Death's Bright Angel Part Two: Sacred Ground by Marion Earl MacKenzie Pdf
Sacred Ground is the sequel to Death’s Bright Angel, Part One: The Prophecy. The novel incorporates characters from both the Blackthorn and Silverwood Trilogies., tying together all of the author's previous novels. There are two Time Streams: 2016 and 2018/19, so the past and present are juxtaposed. As the story opens, Dr. Glen Abbott has awakened from a coma following surgery to remove a benign lesion from his brain, only to realize that he is now living two plus years in the past (2016). His young daughter, Hannah, after her transformation into the supreme spiritual being, Gaia Magni, during Samhain, The First Rite of Winter (2018), has sent him back in time to relive a portion of his life over again to free him from the heartbreak and despair of losing his wife and daughter. But there are numerous challenges ahead for Abbott as he attempts to navigate his way through his second life with knowledge of the future before him. Gaia Magni is the fulfillment of a Druid Prophecy. A supreme spiritual being, she is charged with restoring harmony and balance to Nature and preventing an Apocalypse, a Sixth Extinction Level Event (ELE) as the result of humanity’s relentless assault on Mother Earth. Armed with the Wisdom of the Ancients and the power of Dark Energy, Gaia Magni is truly omnipotent with powers unimaginable. She begins her campaign to rescue Earth and the Biosphere by first demonstrating her power to the world by affecting a global blackout that turns the Earth into a Black Marble. Though an “enlightened spirit”, Gaia Magni makes it clear to everyone that she is prepared, if necessary, to wipe humanity from the face of the Earth in order to protect the millions of other species in the Biosphere on the brink of extinction as a result of humanity’s wanton destruction of the natural world. But there are those in governments and billion-dollar corporations who vigorously oppose the Rules of Natural Law that Gaia Magni has imposed and resist The Way Forward. They are intent on keeping their wealth and power at all costs, even if it means the end of humanity...

Timuel Black is an acclaimed historian, activist, and storyteller. Sacred Ground: The Chicago Streets of Timuel Black chronicles the life and times of this Chicago legend. Sacred Ground opens in 1919, during the summer of the Chicago race riot, when infant Black and his family arrive in Chicago from Birmingham, Alabama, as part of the first Great Migration. He recounts in vivid detail his childhood and education in the Black Metropolis of Bronzeville and South Side neighborhoods that make up his "sacred ground." Revealing a priceless trove of experiences, memories, ideas, and opinions, Black describes how it felt to belong to this place, even when stationed in Europe during World War II. He relates how African American soldiers experienced challenges and conflicts during the war, illuminating how these struggles foreshadowed the civil rights movement. A labor organizer, educator, and activist, Black captures fascinating anecdotes and vignettes of meeting with famous figures of the times, such as Duke Ellington and Martin Luther King Jr., but also with unheralded people whose lives convey lessons about striving, uplift, and personal integrity. Rounding out this memoir, Black reflects on the legacy of his friend and mentee, Barack Obama, as well as on his public works and enduring relationships with students, community workers, and some very influential figures in Chicago and the world.

World War I, Mass Death, and the Birth of the Modern US Soldier by David W. Seitz Pdf
World War I, Mass Death, and the Birth of the Modern US Soldier: A Rhetorical History examines the United States government’s postwar ideological and rhetorical project in establishing permanent national military cemeteries abroad. Constructed throughout Europe where citizen-soldiers had fought and perished, and sacralized as American sites, these burial grounds simultaneously linked the nation’s war dead back to American soil and the national purpose rooted there, expressed the nation’s emerging prominent role on the world’s stage, and advanced the burgeoning icon of the “sacrificial, universal” US soldier. It draws upon untapped archival and historical materials from the WWI and interwar periods, as well as original on-site research, to show how the cemeteries came to display and advance the vision of the modern US soldier as “a global force for good.” Ultimately, within the visual display of overseas cemeteries we can detect the birth of “the modern US soldier”—a potent icon in which divergent emotions, memories, beliefs, and arguments of Americans and non-Americans have been expressed for a century.

On September 12, 2000, I had a dream that woke me up in the middle of the night. A voice, without form, said, "Write the story of your mother's life." At the time, I thought that would entail recounting the unique adventures of her early life on a homestead outside Calgary, Canada. Little did I know that her story would instead begin with a stroke that marked the beginning of her passage into the last stage of life. I never imagined that Mom would have to deal with the issues of assisted living and nursing homes, broken hips, and strokes. She had always suffered from high blood pressure and had weathered several heart attacks years ago. I was certain that her death, when it came, would be quick and clean.What lies ahead is the story of my journey with Mom through the last stage of her life, a journey into assisted living and her eventual death. I made a commitment to myself to join her in this as deeply as possible. I had no idea how this decision would force me into depths of my own character I never knew existed. My coping mechanisms were often rendered useless. I had no road map for a journey ruled by the unpredictable and offering no escape from the reality of death.

She seeks help from the late John Hartford, the brilliant theoretical physicist assassinated in 1983 by the Soviet Union.

The Doomsday Clock is ticking and it is a race against Time to save the Biosphere. In the alternate reality of 2017, Glen Abbott’s relationship with Virginia Montgomery is failing.

Their marriage is on the rocks and he fears he has lost his chance to reclaim the love and contentment they had enjoyed before her death in 2018. In desperation, he tells her the truth; that he is from the future and that their daughter, Hannah, will evolve into Gaia Magni upon her Ascension.
