Redeem your story, redefine your creativity, and make a life that
truly matters Sometimes the greatest gift you can receive is for
your life to fall apart. After years stuck in a painful cycle
fueled by past abuse and ongoing addiction, actor, artist, and
director Blaine Hogan finally hit rock bottom. No longer able to
hide behind the veneer of success or find comfort in the shadows of
compulsion, Blaine was forced to look at the story his life was
telling and realize he'd lost the plot. Desperate to find hope, he
gave up a budding career and took a major life detour where he
discovered that facing his past was the key to unlocking a new kind
of creativity. In Exit the Cave, Blaine shares the stories that
shaped him while exploring how our relationship to our past defines
how we imagine the future and live in the present. Through powerful
personal revelations, he invites you to take up the practices of
radical imagination and real creativity so you can tell a better
story with your life. If you've ever been stuck, addicted, ashamed,
discontented, or lost, take courage--a richer, more imaginative,
and meaningful life is waiting for you just outside the cave. "A
tender but fierce story of survival, reckoning, and redemption.
Blaine manages to somehow weave themes of acting, allegory,
addiction, family, and faith into one beautifully written account
of his own healing. This is the kind of story that will redeem
you."--Laura McKowen, bestselling author of We Are the Luckiest
"Blaine Hogan has inspired me for many years with his unique way of
seeing the world. In this book you'll find a blast of inspiration
and a trusty guide to help you exit the cave and enter a world that
is real and beautiful and vital."--Brad Montague, New York Times
bestselling author and illustrator of The Circles All Around Us,
Becoming Better Grownups, and Kid President's Guide to Being
Awesome
Winner of the 2020 Paraclete Poetry Prize, Litany of Flights is a
luminous examination of the journey of the soul, from moments of
loss to moments of incandescent transformation. These poems remind
us to behold the extraordinary in the ordinary, and that the secret
workings of the divine occur even through the difficult: "the
painful paring of your hollow bones has made you light." Drawing on
the beauty of the natural world, the devastating effects of drought
and wildfires, tender moments of daily experience, and lessons of
the saints, the poet creates a landscape of light and darkness,
with unexpected turns into divine presence and absence. Through a
spiral of red-tailed hawks, the nest of a mourning dove, the
parting of waters, and the ripeness of a persimmon, this shimmering
collection invites the reader to singular and transfiguring flight.
Litany of Flights (from the forthcoming collection) First, the
winged movement, steady, forward. Scrub jays in flitting progress,
hawks in predator glide, a ringing up, a knife-sharp slope down.
Second, the effortless type, wind-splayed, motionless pinions in
thermal recline, as the Psalmist says, blessings breeze his love
even in sleep. Third, the hungry, against the gale, the destination
singular and the sun dipping crimson. Fourth, the metallic,
business or pleasure. Fifth, the whirring kind, all hummingbird. A
picnic, apples and chocolate in the garden with roses, both flower
and child. You miss it when it's gone. Sixth, a baffling flight of
stairs, winding upward, passage and yet vehicle, spiraling to
unseen landings-hope courses in the kaleidoscopic lights. Seventh,
soar to the sun. Eighth, melt in bitter hubris. You know the story.
Ninth, escape. A flight out of Egypt, a path through the sea
cleared by divine hand. The times you ran, the times you were left
behind in lament. Tenth, only rotting in the belly of a whale tames
your stubborn turn from Nineveh. Eleventh, flights of despair and
of yearning, two sides of one letting go, hard-earned release back
into the wild, unbound by expectation, featherlike. Twelfth, in a
moment, caught up high by the Beloved, the one making all things
work together, wings, body, arch, air-caught up, like the Shulamite
bride, to regions beyond aeronautical wisdom, transported in joy.
See, he says, the painful paring of your hollow bones has made you
light.
People come to the guest house for fresh air and views across the
Atlantic. But if they're lucky, they might just leave with the

not much passes Esme by. There's Cora, the wife visiting

whose family is slipping away from her. Esme's guests provide the
colour that helps her keep her grip on the world. All of them have
something they want to escape – or to hold on to. But can Esme
help them find their way before the summer is over? From

This timely book examines advances in teaching and learning at
undergraduate level from the disciplines of geography education,
neuroscience and learning science. Connecting these disciplines,
the chapters integrate research on how students learn and explain
how to teach students to think geographically and develop a deeper
understanding of their world. Questioning what it means to think
geographically, the contributors identify ten elements that
characterize thinking geographically including the weaving of
various perspectives, making connections, creating meaning through
spatial thinking, relational thinking and multi-scalar thinking.
The book offers a collection of turnkey exercises designed by
geography educators for use in human geography courses at
universities. These insightful exercises are designed to assist
with promoting geographic thinking and learning, and provide a
matrix that serves as an outstanding resource. Teaching Human
Geography makes a unique and significant contribution to geography
education as an excellent resource for instructors looking to
improve their practice and facilitate learning. Addressing how
geography teaching can be transformed, it will also improve
undergraduates' ability to think geographically by integrating
research in learning science and geography education.

Claire. But before that can happen, Doug and his crew learn that
there may be a way to rob Boston's venerable baseball stadium,

What is Colonialism? develops a clear and rigorous account of what
colonialism is and how it works. It draws on and synthesizes recent
work in cognitive science, affective science, and social
psychology, along with Marxism and related forms of analysis. Hogan
begins with some fundamental conceptual distinctions, such as the
degree to which a group shares beliefs, dispositions, and skills
versus the degree to which they share identification with a
category. Building on these distinctions, he defines colonialism in
terms of political, economic, and cultural autonomy, clarifying the
nature of culture and autonomy particularly. He goes on to
articulate an invaluable systematic account of the varieties of
colonialism. The final chapters outline the motives of
imperialists, differentiating these from their ideological
rationalizations, and sketching the harms caused by colonialism.
The book concludes by considering when, or if, one can achieve a
genuinely postcolonial condition. Hogan illustrates these analyses
by examining influential literary works—by European writers (such
as Joseph Conrad and Athol Fugard) and by non-Europeans (such as
Kamala Markandaya and Wole Soyinka). This accessible and
informative volume is the ideal resource for students and scholars
interested in colonialism and empire.
This book addresses the dying process and the nature of death
itself with the intention that it might help us to accept and
embrace both these things as a part of life. Intended to provide a
shift in perception, this book aims to alleviate some of the fear,
resistance and denial surrounding death. Much has been written
about death by spiritual teachers, psychologists, philosophers and
palliative specialists, but this book is an entry into the
conversation from a viewpoint that is not medical, religious, nor
postulating any form of belief system. It is partly a survey of our
attitude and resistance to dying and death, and partly an
examination of the options available that could serve as a
non-denominational enquiry into this unavoidable eventuality. The
principle belief is that the tools required for this shift in
perception are to be found within us - we already possess what we
need that would allow us to drop the heavy weight of fear and
anxiety. This book will help the reader to find these tools,
guiding the reader towards their own, most direct route, and
focuses on the validity of individual experience.
With mental health increasingly in the spotlight, this book offers
a new perspective on anxiety. The focus of this book is on the
application of psychological alchemical practice to address,
explore and examine the nature and cause of anxiety in order to
tackle and overcome it. It has never been more relevant to
illustrate the reality that scientific, artistic and spiritual
understanding, together with practical application, has the
capacity to eliminate anxiety and gain personal control, liberation
and fulfilment. The first half of the book identifies the issues to
be considered and the second half explains and illustrates the
alchemical practices with which to approach them. While the book
puts a slight emphasis on musical performance, it is made clear at
the outset that performance concerns everyone and the contents,
therefore, apply universally. Music is simply a very clear example.
The book is designed as a personal development book rather than a
scholarly work and, although it is relevant to all ages (depending
on timing), it was written with 18 - 30 year olds being the main
inspiration through apparent and ever increasing necessity. It is a
source book that can be dipped into anywhere or launch further
investigation into any of the various disciplines and practices
covered. Alchemy has the capacity to bind it all together and the
alchemy of performance can become a way of life for anyone.
