Sinopsis

In "The Icknield Way," Edward Thomas masterfully intertwines lyrical prose and evocative imagery to explore the ancient landscape of southern England. This work, released in 1913, exemplifies the poetic quality of his writing, blending personal narrative with natural history and folklore. Thomas's keen observations of the rural scenery serve as a canvas for broader reflections on time, memory, and the connection between nature and identity, fostering a sense of nostalgia amid the changing world of the early 20th century. Edward Thomas, a prominent figure in the English literary canon, was significantly influenced by the pastoral traditions of British poetry and the tumult of his own experiences. A war poet and keen observer of the English countryside, Thomas's life was defined by a fusion of deep empathy for the landscape and existential contemplation.

In Days Gone By

Mike Blake

"This Poem 'In Days Gone By - Newbury'. Part 3 of the series Nature: Natural Healing.A time when most of the UK Countryside was criss-crossed by small roads and slow moving cars.And the pace was slower and more durable for nature.A delicate balance had been formed between the new motor car and the hedgerows and byways that struck a chord of harmony between each other. Broken now, with too many Motorways and not enough cycle lanes - leaving nature, floundering.I the Author have been writing Poetry for around 20 years. Most of it has been published on Amazon. I write on varied topics which resonate with what I'm thinking or studying at that time.Credit for the artwork on this piece, goes to Mike Miko for his interpretation of this poem into pictorial Art form." His skill in depicting the scenes of the Newbury bypass running through the heart of a forest, with a ghostly image of Swampies son, was truly remarkable.

O Me of Little Faith - True...

Jason Boyett

In this unabridged audio download of O Me of Little Faith, author Jason Boyett brings you a transparent and personal account of his own of struggles with doubts and unbelief in living out his faith. With humor and frankness, Boyett uses personal anecdotes and a fresh look at Scripture to explore the realities of pursuing Christ through a field of doubt.After three decades of knowing God, understanding Christianity, and living a Christian life, Boyett has come to the place where he can voice the tough questions and travel the road of uncertainty with blinders off, candor on. The message along the way is one of encouragement: Relax. Rely on the grace of a merciful God, a kind father who realizes that his finite creatures must have doubts, should have questions, and will have trouble making sense of an infinite Creator. Ultimately, Boyett concludes that doubt and faith are not polar opposites, but actually work together, existing side-by-side. Uplifting, entertaining, hopeful, O Me of Little Faith will strike a chord with you and any Christian who's dealing with the uncertainties of living life in pursuit of a God who occasionally seems to disappear.
