Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - A poem is a lyrical expression of the heart's prose. It carries within it the rhythm of our emotions and the wisdom of our journeys. As we look back at life in all its magnanimity, failures no longer seem so distressing, nor do triumphs feel overwhelmingly intoxicating. With age comes equanimity-an inner stillness, a quiet acceptance, and above all, a deep appreciation for the relationships that give life its meaning.Through empathy and resilience, we come to understand that even the darkest of hours holds within it the promise of a glorious sunrise. This collection is an invitation to feel deeply, to flourish fully, and to take flight in the boundless skies of imagination and hope.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Wait Till It's SpringA Light Novel of Quiet Realizations and a Life Gently ReclaimedWhat if this life is just a classroom-and every joy, heartbreak, routine, and moment of waiting is a lesson we're meant to learn Set in the gentle rhythm of Indian family life, Wait Till It's Spring follows Asha, a mother of two young boys, as she moves through the familiar chaos of parenting, prayers, grief, and rediscovery. While waiting outside her son's school one day, a strange, quiet thought stirs: perhaps life is like a class-meant for learning, failing, and repeating until we finally pass.When a beloved elder in the family passes away, Asha returns to her hometown for the 12-day mourning ritual. Amid incense smoke and evening lamps, she begins to notice the way simplicity, balance, and small acts of grace shape a life worth living. Conversations with relatives, fleeting memories from her youth, and the wisdom hidden in ordinary people lead her into a quieter truth: peace doesn't come from status or struggle. It comes from living well, daily, with no unfinished bitterness.Through humble moments-watching her children draw, walking to the park, or observing an elderly woman folding laundry with care-Asha learns how to live with more intention, gratitude, and lightness.This novel is a slow, meditative journey through the overlooked beauty of everyday life. It doesn't shout. It listens. It doesn't demand change. It invites you to realign.Wait Till It's Spring is for readers who crave simplicity, reflection, and warmth. If you've ever felt the world spinning too fast and wondered if you're missing the point-this book is a pause, a breath, and a reminder that the smallest shifts in how we live can transform everything.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This open access book brings together storytelling and self-narrative, creative writing and narrative enquiry to explore a variety of topics in migration from an experiential lens. The volume is hybrid and multi-genre as it contains both scholarly chapters grounded in academic perspectives, as well as personal essays and creative non-fiction. In addition to critical reflections on key migration topics and concepts like, identity and diversity, integration and agency, transnationalism and return the scholarly chapters also propose a particular methodology for workshopping migration narratives, and writing about (personal) lived experiences through iterations of scientific reflection, narrative enquiry, and creative imagination. The book explores the potential of a new conceptual paradigm and methodological process to learn more, and also `differently, about the migration experience. Finally, this volume asks a bigger question too how do we define the boundaries of research;is it possible to entirely separate the spatial, temporal and methodological parameters in which projects are developed and pursued; and how can the specifics of these multiple contexts contribute to shaping the knowledge being produced? This open access book brings together storytelling and self-narrative, creative writing and narrative enquiry to explore a variety of topics in migration from an experiential lens.
