Century Chest Celebration

Mrs. Virginia Eason (Sohlberg) Weinmann removes first item from chest
which was the "Book of the City Builders"
On April 22, 1913, with the Lord's blessing, a burial ceremony took place at the newly built First English Lutheran Church (now First Lutheran Church of Oklahoma City) at 1300 North Robinson. Attendees heard speeches from the church pastor, Dr. Royer, Governor Cruce and other notable Oklahomans. The purpose of the ceremony was to bury an 8'x4'x4' Century Chest filled with treasures from 1913 Oklahoma. The funds raised in conjunction with the Century Chest burial went toward the purchase of the church's Moller pipe organ. The Andrew Carnegie Foundation provided the other half of the funding. This very instrument has faithfully provided our worship services with beautiful music for the past 100 years. Some of the contents of the chest include:
Indian relics, pamphlets and pictures
Pottery made from Oklahoma soil
Original poems and musical compositions
Kodak camera shipped direct to the century chest from the factory
Oklahoma City newspapers
Forecast of Oklahoma City in 2013 by leading professional men
Several articles placed at the last moment and not listed
You can view some of the pictures taken at the celebration on our Photo Album page.
If you want to view the program, OETA has made it available. There is an eight minute delay before the program begins.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935) is a well-established writer whose books bring feminism as a backbone. The best-known American work is The Yellow Wallpaper, a title that has become a must-read in several high schools in the USA. But here, it is worth mentioning another great title in his curriculum: Herland - A Terra das Mulheres, launched in 1915 in the periodical The Forerunner, published in Brazil by the publisher Francisco Alves and found today only in used bookstores.
Considered a "feminist dystopia", the book tells the story of three American boys who make an expedition to an unknown country (Herland, the title) composed only of women and girls for more than 2000 years. With the crystallized image of the ideal women they knew, they are surprised by what they find in this new place. In this place, there are no more wars and violence and asexual reproduction is what rules lives.

TV Movie Review: “The Pacific”
Updated: Jan 19, 2022
By Yuto Maruya
(Japanese translation coming soon)
“The Pacific” was a 10-part HBO weekly miniseries based on World War II which aired in the spring of 2010. The film is about the defeat of Japan from the perspective of the United States. It’s a drama based on the actual experience of three young Americans who volunteered for military duty at the same time at the opening of the Pacific War. The film takes alternate looks at the perspectives of the three.
There are three central figures. The first is Eugene Sledge (Sledgehammer). He was born in 1923 in Mobile, Alabama. He participated in the Battle of Peleliu and the Battle of Okinawa. He belonged to the Marine Corps 3rd Battalion K Company Mortar Corps and was nicknamed Sledgehammer by a close friend.
The second is Robert Leckie. He enlisted after the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. Leckie participated in the Battle of Guadalcanal and the Battle of Peleliu. However, unlike Sledge, he did not participate in the Battle of Okinawa. Leckie was injured by the blast at the Battle of Peleliu. He became a newspaper reporter after the end of the war.
And finally, there is John Basilone. Basilone fought on Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima. Basilone received the highest honor of the U.S. military at the Battle of Guadalcanal. However, in the battle of Iwo Jima, Basilone was killed in action by a mortar.
“The Pacific” was directed by Tom Hanks. Joseph Mazzello plays Sledge, one of the main characters. He was a child actor in the movie Jurassic Park. James Badge Dale played the role of Leckie, and was also in Iron Man 3 and World War Z. The cast also features Rami Malek, who starred in Bohemian Rhapsody.
This drama is based on the memoir of Leckie and Sledge. Leckie became a correspondent for the Associated Press after the end of the war. Leckie wrote nearly forty books, including his combat memoir, Helmet for My Pillow in 1957. Sledge received a PhD in biology after the end of the war and got a teaching job at a university in Alabama. From notes he kept throughout the war, Sledge eventually wrote his memoir With the Breed at Peleliuand Okinawa in 1981. Basilone was awarded a posthumous Navy Cross and Purple Heart for his actions on Iwo Jima.
The Purple Heart is given to soldiers of the entire United States Army who have been killed or injured in operations, including combat. Since 1945, stamps have been issued with Basilone’s likeness, and ships and highways have been christened in his honor.
This drama shows not only the feelings of the US military, but also the feelings of the Japanese military. There is a scene where one of the U.S. soldier’s shouts at a dead Japanese soldier to shoot more guns. In another scene, Japanese soldiers are forced to charge while shouting “Banzai” even if they didn’t want to. This drama conveys the suffering of both Japanese and American soldiers and the misery of war. War is an event that greatly upsets a person's life. We who live in the present must never cause a war.


By Catrina Lyle and Heather Leatherland
Catrina Lyle is an advisory teacher within the Communication and Interaction team and Heather Leatherland is a mainstream primary school teacher. In this paper, they describe the work they did over a two year period with a 7 year old boy (Jack) who had had two fixed term exclusions from his mainstream primary school. He was initially diagnosed with autism and ADHD but did not respond to strategies often used with
autistic children. Further assessment by the staff, his mother and the paediatrician suggested that he fitted the profile of a child with PDA or EDA (Extreme Demand Avoidant).
The staff received training on how to understand and support Jack and a detailed plan was drawn up which was regularly reviewed and modified, as needed. With a different view of his issues and the use of strategies recommended for children with PDA, Jack started to access the curriculum more readily and the challenges he presented to staff and peers reduced considerably. The paper illustrates just how important it is, irrespective of the diagnostic label(s), to understand the child’s view of school and its demands, and to evaluate the approaches taken on a regular basis, in particular observing and respecting the child’s response to these.

How A Father Learned of His Son’s Death, By the Enemy That Killed Him
On June 27, 1862, twenty-two-year-old Captain Theodore C. Rogers rallied what was left of his sweat-soaked and battle-fatigued company. As commander of Company H of the 18th New York Infantry, his men were already weakened by lack of sleep, hard marches, and an afternoon full of fighting on the front lines at the Battle of Gaines’s Mill, near Richmond. Casualties mounted and ammunition ran low as they held their ground, shoring up the lines of the V Corps.
By 7:30 p.m., the Union line was in danger of collapse. The V Corps had already started their exit, along with the orange sky that ushered dusk. Through the soundtrack of combat it was clear that the Confederates gained fresh reinforcements, and were steered to roll right through the 18th New York. The famed Rebel Yell emerged first, followed quickly by the appearance of their overwhelming foe trudging up a wooded slope. The odds were against the 18th New York in every vantage, yet something overtook Rogers who either ignored the odds, or knowingly sealed his fate. With the Confederates just 150 yards away, Rogers ran out in front of his company and urged his men to make a stand. He waved his unsheathed sword wildly and pointed directions of where his men should shoot, and for a moment they started to reassemble a few paces behind him. For the barreling rush of Rebels, the sight of a Union officer alone between the two lines was too good a target, but even for some, it struck awe with them. What followed was expected, and rifle aims were turned on Rogers. He fell with a grievous wound to his groin, but yet he still tried to encourage his men to rally. Life passed within moments as blood rushed out of his wound. Rogers’ body was gathered by his men just before their own line was overrun by Rebels. Facing an inevitable capture by being slowed carrying the body of their captain, his men were forced to drop his body, and they did so by propping him against a tree before continuing the rout. One considerate soldier grabbed Rogers’ sword, which eventually found its way to the family.
Before the war, Theodore Caldwell Rogers had everything going for him. As the eldest child of a Presbyterian minister who moved often to preach to different congregations, Rogers lived at times in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and lastly New York. He was college educated, athletic, and an impeccable orator. He became a civil engineer, and just before the war broke he secured a partnership with the most prominent commercial house in Albany. But he walked away from it all – having felt God wanted him to do his duty as a Christian and patriot. In January 1862, Rogers used his first and only furlough to marry his fiancé. When he was killed in battle, he knew through correspondence that his wife was six-months pregnant with their first and only child that he would never meet.
Tormented by his loss, Rogers’ family heard next to nothing regarding his death, and the whereabouts of his body that fell into enemy hands was never made known (and his burial is still unknown today). Nearly a year would pass before the story of how Rogers died would be told to his family, explained by the very enemy that killed him.
During the winter of 1863, an old female friend of Rogers was vacationing on the island of Nassau (Bahamas). During her stay she became acquainted with a fellow vacationer, Confederate Colonel Duncan McRae, 5th North Carolina, who commanded a portion of Confederate General Garland’s brigade during the Battle of Gaines’s Mill. Putting aside their allegiances, the two engaged in a talk about the war which naturally gravitated to the battle in which they both had something – someone – in common. He told her many things about a particular brave Yankee captain that captivated his attention on the battlefield, and the more he revealed he eventually got to the part on how he learned who he was after the battle. Two letters on his body revealed his name to be Captain Theodore C. Rogers, and the old friend instantly felt how small the world was. The two bonded over this slain young man, and the friend begged McRae to write to Rogers’ father who still searched for closure over the death of his son. Addresses were exchanged and eventually in May of 1863, a letter from New York reached McRae while he was in London, written by Reverend Ebenezer P. Rogers, begging to communicate directly with him. McRae obliged, sat down, and penned the following letter:
London, May 9th, 1863
Rev. Dr. Rogers:
Sir – Your letter of February 25th, addressed to me at Nassau, has just reached me at this place. I know of no prohibition of duty to prevent my responding to the inquiries you address to me, relating to the death of your son, Capt. Theodore C. Rogers, who fell at the battle of Gaines’ Mill, on the 27th of June last. And, although your son was engaged, at the time of his death, in that invasion which has brought desolation to our homes and affliction to all our families, I am not unmindful of the legitimate claims of the widow and mother, and my heart does not refuse its sympathy to a fallen foe, whose conduct was brave and heroic. Late in the afternoon of the 27th of June, on the extreme left of our line, in front of the extreme right of the Federal forces, and in the last charge of our lines, I was in command of a portion of Gen. Garland’s Brigade. The Federal Force had already commenced to retire, and our advance was rapid and impetuous. At a point about one or two hundred yards in our front, a young man, who was recognized to be the Captain of a company, made an effort to rally his command, which was retiring. He had his sword drawn, and could be distinctly seen by us to appeal to his mean to make a stand. He partially succeeded, and when his company halted, and faced to our lines, he was in the front some ten or twenty paces, and was thus thrown between the two fires. Our firing was very heavy, and it was plain to us that his fate was inevitable, and in a moment he fell. We were rapidly pursuing, but, as we passed by, I caused this young officer, whose gallantry had attracted my attention, to be borne a few paces, and laid under a small tree, supposing him to be wounded. I learned afterwards, from the two men who carried him, that he died before reaching the spot I had indicated.
Capt. Young, who resides at Henderson, Granville county, N.C., was commanding the regiment in front of which he fell, and he assumed the task of examining the body, to ascertain such articles of value as might be saved from the seizure of the soldiery. I can not be precise as to all the articles found, as so many like events have occurred since, but I remember a watch was among them, and three letters, one from yourself, one from his mother, and one from his wife. Those letters were read by Gen. Garland and myself, with a view to ascertain to whom his valuables might be sent, and all the articles, with the letters, were entrusted to Capt. Young, who charged himself with their transmission to the relatives of the deceased. About daybreak the body of your son was buried, under my supervision, in the same manner in which our own officers were interred. I did not examine the body, which was covered when I saw it, and am therefore not able to inform you of the nature and locality of his wound. Nor do I know whether he ever spoke after receiving it. I have endeavored, sir, to respond to your inquiries, and if there be any consolation derived by you from the testimony of those who, by his position, were made his enemies, this testimony to the brave and gallant conduct of your son is readily accorded by,
Yours, sir, very respectfully,

Mere months before The Great Pause shut down the world,
Diane Tarantini was asked by a child safety expert to write a book that would teach children, in a non-threatening way, the concept of “grooming,” the process by which a sexual predator gains the trust of a potential victim and sometimes their family.The Brave Knight is that book.“In The Brave Knight, Tarantini articulates incredibly complex child abuse grooming techniques/dynamics (ie. desensitizing physical contact, isolation from familial supports, love for perpetrators, disparity of social power), and somehow does it in an age-appropriate, non-threatening way. A brilliant, compelling, and inspiring resource for kids and those who love them.” -Robert Peters: Senior Attorney at Zero Abuse Project, founder of Shield Task Force, former prosecuting attorney, former US Marine· The nonprofit Libera purchased 7,000 copies of The Brave Knight, one for every foster child in West Virginia.
_ · The West Virginia Library Commission chose The Brave Knight to be the 2023 “Summer Read” in every public library in the state._“As a therapist, it is hard to find books that approach this subject with such finesse and still get the point across. This is that book. The discussion questions, activities, and take home points at the end are amazing. The artwork is perfect. This is a great book to read to your own child, your class, or kids' therapy group! Nailed it! 10 out of 10!” –One of dozens of 5-star reviews on Amazon.

What is it about paper and books? We have the technology to wipe out what looks to be on the surface an outmoded way of reading books. And yet, like cockroaches in a literary apocalypse, paper books will be there, ironically, after the fire.
Is it the resistance of paper, the scratching, the push and pull against millions of crisscrossing fibres mashed out of a tree? Maybe. Is it because its just a lot nicer of an experience knowing where you’re at physically in a book and knowing when you’ll finish? For sure. But one of the big things about paper, especially when you’re in the business of building software, is that it always works. Paper doesn’t crash. It doesn’t require a battery or a plug. It doesn’t beep and blip at you begging for an upgrade.
I’ve been thinking a lot about reading. This is what you do if you’ve got a small book platform. I’ve been thinking of how digital books can not only be as good as paper but work with it. This is especially the case when we have all sorts of reports of a slowdown in eReader sales and an uptick in paper book sales.
The actual point of building Bastion is to get people reading in their fractured, daily lives today. So take the best of both book worlds. Digital books are easy to add, edit and delete from, and paper books are nicer to hold. What is in between? How do books approach interaction and even games on a broader scale? What if you can unlock things between paper and digital? How do you sync them? How big is the paper side of the story? Pocket-size or something you put on a wall?
This is where Bastion is hopefully headed, towards a world of reading that fits nicely not only into the time of your life but also into the physical space of your life.


Series on account of which I have stayed up way too late and devoured a series of books like candy:
1. Hugh Howey, the silo books. The first one is Wool, and it is not about knitting. not at all. Hint: they all live in an underground silo.
Mystery type books.
1. Kate Atkinson, the Jackson Brodie series – set in the British Isles, “mystery” spiced with sly humor. I really like these. Jackson Brodie is divorced, listens to great music in his car, and always solves the puzzle even when the plot meanders through a maze of overlapping and interlocking characters.
2. Thomas Perry, the Jane Whitehead books – they are all alike, but it’s okay, they’re all a lot of fun. Jane agrees to make someone disappear/reappear/ in a do-it-yourself witness relocation process, and on the way many bad guys almost get her but are dispatched. Have you ever watched Burn Notice? If so, you might have noticed how the voice over makes the most impossible things sound kind of possible: “If you need to make a bomb in a hurry, you need peanut butter, a plastic bag, and a mousetrap” etc. These books do the same thing with evading bad guys.
3. Julia Spencer Fleming – Rev. Clare Ferguson. very cute – feisty tomboy helicopter pilot hears the Call, becomes an Episcopalian priest, is assigned to a small town in the Adirondacks, where she and the sheriff have an immediate connection . . . but he’s married! . . . and there are mysteries . . . and each one focuses on an aspect of the history and culture of the Adirondacks – loggers vs environmentalists, historical antipathy to vaccines, immigrant farm workers, Iraq vets readjusting to civilian life, etc.
4. Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child – the Agent Pendergast books. Again, they’re all the same and all a lot of fun. Why, that Agent Pendergast can escape from an underground dungeon where he is manacled to the wall and guarded by six soldiers, then defeat all the bad guys using only items in the pockets of his immaculate suit coat!
5. Denise Mina – any and all. She writes about the gritty side of Glasgow which, as far as I can tell from these books, is every side. They can be a bit dark, but I think they’re great. I may reread the Garnet Hill series this fall.


Prince Hall, Boston Abolitionist and Freemason
BY BILL BAILEY ON SEPTEMBER 2, 2011 •
Prince Hall (c.1735 – December 7, 1807), was a tireless abolitionist and a leader of the free black community in Boston. Hall tried to gain New England’s enslaved and free blacks a place in some of the most crucial spheres of society, Freemasonry, education and the military. He is considered the founder of “Black Freemasonry” in the United States, known today as Prince Hall Freemasonry. Hall formed the African Grand Lodge of North America. Prince Hall was unanimously elected its Grand Master and served until his death in 1807. He also lobbied tirelessly for education rights for black children and a back-to-Africa movement. Many historians regard Prince Hall as one of the more prominent African American leaders throughout the early national-period of the United States.
The details surrounding Prince Hall’s life involving abolitionism and masonry are more certain than his early life. He attempted various approaches to advance black rights. He was politically active, petitioning for the abolition of slavery in Massachusetts and fought for laws to protect free blacks in Massachusetts from kidnapping by slave traders. He proposed a back-to-Africa movement and pressed for equal education and funding for black and white school children, even operating a school in his own home. He showed his prowess in debate early on, citing Christian teachings in a petition that spoke out against slavery to fellow Christians in a predominantly church-attending Massachusetts legislature.
After the American Revolution ended, many African Americans who served in the ranks or as aids during the war expected equality from the whites whom they had stood next to against the British. Prince Hall soon emerged in the high profile realm of politics and was instrumental in proposing several pieces of legislation that would improve the lives of African Americans throughout New England . However, the situation soon became apparent that the African American place in society had budged little throughout the duration of the war. In addition to proposing legislation, Hall also hosted a variety of different events for African Americans including theater events as well as educational forums. Prince Hall’s role of an educator of the African American youth as well as a politician may very well have been just as instrumental as his foundation of the African American Free Masonry Lodge.
Hall urged the enlistment of both enslaved and freed blacks for the attempt to free the American colonies from British control. Hall was concerned with the development of the colonies if they gained independence. He was certain that involvement of blacks in the construction of the new nation would be the first step toward the complete freedom for all blacks. The Massachusetts Committee of Safety declined Hall’s proposal to allow blacks the opportunity to fight for the colonies. Prince Hall and supporters of his cause petitioned the Committee by comparing Britain’s ruling of the colonies with the enslavement of blacks. A proclamation from England guaranteed blacks that if they enlisted in the British army instead of the Continental they would be freed at the end of the war. Only after the British Army began to use blacks in their troops did the Colonial Army change its decision to block admission of blacks into the military.
It is very likely that because of his strong support for the revolutionary cause Prince Hall had served in the Massachusetts militia during the American Revolutionary War. It is again unclear definitively whether he served or not since at least six men from Massachusetts who were named “Prince Hall” served in the military during the war.
The Masonic fraternity was extremely attractive to free blacks of the eighteenth century. Prince Hall and his followers saw Freemasonry as a platform where racial differences did not exist. The Masonic ideals greatly appealed to Hall, especially the beliefs in liberty, equality and peace. Prior to the American Revolutionary War, Prince Hall and fourteen other free black men petitioned for the admittance to the white Boston St. John’s Lodge. They were turned away. Some whites were irate of the audacity for blacks applying to be Masons. Due to the resistance of colonial Masonries, Hall looked elsewhere and on March 6, 1775, Hall and fifteen other free blacks were initiated into the Masonry by members of the Irish Military Lodge No. 441. The Lodge was attached to the British forces stationed in Boston. Hall and the other freedmen founded African Lodge No. 1 with Prince Hall named as Grand Master.
A problem quickly arose for black men wishing to become Masons in the newly formed United States: the members of a Lodge must agree unanimously in an anonymous vote to accept a petitioner to receive the degrees. As a consequence of the unanimity requirement, if just one member of a lodge did not want black men in his Lodge, his vote was enough to cause the petitioner’s rejection. This sentiment can be seen in the letter of General Albert Pike to his brother in 1875 where he says, “ I am not inclined to mettle in the matter. I took my obligations to white men, not to Negroes. When I have to accept Negroes as brothers or leave Masonry, I shall leave it.” Thus, although exceptions did exist, Masonic Lodges and Grand Lodges in the United States generally excluded African Americans. And since the vote is conducted anonymously, this created a second problem: since no one knew who had voted against the applicant, it was impossible to identify a member as pursuing a policy of racism. This allowed even a tiny number of prejudiced members to effectively deny membership to black petitioners, and in some cases even exclude black men who had legitimately been made Masons in integrated jurisdictions. Thus there arose a system of racial segregation in American Masonry, which remained in place until the 1960s and which persists in some jurisdictions even to this day.

The Millionaire Next Door
When I was little, I thought wealth meant having a pool-side mansion, the kind you would see on MTV’s Cribs. Parties with scantily-clad women, a tiger on a leash, and a raging hangover in the morning. A mini-giraffe, running on a treadmill, while I sat on my gold-plated couch in a jumpsuit. This book will change that perception. Guess what? Millionaires are normal, frugal people. More often than not, they practice “Stealth Wealth”. They don’t worry about people’s perception, they care more about their bank accounts. And this book will show you the habits and lifestyle of real millionaires, and show you how to become one.
Rich Dad Poor Dad
This is another great book to help foster a wealth-building mentality. Robert Kiyosaki understands intimately the mindset of people who become wealthy. He writes about his perspective growing up; his natural born father was an employee, stuck in an employee mindset; while his best friend’s father was a budding entrepreneur. The book is filled with stories about the difference in the mindset of normal people, and those that go on to build great wealth. Other solid books in the Rich Dad Poor Dad Series include Tax-Free Wealth, Guide to Investing, and the ABCs of Real Estate Investing.
The Automatic Millionaire
In this popular finance book, David Bach shows the importance of “Paying Yourself First”. Bach covers in depth the importance of putting money aside regularly, before you get your grimy paws on it. Another important basic concept covered in the book is the power of compound interest. Small, regular contributions can grow immensely given enough time, and Bach has plenty of illustrations to prove it. In addition, Bach covers the controversial “Latte Factor”. Though some people in the personal finance world will scream bloody murder, the importance of small, non-value added transactions throughout a given month or year definitely add up. As part of your self-education, this book is definitely worth a look.
The Intelligent Investor
Benjamin Graham is the father of “value investing”. His keystone book, The Intelligent Investor, describes the process of successfully investing in individual stocks. Graham successfully utilized the idea of investing with “A margin of safety”, or buying a stock at a price below its intrinsic value. In addition, he harps on the idea of investing as if you are making a business deal with a partner, “Mr. Market”. Only YOU decide if and when you buy or sell a stock. He also preaches developing principles, and sticking to your guns. You may not have heard of Graham, but you’ve undoubtably heard of his most famous student, Warren Buffett. This book has been described by Buffett as the greatest book on investing ever written.
The Index Card
Following a dare, Harold Pollack was challenged to write everything a person would ever need to know about personal finance on a notecard. The following photo went instantly viral, and inspired the book explaining each of the principles Pollack advocates. While the points covered are fairly basic and fundamental, that is the books true strength. If you have never read another personal finance book before, or don’t know where to start, the information on Pollack’s index card and in his book will set you up for life.

This book is a manual for the mycological rescue of the planet. Setting the stage for the mycorestoration revolution, Mycelium Running unveils new methods for growing mushrooms, generating mycelium, and implanting mushroom colonies into the environment. Capitalizing on the digestive power of mycelium, this pioneering book shows how to strengthen sustainability of habitats while providing a multitude of biological benefits. Based upon the premise that habitats and humans (animals) have immune systems, and that mushrooms are the beneficial bridges for both, Mycelium Running marks the dawn of a new era: the use of mycelial membranes for ecological health. Linking mushroom cultivation, permaculture, ecoforestry, bioremediation and soil enhancement, Stamets makes the case that mushroom farms can be reinvented as healing arts centers, steering ecological evolution for the benefit of humans living in harmony with its inhabitants.

30-year anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, 30-year anniversary of German-German unification: Anniversaries such as these should provide an occasion to re-sort and realign collective memory, to renegotiate orientations and values. Remembrance culture must, therefore, remember more than just the social majority. The publication Labor 89 offers intersectional perspectives on the period of reunification. In eight portraits, political activists from black, POC and/or queer* feminist positions tell of social struggles for equality and self-determination. They explore the possibilities and limits of political participation, recall historical events, debates, actions and cross-community projects, filling the time between the mid-1980s and mid-1990s with their h*stories.

I wanted to share a new yoga resource with you. Gloria Drayer, a wonderful yoga teacher and friend, has co-written a book entitled, Yoga and Grief, a compassionate journey toward healing. This book is an insightful guide, explaining different yoga techniques and how they can support you as you experience and move through loss.
One of the first things I noticed about the book was the gentle, comforting language used. Nowhere do we hear what we must do to assuage our grief. Everywhere we are encouraged to use what works for us, to respect our own needs, to allow ourselves what time we need to heal, despite outside pressure to move on.
Most likely, the writers’ own experience and wisdom has guided their supportive tone. Both Gloria and Kathleen came to write this book out of their own experiences of loss: Gloria as she cared for her mother in her last year of life and Kathleen as she faced a major health crisis in her own life. Both talk about using the techniques of yoga described in this book to help them through their own journeys.
The writers explain that the suffering of loss unbalances our entire system. By using techniques of yoga we can rebalance the energy of our bodies and minds to find, over time, a sense of calm and peace.
This book is remarkable in its breadth, clarity, and accessibility. Strategies offered include breathing techniques, gentle yoga postures, meditation, chant, and the use of ritual. For each of these techniques, several options are offered for their use. For example, in the chapter on yoga postures, there is a practice that can be done in a chair, another done standing, another on the floor, a longer practice, as well as suggestions for rest, so that anyone can find something appropriate.
In each chapter, the writers explain the benefits of each technique and offer easy to follow instructions to perform it. To help follow instructions for yoga postures and breathing practices, clear black and white photos supplement the instructions, which are written accurately and simply. To support learning of the chant and meditation, Gloria has recordings of the chants and guided meditations given in the book on her two websites.
I highly recommend Yoga and Grief, a compassionate journey toward healing, whether you are dealing with grief right now or not. We all experience losses in our lives, be it the loss of a loved one, the death of a pet, the loss of health, the loss of a relationship, or a job or home, and most of us help others close to us with their losses. To understand the techniques of yoga and how they can support us can be invaluable when we need help. Gloria and Kathleen have created a remarkable resource. It is a gift to those needing a path through grief.

lip lit: the perfect world of miwako sumida by larissa Goenawan
In a word: Wow. Just…wow. What a beautiful, heartbreaking book. For what is at first glance a small and unassuming tale, it certainly packs a punch. That being said, it’s done in a really gentle way, with the writing used to carve out the story rather than build it.
The Perfect World of Miwako Sumida revolves around Miwako Sumida, a young woman in Tokyo who carries a traumatic secret. However, rather than seeing the world through her eyes, the narrative is told through the perspective of three different characters, all of whom love Miwako in their own unique way: Ryusei, a close friend who harbours unrequited love for her; Chie, Miwako’s best friend, who guesses at her secret but can never find the courage to talk about it; and Fumi, Ryusei’s sister, who spent many years carrying a secret of her own.
Within the first page it is revealed that Miwako recently died by suicide after fleeing Tokyo for a remote village. Before her death, she sent Ryusei a letter to say that she’ll finally explain everything, but she dies before they speak again. Heartbroken, Chie and Ryusei travel together to the village to trace Miwako’s last steps in an attempt to discover why she took her own life. While they are gone, Fumi receives an unexpected visitor who helps her to uncover and understand her own demons.
The Perfect World of Miwako Sumida is a misleading title in a way, as Miwako’s world never does seem perfect. Neither does Miwako, for that matter. In fact, during the beginning of book, she is downright unlikable; certainly, more standoffish and rude than most fictional characters I have come across. But as we get to know her through her friends’ eyes, we learn to love Miwako too — her intelligence, her honesty, and her deep loyalty and love for the people in her life.
I’m hesitant to give too much away, as part of the joy of reading this book was uncovering it layer by layer, each piece adding depth to the text. Though the author, Clarissa Goenawan, is from Singapore, modern Japan is described in intricate detail with the easy familiarity of one who knows it well. More than this, however, the language is reminiscent of Japanese books The Travelling Cat Chronicles (Hiro Arikawa) and If Cats Disappeared from the World (Genki Kawamura). In these stories, as in Goenawan’s, beautiful language and scenes are used as backdrops for a gentle uncovering of what it really means to be human; if anything, the bareness of the writing contains more than any longwinded paragraph filled with metaphors ever could. The Perfect World of Miwako Sumida also contains the same magic realism of these books, where supernatural/magical occurrences, rather than being the focus of the story, are drawn on to create a deeper real-world understanding of grief and loss.
This novel tackles many different themes, some more universally relatable than others; from the sticky sweetness of unrequited love to the unbearable heaviness of hidden trauma. There was no doubt at the beginning that this was going to be a sad book, but even I surprised myself by how deeply I cried at the end.
Despite the sadness of the book, and it is an undeniably sad story, there is also a strange sense of hope: that the bonds between friends and family are unshakeable even through death, and that real love doesn’t need to be reciprocated. Rather, we can appreciate and adore the people we have for the time we are given, and love them for exactly who they are without asking anything in return. And, most importantly, we don’t need to last forever to be eternal and meaningful. And if that isn’t a lovely message for the crazy, oftentimes deeply upsetting, world of 2020, I’m not sure what is.
Thanks to our friends at Scribe Publications, we have one copy of The Perfect World of Miwako Sumida to give away! To enter, simply shoot us an email at [email protected] with ‘Miwako Sumida’ in the subject line by 5pm Wednesday 28th October 2020. The winner will be selected at random. Good luck!

The Sign Of Four - A Sherlock Holmes Review
This week I managed to finally finish one of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes novels, The Sign Of Four . It is the second Sherlock Holmes novel, preceded by A Study In Scarlet. I have also read ASIS, but I won't be reviewing it since it's been so long since I've read it. As for The Sign of Four, it took me a long time to read, but that was mostly because I got to reading other things and forgot I was reading it.... but I had extra time this week and finished it!
In The Sign Of Four, we find that our detective, Sherlock Holmes, has turned to a seven-percent solution of cocaine in order to deal with his boredom, to Watson's dismay. However, just as Watson is about to take matters into his own hands, a new case appears for the consulting detective. When young Miss Mary Morstan appears at their door with the mystery of her father's death, Sherlock is intrigued. He agrees to take the case, and the detective and his companion begin their adventure.
I'm going to give The Sign of Four a solid 4 out of 5 stars. I've always been a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes, but before beginning the books, my obsession was limited to the Robert Downey Jr movies, and the TV shows Sherlock, and Elementary. Reading the books is, obviously, an entirely different medium, yet it is one I greatly enjoyed.
The writing itself was surprisingly easy to read. Since it was written quite some time ago (about 120 years ago), and my knowledge of old books is greatly limited to the works of Shakespeare, I went into it expecting something very different. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find the writing to be very modern! My edition was 113 pages, so it didn't take me very long to read it. But I would suggest having a dictionary or thesaurus handy, because it does have a lot of large, unusual words (for me, anyway)!
As for the characters, I enjoyed both Sherlock and Watson equally. Sherlock's character is interesting and fun to read, since he's so unusual. His deductions are extraordinary and I have no idea how he figures out all the things he does. He is calm and patient, always explaining himself to Watson, but you can tell he often knows more than he's telling. I'm always curious to see what he's going to do or come up with next!
As for Watson, he's a little less eccentric, but no less likable. He's often the voice of reason for Sherlock, and he's a bit more easy to relate to. I feel like Watson is often portraying what the readers are feeling - confusion and awe at Sherlock's abilities.
Plot-wise, the mystery was alright. It was interesting, and I wasn't able to guess the ending, which is always good. However, it wasn't as exciting as I'd hoped. In this book, I definitely only continued reading it in order to see what Sherlock and Watson would get up to next, not to find out the conclusion to the mystery. There's a bit too much detail on unnecessary things, in my opinion. This was the main reason I went with 4 stars rather than 5 stars, because the mystery could have been better.
Overall, I enjoyed the story and I'm definitely going to continue reading the Sherlock Holmes series. It's easy to see why it's such a classic and iconic story, as Arthur Conan Doyle is truly a genius. I will never understand how he managed to think up all these mysteries, and all the little deductions that Sherlock makes. If you're a fan of Sherlock Holmes, be it the TV shows or movies or any of the other stories, I would definitely recommend this book. Even if you don't know much about Sherlock Holmes, I would still suggest giving it a try!
Goodbye for now,


Before the first European Boulder was the home of the Southern Arapahoe Native Americans. The Arapaho were a Plains tribe of the Algonquian family. They called themselves Inunaina, which translated to “our people”. They once live by the Great Lakes area, but were pushed farther west by other tribes who were fleeing the advancing settlers. After coming west and crossing the Missouri River, the Tribe split, the northern tribe headed north into Wyoming and the Southern tribe came to Colorado.
The Utes, who had been in Colorado for many centuries, attacked the Southern Arapaho expeditions when they tried to settle farther into the Colorado mountain country so the Southern Arapaho settled and made semi permanent camps in the high plains. The Arapaho lived in tipis made from bison hides and would move camps frequently following herds of bison. They had dogs that would pull the tipis around for them when they were on the move. The dogs were later replaced with horses after the European settlers brought them America and they started being available through trades and raids.
In the summer, the Southern Arapahoe spread out more and made hunting expeditions into the nearby mountains and into the Southern and Northern park areas to hunt bison, elk and deer. In the fall, they gathered in the planes and had collective hunt ceremonies. In the winter, they settled down into more permanent camps on the plains.
Chief Niwot, also known as Left Hand, was a leading chief at the time of the arrival of the first settlers. When the first settlers arrived at Settlers Park in 1858, Chief Niwot went to tell them to leave and that they were not welcome. The settlers refused and Niowt, seeing that they were well armed, decided that it would be better to try to keep the peace with them. As the story goes, Chief Niwot uttered these words “People seeing the beauty of this valley will want to stay, and their staying will be the undoing of its beauty.” And they became known as the curse of Niwot.
Chief Niwot was fluent in English and bartered many peace agreements and worked very hard trying to keep the peace with the new settlers for many years. This was not easy as the flood of settlers grew bigger and bigger each year. In the years to come, many conflicts would arise between drunken miners and cowboys abusing the Native Americans and young and out of control Native Americans raiding and murdering the settlers.
Relations between the Southern Arapaho and the settlers continued to deteriorate. Around the 1860s, the Southern Arapaho were forced onto the Sand Creek Reservation, which was an unlivable piece of land. Many Native Americans were very discontent with the situation, and many young Native Americans continued raids and murders against the settlers.
The settlers started demanding more military action and protection against the Native American raids. A pattern started where the Native Americans would go out on the war path in the mountains in the spring and summer killing and pillaging settlers and in the fall, when the snow was ready to force them out of the mountains, they would go back to the valley and would call for peace talks and live in peace throughout the winter and do it all over again in the spring. After a few years of this, the settlers and the military were becoming fed up.
On November 29, 1864, Colonel Chivington and his army of men attacked the Sand Creek Reservation at dawn, surprising a sleeping village of poorly armed Native Americans. It was a massacre in which estimates say 150-200 Native Americans died, mostly unarmed women and children.
The attack was basically the end of what was left of the traditional Southern Arapaho tribe and system. A few warriors escaped and went on a warpath pillaging and killing any settlers they saw for years. But most of the survivors spent the rest of their lives in poverty and despair on reservations.


Chris Claremont writes both comics and prose. His initial unbroken 17-year run on Marvel Comics The Uncanny X-Men is the stuff of industry legend. The story arc “Dark Phoenix,” with its radical treatment of the story’s central character, paved the way for the reinterpretation of superhero mythos throughout the comics industry. His work is lauded for its anti-prejudice themes, and groundbreaking inclusion of minorities as heroes. He is the creator of such iconic characters as Gambit, Mystique, Kitty Pryde, and Rogue.
Although best known for his work on Marvel Comic’s X-Men series, Chris has written other seminal characters such as Batman and Superman, and The Fantastic Four. He is especially proud of his creator-owned work, with includes The Black Dragon and Marada, the She-Wolf (art by John Bolton) . He is the author of nine novels, with more on the way.
Chris’s papers are archived in the Rare Book and Manuscript Library of Columbia University (New York City) and are available for research.
I can answer any questions you have regarding Chris, his appearances, his projects, availability, and more.
