  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  Haifa has become the most comfortable and sought‐after destination for LGBT asylum seekers from the West Bank and the Gaza Strip thanks to its status as a mixed city of Jews and Arabs. Sami fell in love with its streets, its Arab neighborhoods, its Eastern restaurants serving tasty and familiar food, the Haifa Bay as seen from the Independence Shield, and of course with the sea that was always there, like a promise that everything was still possible… 
  Nimaar was born as Sami in a small Palestinian village near Ramallah into a reality of violence. His abusive and estranged father, clashes with the Israeli Army, and persecution due to rumors about his sexual orientation turned his childhood into a living hell. He manages to find solace on the football field, but when his sexual identity is exposed and the danger to his life becomes clear, he has no choice but to flee to Israel, a place he had always seen as a cruel enemy. In Haifa, he tastes freedom for the first time and meets LGBT youth from the territories and Israel. Yet even there, he discovers that the past does not let him go and continues to haunt him. 
  "Korak'ah" is a stirring and heartfelt novel about loneliness, survival, and courage, and about the relentless pursuit of freedom and a safe haven.

  In this 2023 conversation with Justine Willis Toms, poet-philosopher Mark Nepo shares how we can have a direct connection to the attending guiding spirit within. Nepo helps us understand that the heart plays a central role in how our life-force manifests, and considers it one of our greatest resources as a conduit for our intuitive mind.  
  Nepo gives us an analogy from India regarding how to meet fear and pain, which we often inflate, and provides a practical suggestion in “right-sizing” them. He suggests that we describe one, two or three reliable truths which are our personal foundation and which we can return to as we meet the challenges of daily life. He also writes about how the "net of relationship" distributes our suffering. 
  Mark Nepo is the author of many audio learning projects and over 20 books including:Reduced To Joy (Cleis Press 2013)Seven Thousand Ways to Listen: Staying Close To What Is Sacred (Free Press 2012)The One Life We’re Given: Finding the Wisdom That Waits in Your heart (Atria Books 2016)More Together Than Alone: Discovering the Power and Spirit of Community in Our Lives and in the World (Atria Books 2018)Drinking from the River of Light: The Life of Expression (Sounds True 2019)The Book of Soul: 52 Paths to Living What Matters (St. Martin’s Essentials 2020)Surviving Storms: Finding the Strength to Meet Adversity (St. Martins’ Essentials 2022) Falling Down and Getting Up: Discovering Your Inner Resilience and Strength (St. Martins’ Essentials 2023)
