stuck & Shared: A Short Erotic Swinger & Hotwife Story

Timea Tokes

o WON THIRD PLACE IN SWINGING & HOTWIFE SHORT STORY CONTEST o Two couples get stuck in an elevator and have some time to spare. Quite conveniently, they just talked about trying out swinging, so it doesn't take them long to find a kinky way to pass the time.A Short Erotic Swinger & Hotwife Story in 2,800 words. Caution, explicit sexual content, strictly 18]. o "What do you mean you can't do anything?"I glance at Gabe, who shrugs his shoulders, as if saying this wasn't his fault. The heat is already unbearable, and now this..."Look, Miss, I'm so sorry, but in cases like this, we need to wait until the power comes back on. We are terribly sorry for your inconvenience."Three pairs of eyes are staring at me, as if I knew all the answers. Well, I don't. I let out a frustrated sigh, asking the man on the other end of the line: "Okay, so how long is it going to be?"Silence. Bloody silence, that's all I get as an answer. So, it will be a while... After what seems like hours: "Um, an hour, maybe two."Jeez. I curse, louder than I intended to. "Fine, thanks for... Well, thanks anyway."I hang up, angry at the operators. Surely, they are supposed to do something? Well, clearly not in this case. We are stuck in this goddamn elevator, and nobody can do anything. Three pairs of eyes are still staring at me. Gabe's are light blue, the one that belongs to a blond woman are green, and the third pair is brown. Chocolate brown, with sprinkles of gold. I try to avoid all of them, hoping they can figure it out for themselves, and I don't have to say anything. Of course, I'm not that lucky. The green-eyed woman asks in a hushed voice: "So, what did they say?"I roll my eyes, not as much at her question, but rather at my own helplessness."Nothing. Bloody nothing. We are stuck here for another hour or two.""Oh, I see."That's all she says, then leans closer to her husband, kissing him gently on the lips, then basically collapses into his arms. Her blond hair is loose around her shoulders, which gives her an innocent look. Her husband, on the other hand, seems to be very dangerous. His hair is spiky, and his trousers look like they were made of some very tight fabric. Leather maybe? I'm dying to find out, that's for sure.I glance towards Gabe, who is also watching them intently. I wish I had telepathic abilities, because then I would know whether he is thinking the same thing as I am. They are hot, and would be a perfect match. We have talked about trying new things out, aka having a foursome with another couple, but up until now we haven't met anyone we liked. Of course, one could say that when both of us liked at least one of them, we should have given it a go. But what's the fun in that? I want to watch as a gorgeous woman sucks my husband dry, just like he wants to see an Adonis fuck me senseless...

Understanding Shared Services in Early Childhood Education

Understanding Shared Services in Early Childhood Education

Amanda L. Krause-DiScala

Redleaf Press
2023
nidottu
Shared services is a fairly new concept in the early childhood space but one that is gaining traction through the work of a number of individuals and organizations across the country. Shared services knowledge hubs and alliances together allow us to collaborate with other professionals and save time and money, focusing these resources instead on increasing quality, addressing workforce issues, and expanding access of services to children and families with fewer barriers. When we bridge the gap between child care center and family care providers we make the field stronger and more successful. Understanding Shared Services in Early Childhood Education, a Redleaf Quick Guide, provides context surrounding the history of early childhood education and child care to explain the genesis of current crises in the field, then explains how leveraging shared services systems can help through pooling resources and information and sharing access to technology such as automation and financial management systems.

The Shared Witness of C. S. Lewis and Austin Farrer

The Shared Witness of C. S. Lewis and Austin Farrer

Philip Irving Mitchell

Kent State University Press
2021
sidottu
A comparative study of a literary friendship.C. S. Lewis and Austin Farrer were friends and fellow academics for more than 20 years, sharing both their Anglican faith and similar concerns about their modern world. Lewis, as Christian apologist and popular novelist, and Farrer, as philosophical theologian and college priest, sought to defend a metaphysically thick universe in contrast to the increasingly secular culture all about them, and this defense was one they made both within and without the Church.The Shared Witness of C. S. Lewis and Austin Farrer explores a number of areas that demonstrate the ways in which Lewis and Farrer both intersected and influenced each other's thought. Both insisted that myth, while human in origin, also prepared the heart for a sense of divine glory and even had a place in the Christian scriptures. Both also argued that analogical language was necessary if human beings are to relate to the divine, for it draws us near to God even as it teaches the limits of our understanding,Farrer and Lewis prized virtue ethics as a key to human character and ethical problem solving, and they explored the relationship of nature and grace, as well as defended the human anthropology necessary for ethical living. In regard to the problem of evil, the two men shared much but also disagreed how best to account for an all-powerful loving God and a world full of suffering, and both writers were engaged with apocalyptic thinking-not only in Farrer's commentaries and Lewis's fiction but also in essays and sermons that addressed the eternal end and purpose of humanity.Finally, as Mitchell shows, the worldview espoused and explored by Lewis and Farrer still speaks to our contemporary world, a post-secular society in which the supernatural may again be taken seriously.

A Shared and Sacred Space

A Shared and Sacred Space

Carol Lynn Stevenson Grellas

Kelsay Books
2024
pokkari
I've long been haunted by the dualities of Carol Lynn Stevenson Grellas' poetry: life and death, forgetting and the preservation of memory, resisting death while recognizing its beauty... Implied by the title, these poems are divided into the "shared" and the "sacred," two large and meaningful parts to the collection. The "shared" poems are written mostly in sonnet form, as if Grellas' poems are also sharing a form with late traditional poets, and they focus on family stories and heirlooms, implying the shared aspects of family, meaningful relationships and friendships, and of course, art. The second section, the "sacred," focuses more on personal stories and the more personal takeaways from shared experiences, like how one perceives the family dynamic compared to another. This duality of the public and private proves to be haunting, especially in the poems that celebrate secrecy and memories never shared (until with us, the readers).What I've discovered after reading A Shared and Sacred Space is how each poem carries with it its own unique duality: its personal and collective power. I read some of these poems on an individual basis and loved them as they stood on their own, but now that I've read them as a part of a larger collection, I now better appreciate the larger resonance of these poems and the echoes they form across the collection. From love, motherhood, family heirlooms, and traditions, to religion and mythological echoes, to the hardships of feminism, mental and physical ailments, and the forever haunting loss of our furry loved ones, this "labyrinth of humanness unveiled" is a stunning collection of personal, shared, and confessional poetry that we surely all can relate to, and celebrate.Grellas lets us take a glimpse into the most treasured and personal aspects of her life, and like an ofrenda, a photo album, a guest list-by the end of the collection, all of us readers are those who have signed the guest book, leaving behind our own small contributions to poetry's collective memory and taking something of Carol Lynn Stevenson Grellas' with us.-McKenzie Lynn Tozan, Lit Shark Magazine
