Life on Earth ultimately depends on the oceans. As world-renowned ocean scientist Sylvia Earle succinctly puts it, 'No blue, no green.' This powerful statement underscores the fundamental connection between the health of our oceans and the vitality of our planet. Climate change is inflicting severe damage on this essential 'nursery of life', drastically impairing the ability of the world's oceans to sustain and renew life.To address these pressing challenges, it is imperative to re-imagine our relationship with the wondrous world of water. Can we cultivate a renewed love for the sea that fosters a transformative interaction, shifting from exploitation to cooperation? Even more radically, can we reclaim our inheritance and move beyond the Western narrative of viewing the ocean merely as an object, instead embracing it as a communicative, sacred presence?Reflecting on the insights and teachings of Indigenous peoples is crucial in this endeavour. Indigenous communities have long regarded the ocean with reverence, recognizing its sacredness and intrinsic value. Their traditional ecological knowledge offers profound lessons on how to live in harmony with the natural world. By listening to and learning from these perspectives, we can begin to reshape our interactions with the ocean, fostering a more respectful and sustainable relationship.In their work On the Edge: A-Way with the Ocean, Graeme Garrett and Jan Morgan invite readers into a journey of engagement with a diverse array of thinkers, including philosophers (especially phenomenologists), poets, theologians, and scientists. Drawing from their experiences in the coastal town of Tathra in New South Wales, they explore how we can listen to the cry of Earth and return to the threshold of wonder.This invitation to wonder is a call to action. By re-envisioning our connection to the ocean, we can begin to address the environmental crises we face. Embracing the ocean as a sacred, communicative presence encourages us to protect and preserve it, ensuring that it can continue to support life on Earth. It is through this profound shift in perspective that we can move towards a future where the health of our oceans and our planet are restored, and where our interactions with the natural world are characterized by cooperation, respect, and reverence.

Several years have passed since the old plantation-style mansion at 1324 Blessing Path was lovingly restored, but the mysterious old place is apparently still calling the shots. Years ago, when it was discovered that the house had supernatural tendencies, two retired ladies set out on a quest to determine its history. Tracing its lineage from central Texas to Charleston, South Carolina, they uncovered a love story worthy of comparison to Gone with the Wind and eventually realized that there were "plans" for the structure that had been set in place as far back as 1950.This time, however, events lead one of the ladies not to the east coast but to the deserts of west Texas where she befriends a beautiful, young woman from Guatemala. Wondering whether their meeting was serendipitous, Jamie returns to Sweet Grass Memories, the name given the House, and shares a handwritten letter with Ms. G that the young woman gave her the last time they spoke. The letter, together with a photograph of a lone boat on the shore of the Rio Grande, lead the two of them, Reid, Tracy, and the kids of the House, on another adventure, one that rivals any television docudrama.The story winds its way from the dry, blowing sand of west Texas, into Mexico, and finally returns to the estuaries and humidity of Charleston, South Carolina, and its indomitable Gullah people. People whose ancestors endured like blades of grass pushing through concrete; endured and sang songs about faith and hope as they journeyed toward freedom.Just like the Gullah peoples during the slave era, today many others endure. Walking or riding northward through deserts, they journey toward a different kind of freedom; freedom from devastating drought and hunger, and freedom to live again in places that are absent the perils associated with trying to survive where malevolence thrives.

"Dan Wos unmasks their techniques and reveals the agenda of the gun-control movement." Tom Gresham, Host of Tom Gresham's Gun Talk Radio Show"Good Gun Bad Guy 3 adds even more details to the narrative that all responsible gun-owners need to know." Beth Alcazar, Editor of Concealed Carry Magazine "Dan Wos is a modern day code breaker." Cheryl Todd, Host of Gun-Freedom Radio"Good Gun Bad Guy 3 - Exposing Anti-Gun Politics" is the 3rd book in the Good Gun Bad Guy series. Dan Wos explains the mindset of the anti-gun crowd in a way no one else can. In book 3 he shows the reader the underlying agenda behind gun-restrictions. Gun laws are not necessarily for the purpose of saving lives. There is a much more sinister motive behind the attacks on the 2nd Amendment and Dan lifts the curtain to reveal all the dirty secrets the gun-grabber don't want you to know about.

There may still be time for a despondent, mysterious old house with tiny pineapples carved on its eaves to fulfill the dream of one of its owners over seventy years ago. But in order for that to happen, two retired ladies, one black and one white, must unravel the mystery that surrounds both the house and the children who have come to believe it belongs to them. It's these children, living in the apartment complex across from Blessing Path, that most need the puzzle solved because the "For Sale" sign just placed amid the weeds in the front yard seems ominous to them.The clues include old newspaper clippings, a policeman's chance meeting with a soft-spoken genteel visitor, love letters during World War II, and a mason jar, recently excavated from the backyard that is filled with exquisite patterned shells of the sea, long protected by its rusty cap. Together, these pieces of information draw the ladies from the heart of Texas to the sparkling South Carolina coast and deep into the culture of Charleston and its Gullah heritage.Sweet Grass Memories was built on Texas soil, but if you cross her threshold and wait quietly for a few moments, you might just catch a whiff of pluff mud and taste the saltiness of sea air.
