Describes life on any Rancho in Mexico in the early 70's,
situations familiar as well as amusing. Like Water for Chocolate,
these twelve short stories of love unfold in the Mexican desert. As
a young woman I was introduced to one particular family when I
spoke no Spanish and they spoke no English. Young readers will find
this bi-cultural adventure packed with anthropological moments that
come to life. Whether getting water or getting married humans
change little from one generation to the next. The love of beauty,
awe, and surprise is never out of date and always worth
remembering. The stories are written and formatted side by side for
ease to learn Spanish or learn English. The translations are unique
as a testament and educational. I have told these crazy stories at
parties and to strangers for forty years. The stories are meant to
cross cultures and bring joy to anyone who is learning to bridge
two worlds through the language of communication from Spanish into
English.
The Stations of the Cross became a Christian devotional practice in
the thirteenth century. This collection of image and text
highlights new perspectives on an ancient tradition. Miller has
used the ritual metaphorically to journey with Jesus Christ from
his trial to his entombment. The participants use Christian art to
meditation on the Biblical story. The story of Jesus Christ's final
sufferings reveal themselves like a passion play as we walk with
Him to Mount Calvary. Sacred Art is more than biblical story
telling. These 15 Stations of the Cross were designed to help
navigate through a prescribed set of messages and motif to
understand better how we humans fit into Christ's message of love.
Three times he meets the Women, three times he falls and is only
helped once, He is stripped of his dignity yet is resurrected into
light and loving energy. The hope is to understand the ritual
practice, which is no longer limited to only church, but speaks of
our human capacity to go beyond suffering.
