Walking in Winter on the Camino

Walking in Winter on the Camino

Brian Morrison

Brian Morrison

pokkari
Each year hundreds of thousands of pilgrims trek across Spain arriving at the cathedral at Santiago de Compostela where the tomb of the apostle of Saint James is located. As far back as the Middle Ages pilgrims have walked the way of Saint James often trekking hundreds of miles. The mountain ranges and formidable table lands of the Meseta are traversed by pilgrims on a journey through history as they walk along roads and bridges built by the Romans. Sometimes they begin their journey from the doorsteps of their homes in Europe and beyond. While others travel from overseas to begin their pilgrimage. The French Way, or Camino Frances, begins 500 miles from Santiago in the French town of Saint Jean Pied de Port. Modern day pilgrims begin the pilgrimage for different reasons, including spiritual enlightenment, religion, physical fitness and adventure. Today's pilgrims carry a special passport to collect stamps each day, which they present to receive the Compostela certificate at the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela. The Compostela is written in Latin and recognizes the completion of the pilgrimage. The cathedral also provides a certificate for distance, which is a slightly larger document on parchment. I walked half the Camino with my brother David in the fall of 2016, and returned to finish the 500 mile, million step, journey in the winter of 2018. This is the story of my winter experience on the Camino.

"I want you to write a story that references modern immigration and policies in regards to the Latino people, but using zombies to tell the story." This was the challenge that was issued to me in the summer of 2013 by UCLA Literature Professor, Mario Escobar. The following 319 pages were my answer to that.-Donald MorrisonFrom Adam, God created Eve, and from humanity, we have been formed. The year is 2059. 26 years ago an evolution occurred. Some referred to it as an infection, or a virus, but to those of us now locked behind the Dividing Wall, separated from the rest of society, we simply refer to it as the change. Most of the residents in Baja California were relocated, and the wall was constructed around it; to keep the rest of the world from having to remember that we exist. We have been quarantined, segregated, persecuted, locked in isolated "safety zones", and ripped away from our families and loved ones, to be locked away and forgotten inside what is now referred to as the Grey Zone. This is the story of our survival, the story of our kind, the Cineraceans, or as we refer to ourselves, the Greys.

Turn On, Tune In, Drop Dead... Summer, 1970 The Weezles, a fabulously successful (and totally manufactured) pop group, have invited two hundred rock & roll VIPs on a cruise to the Caribbean aboard a posh ocean liner. Star reporter Rennie Stride and her friends, of course, are among the guests, who are obligated to listen to the Weezles play them new music, in hopes of improving the band's teenybopper image. But murder has a different agenda; and before the ship reaches port in the Grand Palm Islands, it strikes, considerably dampening the spirits of those aboard. As usual, Rennie has recourse and resources that the rest do not: she jumps ship to go join her fianc , superstar English guitarist Turk Wayland, on his family's neighboring private island, where he rules in his other identity as Richard Tarrant, twenty-first Marquess of Raxton, and where she can set herself to clear the Weezles' name. And where the danger not only follows her but is already there...

Eventually, he awakens on a strange island and quickly realizes something is wrong. He makes his way to a large palace to find dozens of other children, and a lone figure watching over them, one they simply refer to as, Father. He quickly befriends a young girl named Isabella and together they begin to uncover the dark secrets of the island. Something big, and violent stalks the woods surrounding the mansion, something ancient and hungry, something that feeds upon fear and young flesh. Now, together they must try to find a way to kill the monster and free the children from an island that threatens to tear them apart.

British Railway DMUs in Colour for the Modeller and Historian

British Railway DMUs in Colour for the Modeller and Historian

Gavin Morrison

Ian Allan Publishing
2010
pokkari
Designed specifically for modellers of the modern scene, this new book provides a comprehensive reference to all the livieries that have come and gone on the network since the wholesale privatisation of the mid 1990s.It is now more than 70 years since the first DMUs made their first appearance on the British railway system and more than 50 years since DMUs were introduced onto the BR network in large numbers. From the late 1950s onwards several thousand DMU vehicles were brought into service as replacement for steam services over branches and secondary routes and from the mid-1980s onwards this first generation of DMU was gradually replaced by a second-generation of DMU although the final elimination of the first-generation units did not occur until the first years of the 21st century. On the privatised railway of the 21st century, virtually all non-electrified passenger services are now operated by DMUs of one design or another and, on the preserved railways, many examples of the first generation of stock continue to earn their living.Although initially ill-favoured, as the years passed, so the humble DMU has attracted an ever-growing army of enthusiast fans and this is reflected in the number of web-sites devoted to the subject, to the increasing number of models that are emerging - a reflection of the fact that virtually no model railway covering the BR scene post 1955 can avoid operating DMUs. Fully illustrated throughout, this is the perfect volume for all serious modellers!

Bandersnatch

Bandersnatch

Erika Morrison

Thomas Nelson Publishers

IDENTIFY THE EXPECTATIONS AND LABELS THAT CRAMP YOUR SOUL.Contemporary Christianity seems to be suffering from an epidemic of sameness. Uniformity. Monotony. Those trapped inside are often afraid to step beyond established norms and innovatively express themselves, or they simply don’t know how. And those on the outside of Christianity often see very little that attracts them. Yet God, out of the abundance of his own artistic force, made each one of us unique. Peculiar. Irreplaceable. So why so much pressure to conform?Bandersnatch* explores this intersection of disillusionment and welcomes readers to a liberating journey, an odyssey of the soul. This process is an opportunity for fellow Christians who are feeling weary or stifled by established norms to find God in unconventional ways, as well as an invitation for people on the outside to reimagine what following the mystery of Christ could be like.It is organized around four terms viewed through the life of Jesus: Avant-Garde, Alchemy, Anthropology, and Art. Each expression reveals a diverse facet of God’s unorthodox creativity planted within us, provides a fresh look at the divine nature, and offers a reframed collection of definitions by which to live.Erika Morrison gives us permission to break free from the expectations and labels that cramp our souls. Then, through the lens of singularity, she encourages her readers to cultivate artful, holistic, contributing lives that matter to both heaven and earth.*A BANDERSNATCH, WHILE MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE WILD, FEROCIOUS, AND MYTHICAL CREATURE OF LEWIS CARROLL’S CREATION, IS ALSO A PERSON WITH UNCONVENTIONAL HABITS AND ATTITUDES.

Chinua Achebe

Chinua Achebe

Jago Morrison

Manchester University Press
2014
sidottu
Chinua Achebe has long been regarded as Africa’s foremost writer. In this major new study, Jago Morrison offers a comprehensive reassessment of his work as an author, broadcaster, editor and political thinker. With new, historically contextualised readings of all of his major works, this is the first study to view Achebe’s oeuvre in its entirety, from Things Fall Apart and the early novels, through the revolutionary Ahiara Declaration – previously attributed to Emeka Ojukwu – to the revealing final works The Education of a British Educated Child and There Was a Country. Contesting previous interpretations which align Achebe too easily with this or that nationalist programme, the book reveals Achebe as a much more troubled figure than critics have habitually assumed. Authoritative and wide-ranging, this book will be essential reading for scholars and students of Achebe’s work in the twenty-first century.
