The Laura Ingals Wilder - Little House on the Prairie series It takes me some place that reminds me of a home(yet not in this life). I don't own this one but want to: Prayers for Sale by Sandra dallas. It is beautiful on so many levels. Ted Andrews & several more spiritually guided books - too many to mention. ------------------ "Once in a while you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right" Robert Hunter IP: Logged

mys-elf13 Moderator Posts: 205 From: deerfield Registered: Apr 2009	posted April 22, 2010 07:39 AM Nephthys- What do you love about it? For me the characters are so rich. The symbolsim of who/what they represent and their interactions with one another and themselves is what I hold so dear. How the story plays out and unfolds with lessons that still hold true to today. It is a brilliant piece of work. It breaks my heart every time I read it. It makes me think about my own judgments and attitudes toward others. ------------------ "Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible, then suddenly you are doing the impossible� Saint Francis of Assisi "Once in a while you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right" Robert Hunter IP: Logged
Nephthys Knowflake Posts: 941 From: California Registered: Apr 2009	posted June 02, 2010 02:17 PM myself13, I am so sorry I never got back to you on this, I only just saw your reply now. I am thinking of making my own thread to keep track of where I post b/c I always forget where I posted as I only come here during my down time at work. What I love about the book is the childhood innocence. I loved being a child and had a great childhood. It takes me back. I also love the setting/time era/location. I always wish I could visit the "old south". I love the simplicity of the town, although the characters are huge. There was a house near my last apartment that I lived in, that I called the "Boo Radley" house because it looked/seemed like the Boo Radley house, and seemed so mysterious. There are so many things I love about it. Think I will re-read it this summer IP: Logged

They become family to me and I can only let go of one when I adopt it out to somebody else.. For example, my youngest's bf was leaving for Luxemborg last fall and I gifted to him Stephen Hawking's "History of Time" and I need to replace it...eventually. t IP: Logged

I adore it, because it teaches kids a certain independance and who they really are. http://www.purplehousepress.com/suzy.htm IP: Logged

SunChild unregistered	posted March 13, 2011 07:48 PM The ones come to mind are The Secret Teachings of All ages,,Bhagavad Gita, The Upanishads, Occult Science, Foundations of Esotericism, Theosophy: higher worlds & the destination of Man, Intuitive Thinking as Spiritual Path, all my Steiner classics. The Prophet, Khalil Gibran. Childhood stuff: The Green Snake & The Beautiful Lily- Goethe The Emperors New Clothes my collection is huge now and I don't think I would ever part with any of them. ------------------ �It�s an interesting thing. Seeing Kuan Yin relating to a flower so intently. She's not just looking at it; she's interacting with it�I�m seeing how the act of relating to a flower appears to be so simple. Yet, it takes a tremendous amount of courage to make such a �simple� act important. Now, the lotus is floating away.� IP: Logged
