Cosmic Order - Brockwood Park...

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Cosmic order - 7 June 1980  
• Is there an order which is not man-made? 
• Can the brain ever be free from the impositions, pressures, wounds, bruises, all 
the trivialities of existence? 
• Time is my whole existence. I take refuge in the past, which cannot be 
changed. Why does the brain accept this way of living, and why doesn’t it break it down? 
• As long as I have my roots in the past there cannot be order. 
• If the universe is not of time, can the mind which has been entangled in time, 
unravel itself and so be the universe?

Breakfast with the Scavengers

Ben Rhys Palmer

In Ben Rhys Palmer's joyful debut collection, discombobulated robots rub shoulders with philosophising hyenas, orangutan brides, Mesopotamian fish gods, and a psychotherapist from outer space.

A Welsh poet based in Mexico, his poems about Mexico capture the magic and vibrancy of a country André Breton once described as 'the most surrealist in the world.' Other poems pay homage to Welsh cult heroes John Cale and Adrian Street, and Ben's plucky ancestor, Rebecca Howells, who emigrated to Patagonia after her husband was killed in a mining explosion at Blaengwawr Colliery.

At once funny, tender, and beautifully bizarre, Breakfast with the Scavengers explores love, loss, loneliness, our never-ending quest for connection, and those blink-and-you-miss-them moments of transcendence that can light up our lives.

Intimate Conversations -...

Susannah Larry

The Bible can help us have better conversations about sexFor many of us, sex education often lacks clear information and honest dialogue. Discussing sexuality can be confusing, especially when secular and religious ideas seem at odds.These concerns can be especially acute for parents seeking to have conversations with their kids about healthy, faithful sex. We know that abstinence-only education doesn’t prevent risky behavior and that purity culture leaves harmful legacies—yet we want our faith to sit right with our counsel, including on sex. If we don’t endorse shame-based messaging but still believe that faith has a role in sexuality, what might Scripture and Christian theology actually have to say to us today?Though the Bible is often vague on the whos, whens, wheres, and whats of sexuality, it does offer a beautiful image of the why: to know and share the love of God. In these pages, scholar and parent Susannah Larry considers how the Great Commandment to love God, neighbor, and self shapes our sexuality and the ideas we pass on to our kids. Grounded in Scripture and celebrating the goodness of human sexuality, Intimate Conversations will help readers reclaim the Bible as a resource for telling a joyful and holistic story about sex.
