  Sit tight for a heartwarming story about a woman named Laura who lives in a little cabin in the woods that her father built. When she and her granddaughter befriend a gnome, her eyes become opened to a world of fairytale creatures and animals. Together, they embark on adventures and uncover the need to balance the hustle of modern life by opening their hearts and minds to the magic of nature. 
  Based on true events and inspired by traditional folklore tales, you will fall in love with its characters; including a family of gnomes, otters, a beautiful cardinal named Dean, an elf, a wood nymph, and an evil witch. After you read this book, you’ll look at your next walk in the woods a little differently. Was the breeze that caressed your face a spirit that drifted by you? Was the bird singing to you or following you through the woods? This book not only brings you a deeper appreciation for nature, but also teaches important lessons on life, nature, and balance--which are needed today more than ever. 
  This story is written by Orion Moondreamer Mata, who is of Yaqui descent, and grew up in the woods of Michigan.

He is also an accomplished woodworker, making custom cultural pieces. Orion is the father of four wonderful children and is supported by his beautiful wife Heather, who holds down the fort while he's out protecting our community.

  Bhakti-Yoga - From DOG to GOD...

  No animal can ask questions about God, but humans can. Dogs may go to a temple or eat the remnants of sanctified food, but their capacity to understand and relish spiritual life is limited. Humans have the rare opportunity in this life to experience the divine gift of God consciousness. 
  Our beloved teacher and spiritual master His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda explains that this Kṛṣṇa or God consciousness is sublime and everyone can take part in it. The process is simple. Simply by chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa Hare Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Hare Hare Hare Rāma Hare Rāma Rāma Rāma Hare Hare one can experience spiritual bliss. One can chant and dance in ecstasy with this Maha-Mantra, the great chant for deliverance and even a dog can take part in it. 
  In the spiritual texts of Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta (Adi 10.1-2) it is said: 
  “Let me repeatedly offer my respectful obeisances unto the beelike devotees who always taste the honey of the lotus feet of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. If even a doggish non-devotee somehow takes shelter of such devotees, he enjoys the aroma of the lotus flower.” 
  In the purport it is explained: 
  “Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s saṅkīrtana movement is so strong that even a doglike non-devotee can gradually become a devotee by the association of a devotee of Lord Caitanya. Śrīla Śivānanda Sena, a great householder devotee of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu, attracted a dog on the street while going to Jagannātha Purī. The dog began to follow him and ultimately went to see Caitanya Mahāprabhu and was liberated. Similarly, cats and dogs in the household of Śrīvāsa Ṭhākura were also liberated. Cats and dogs and other animals are not expected to become devotees, but in the association of a pure devotee they are also delivered.”

  On the Future of Our Educational...

  Friedrich Nietzsche

  In 1869, at the age of twenty-five, the precociously brilliant Friedrich Nietzsche was appointed to a professorship of classical philology at the University of Basel. He seemed marked for a successful and conventional academic career. Then the philosophy of Schopenhauer and the music of Wagner transformed his sense of purpose. The genius of such thinkers and makers—like the genius of the ancient Greeks—was the only touchstone for true understanding. How then was education to answer to such genius? Something more than sturdy scholarship was called for. A new way of teaching and questioning, a new philosophy...What that new way might be was the question Nietzsche broached in five vivid, popular public lectures in Basel in 1872. Composed in emulation (and to some degree as a satire) of a Platonic dialogue, Anti-Education presents a provocative and timely reckoning with what remains one of the great problems of modern societies.
