  The Practice of the Presence of God

  "The time of business does not with me differ from the time of prayer."
  
  In a world obsessed with productivity and complex rituals, Brother Lawrence offers a liberating alternative. The Practice of the Presence of God reveals how a former soldier and footman—who described himself as a "clumsy blockhead"—transformed the menial labor of a monastery kitchen into a profound spiritual sanctuary. His "method" requires no special posture, no silent retreat, and no advanced degree; it simply requires an ongoing, conversational intimacy with the divine during every waking moment. Whether you are washing dishes, answering emails, or navigating a busy commute, Lawrence's wisdom shows that the "sacred" is not a place you go, but a perspective you carry.
  
  
  Brother Lawrence famously claimed that he possessed God as peacefully in the "clatter of his kitchen" as if he were on his knees before the Blessed Sacrament. He teaches that by performing every small act out of love, we eliminate the divide between our "spiritual lives" and our "real lives."
  
  Long before the modern mindfulness movement, Lawrence perfected the art of staying in the present. His focus on "pure love" and the "habitual silent conversation" serves as a powerful antidote to modern anxiety and the feeling of being constantly overwhelmed by "needless thoughts."
  
  This book has remained in print for over 300 years because it is arguably the most accessible spiritual guide ever written. It is a favorite of world leaders, quiet seekers, and people of all faiths who desire a life of interior depth without withdrawing from the world. It is the ultimate proof that the smallest life can be the most significant.

The innocent are punished and the guilty get away with their sins and the author goes laughing down the hill at the end of the story.

  What if the brightest charm hid the darkest truths beneath it? In “Je ne Parle pas Français” by Katherine Mansfield, you step into the mind of Raoul Duquette, a cynical Parisian narrator whose sharp observations, moral contradictions, and unsettling humor reveal far more about himself than about the people he judges. When he encounters a young Englishman searching for inspiration and romance in Paris, Raoul’s story takes a darker, more introspective turn - blurring the line between fascination, manipulation, and self-deception. Mansfield’s writing delivers an intimate psychological portrait that is as subtle as it is incisive, exploring the shadows beneath elegance, charm, and human desire. With her signature precision, she captures the complexity of relationships, the sting of loneliness, and the illusions we cling to in order to survive. Press play and experience one of Katherine Mansfield’s most haunting and unforgettable narratives - where every word reveals a hidden truth.

  From 1976 to 1989, Hai Fan was part of the guerrilla forces of the Malayan Communist Party. These short stories are inspired by his experiences during his thirteen years in the rainforest.  
   
  Struggling through an arduous trek, two comrades pine for each other but don't know how to declare their love; a woman who has annoyed all her comrades finally wins their approval when she finds a mythical mousedeer; improvising around the lack of ingredients, a perpetually hungry guerrilla makes delicious cakes from cassava and elephant fat. The rainforest may be a dangerous place where death awaits, but so do love, desire and hope.  
   
  Delicious Hunger is a book about the moments in and between warfare, when hunger is so palpable it can be tasted, and the natural world becomes an extension of the body. Deftly translated by Jeremy Tiang, Hai Fan's stories are about a group of people who chose to fight for a better world and, in the process, built their own.
