Sara Marconi, Beniamino Sidoti"Le so tutte"Illustrazioni di Francesco FagnaniEdizioni Lapiswww.edizionilapis.itSavannah e Maicol sono amici da sempre, anche se non potrebbero essere più diversi.Savannah è brillante, determinata e appassionata di ecologia. Ha un mito assoluto: Ross Michaels, imprenditore visionario e guru dell'ambientalismo, con cui sogna – un giorno – di salvare il mondo. Maicol invece è imprevedibile, buffo, pieno di idee. A scuola si perde facilmente, le sue risposte sorprendono, confondono, fanno sorridere o disperare le maestre. Nessuno sembra capirlo, tranne Savannah.Finché un giorno Maicol riceve un oggetto misterioso: un ciondolo capace di fornire la risposta esatta a qualunque domanda. Da quel momento, sa tutto. Sempre. Confida in gran segreto alla sua amica che l'oggetto gli è stato recapitato da una civiltà aliena. All'inizio è entusiasta. Finalmente non sbaglia più, tutti lo ascoltano, le risposte arrivano senza fatica. Ma a poco a poco si rende conto che quel sapere non gli appartiene: è il ciondolo a parlare.Savannah è convinta che il ciondolo fosse destinato a Ross Michaels – i nomi si somigliano, dopotutto.Quando vince un concorso della Ross Corporation, parte con Maicol per partecipare al torneo e incontrare finalmente il suo idolo.Ma l'incontro non va come previsto: il ciondolo costringe Ross Michaels a dire la verità e rivela che la consolle “ecologica” è in realtà fatta di plastica.Per Savannah è una delusione profonda. L'uomo in cui aveva riposto fiducia si rivela ben lontano dai suoi idealiMaicol recupera il ciondolo e scopre che era davvero destinato a lui. Solo che è arrivato in anticipo: dieci anni troppo presto.Savannah, disillusa ma più consapevole, capisce che non basta sapere tutto. Le risposte non contano, se non si fanno le domande giuste.E capisce anche che non sarà Ross Michaels a salvare il mondo. Maicol, forse, sì. Naturalmente, con il suo aiuto!Età di lettura dai 9 anniSara MarconiEditor e traduttrice, si laurea in Storia della lingua italiana presso l'Università di Bologna.

Ettore Perozzi"Spazzini spaziali"Per un futuro sostenibile dello spazioPrefazione di Roberto BattistonEdizioni Dedalowww.edizionidedalo.itOggi sentiamo parlare spesso di detriti spaziali, che costituiscono una minaccia per i satelliti intorno alla Terra. Come far fronte a questo problema? Attraverso la crescita di una coscienza comune a tutta l'umanità, una “coscienza spaziale”.«I satelliti operanti oggi nello spazio sono costretti a fare lo slalom per evitare la spazzatura spaziale, con perdita di tempo, aumento di costi, rischi di malfunzionamento. La necessità di stabilire regole chiare e condivise cresce ogni giorno di più, così come la necessità di sviluppare tecnologie in grado di monitorare le orbite dei frammenti e ripulire lo spazio, bene comune planetario».Roberto Battiston È vero che attorno alla Terra orbitano non solo satelliti artificiali ma anche una miriade di detriti prodotti dalle attività umane? Corriamo davvero il rischio che ci cadano in testa? Il nostro pianeta finirà per essere circondato da un'impenetrabile barriera di rifiuti? Perché non è possibile raccoglierli come si fa sulla Terra? Non potremmo gettarli nel Sole, un grande ed ecologico inceneritore cosmico? Con l'avvento delle megacostellazioni satellitari, risolvere il problema della proliferazione dei detriti spaziali è sempre più urgente.La soluzione non è rinunciare ai benefìci che lo spazio ci offre quotidianamente, dai navigatori satellitari al monitoraggio ambientale. Come tutte le tecnologie, anche quelle spaziali hanno degli inconvenienti che possono essere risolti se affrontati per tempo. È una sfida globale che richiede la crescita di una coscienza comune a tutta l'umanità: una coscienza spaziale.Ettore Perozzi è laureato in Fisica e si occupa di dinamica del sistema solare, meccanica celeste, missioni spaziali e divulgazione scientifica. Dal 2017 al 2020 è stato responsabile dell'Ufficio per la Sorveglianza Spaziale dell'Agenzia Spaziale Italiana. Ha scritto diversi libri, tra cui: Ordine e Caos nel Sistema Solare (con Alessandra Celletti, UTET 2007, finalista al Premio Galileo), Il Cielo che ci cade sulla testa (Il Mulino 2016), Luna Nuova (Il Mulino 2019), Parola di Astronauta (con Simonetta di Pippo, Lapis 2019, vincitore del premio “Un Libro per l'Ambiente”).

Alessandro Riccioni"A casa"Mark JanssenEdizioni Lapiswww.edizionilapis.itÈ notte e una luce fende il cielo… Una stella cadente? Una bambina segue la scia luminosa e trova sul terreno qualcosa d'inaspettato: una navicella fumante con a bordo una buffa creatura tondeggiante. La bimba è felice di avere un nuovo amico. Lo prende per mano e inizia a mostrargli quanto sia meravigliosa, vasta e colorata la Terra e quanto siano sorprendenti i suoi abitanti.Un viaggio straordinario nel fascino della natura, un'avventura nella quale si entra completamente, avvolti e catturati dalla bellezza del nostro pianeta.  Con un uso magistrale dell'acquerello, Mark Janssen fa risplendere la Terra di colore, forme e movimento, grazie all'immediatezza e alla potenza di illustrazioni maestose. E quando per il visitatore arriverà il momento di partire, una domanda si farà strada: e se fosse questo il luogo che avevasempre cercato? Non ci sorprende che resti qui. Per sempre. Sentirsi a casa è una sensazione magica e la Terra è un luogo magnifico, ma è la scintilla dell'amicizia a renderla davvero accogliente.Mark Janssen è uno dei più talentuosi e prolifici illustratori, capace di creare universi strabilianti portando alla massima capacità espressiva la tecnica dell'acquerello.Ad arricchire l'edizione italiana di A CASA le parole suggestive di Alessandro Riccioni, che ci accompagnano alla scoperta della bellezza della natura, del sentimento dell'accoglienza e del calore dell'amicizia: temi declinati con sensibilità poetica. Il risultato dell'incontro tra immagini e parole è un albo in cui i colori sembrano prendere vita e vibrare di emozione: contrasti cromatici e giochi di trasparenze appagano lo sguardo e lo nutrono di un continuo senso di meraviglia.LE TAVOLE DI A CASA SONO RISULTATE TRA LE OPERE VINCITRICI DELLA MOSTRA ILLUSTRATORI ALLA BOLOGNA CHILDREN'S BOOK FAIR 2024Mark JanssenIllustratore pluripremiato, ha lavorato a quasi 500 libri illustrati e, a partire dal 2016, ha iniziato anche a scriverne le storie, ricevendo il favore della critica e del pubblico. Con L'isola, pubblicato nel 2019 da Lemniscaat, ha attirato l'attenzione del pubblico italiano.Alessandro RiccioniScrittore, poeta, traduttore. È nato a Lizzano in Belvedere (BO) nel 1956.

Giuseppe Ciarallo"Era bello il mio ragazzo"Morti sul lavoro.Canzoniere del dolore e della rabbiaEdizioni Pendragonwww.pendragon.itLe morti sul lavoro diventano sempre più argomento di denuncia e di riflessione, materia di conflitto sociale e di vertenza sindacale. Ne è una ulteriore conferma il fatto che tale questione si ritrova sempre più spesso in quella che è una delle forme espressive di maggiore imapatto popolare: la canzone. E così troviamo questa materia dolente in molti testi della musica leggera italiana, riportati in questo volume in cui Giuseppe Ciarallo compone una sorta di autobiografia della classe lavoratrice italiana uccisa, ferita, resa invalida, che inizia con Lu minaturi di Domenico Modugno (1954) e si conclude con L'uomo nel lampo di Paolo Jannacci e Stefano Massini (2024). Ogni testo di questa raccolta rappresenta un pezzetto di una grande storia, quella dell'industria italiana, dei suoi lavoratori e delle sue lavoratrici. E della salute e della sicurezza. Il libro è il prodotto di un progetto che mette insieme i nomi di artisti e di gruppi musicali, ognuno con la propria impronta e il proprio stile; e che avvia un processo collettivo di memoria e di consapevolezza: gli incidenti sul lavoro e le malattie professionali non sono qualcosa di occasionale e di imprevedibile. Sono la tragica conseguenza di un complessivo sistema produttivo che funziona a spese dei suoi ingranaggi umani.Giuseppe Ciarallo, di famiglia molisana, è nato nel 1958 a Milano. Scrive di letteratura, musica, satira: ha collaborato con le riviste «PaginaUno», «InKroci» e «A-Rivista anarchica». Attualmente scrive per «Lapis» e ha una rubrica su «Buduàr», magazine on line di cultura umoristica. È stato uno dei fondatori e redattori di «Letteraria/Nuova Rivista Letteraria/Nuova Rivista Letteraria nuova serie» e «Zona Letteraria – studi e prove di letteratura sociale», periodico del quale è stato direttore. Ha pubblicato le raccolte di short-stories Amori a serramanico (Tranchida, 1999), Le spade non bastano mai (PaginaUno, 2016) e Le opinioni di un sax tenore e altri racconti (Calibano, 2022). Suoi sono anche un poemetto di satira politica dal titolo DanteSka Apocrifunk – HIP HOPera in sette canti (PaginaUno, 2011), una raccolta di testi in forma di poesia Dada Revolution (abrigliasciolta, 2021) e, in collaborazione con l'illustratore Manlio Truscia, Zappa – il fumetto (PaginaUno, 2022). Ha inoltre partecipato con suoi racconti a diversi libri collettivi, scritto sceneggiatura, testi e dialoghi dei graphic novel Chi ha rapito san Gennaro? e Milano visionaria (Guida Editori, 2023), e curato il catalogo L'eco del Padrone (Bliff!, 2023). Per Pendragon è autore di Era bello il mio ragazzo. Morti sul lavoro.

Andrea Valente, Lucia Scuderi"La foresta che cresce"Edizioni Lapiswww.edizionilapis.itDall'ippocastano di Anne Frank ai cipressi di Michelangelo, fino al ficus di Falcone e Borsellino: una suggestiva “foresta” tutta da esplorare, grazie ai racconti di Andrea Valente con le illustrazioni di Lucia Scuderi. 16 alberi, uno per ogni capitolo, con illustrazioni a piena pagina. A ogni albero è dedicato un racconto che ne narra la storia. Sono differenti per tipologia e si trovano in punti diversi del pianeta. Alcuni ci sono ancora, altri non più, ma a volte i loro semi sono stati piantati e oggi ci sono innumerevoli fratelli di quel capostipite che ha emozionato, ispirato, o tenuto compagnia a personaggi importanti. Al centro di questi racconti che attraversano le epoche e i luoghi, c'è sempre il rapporto tra un albero e un essere umano.Gli alberi attraversano secoli, a volte millenni. Fra tutti gli esseri viventi, nelle loro numerose specie e varietà, sono veri e propri testimoni del tempo, di eventi importanti per noi umani o per il pianeta. Fonte d'ispirazione per artisti e musicisti, simbolo di pace e di lotte civili per la giustizia, gli alberi sono esseri viventi di cui prendersi cura e da preservare. In queste storie la natura non è solo lo scenario in cui si succedono fortunate o sfortunate vicende, ma diventa protagonista della Storia, in dialogo con la nostra specie. Le radici degli alberi sono nel nostro passato, le fronde parlano al cielo. Andrea Valente ne ha ascoltato i segreti, coltivando una foresta ideale che, dopo tanti anni, ancora oggi cresce e ha qualcosa da raccontarci.Andrea ValenteAutore e illustratore, Andrea Valente scrive e illustra testi ironici e umoristici. Nel 2011 riceve il Premio Andersen come miglior autore completo. Presenza costante ai più importanti festival letterari, con Lapis pubblica racconti fantastici e testi divulgativi. Andrea incontra volentieri i ragazzi, per parlare di pecore – per lo più nere – e di qualsiasi altra cosa, purché sia almeno un po' strampalata.Lucia ScuderiIllustratrice, pittrice e autrice, vive ai piedi dell'Etna. Ha ideato e progettato numerosi libri per bambini, pubblicando con le più importanti case editrici italiane. Alcuni dei suoi titoli sono stati pubblicati anche all'estero, in Francia, Paesi Bassi, Germania, Svizzera, Spagna, Corea, USA e Cina. Le sue illustrazioni sono state selezionate per importanti mostre collettive e rassegne, italiane e internazionali. Nel 2013 ha vinto il Premio Andersen come miglior illustratrice.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Ivan Canu, Gianni De Conno"L'amico inatteso"Edizioni Lapiswww.edizionilapis.itIn principio il cane era un lupo, poi un incontro ha cambiato la sua vita e quella dell'uomo. Dopo l'edizione francese, Lapis porta in Italia un albo firmato da Ivan Canu e da uno dei più grandi maestri dell'illustrazione italiana, Gianni De Conno.L'inverno è alle porte e il lupo vorrebbe avere al proprio fianco qualcuno con cui passare una stagione fatta di freddo, neve e solitudine. Qualcuno, ma chi? Un amico? Il lupo non ha amici, non può averne: tutti sono troppo spaventati dalla sua ferocia. Nessuno, nonostante gli inviti, si fiderà di lui. Sconsolato, solo e infreddolito, il lupo si rifugia in una grotta per passare la notte. Lì incontrerà l'animale più temuto del bosco: un cacciatore. Ma se questi due predatori si guardassero negli occhi? Questa notte di gelo potrebbe essere rischiarata dal calore del fuoco e da quello di una carezza, per cambiare il resto della storia, regalandoci l'affetto di quello che oggi è il migliore amico dell'uomo.Splendidi paesaggi, atmosfere rarefatte, animali perfettamente rispondenti al vero, capaci di appagare l'occhio del bambino e dell'adulto, per una struttura narrativa che ricorda un'antica favola sull'origine dell'amicizia tra l'uomo e il cane.Ivan CanuIllustratore, critico e scrittore per L'Espresso, Il Sole 24 Ore, Corraini, Feltrinelli e Salani. È autore di libri per bambini che sono stati pubblicati in Italia e all'estero. Nel 2009 è tra i fondatori di Mimaster.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for July 13, 2024 is: eclectic • ih-KLEK-tik • adjective Something described as eclectic, such as a collection or a person's tastes, includes things taken from many different sources. // The collection includes an eclectic mix of historical artifacts. See the entry > Examples: “Known for its eclectic, international flavor and its status as a bar crawl destination, this neighborhood has landed some of the city's most respected restaurants in recent years. Go to Keren for Eritrean breakfast, Lucky Buns for top-notch burgers, Lapis for refined Afghan dishes, the Game for Filipino bar food, Green Zone for Middle Eastern-flavored cocktails, and Tail Up Goat for Mediterranean toasts and fresh pasta.” — Eater.com (Washington, D.C.), 21 Mar. 2024 Did you know? Eclectic comes from the Greek adjective eklektikos, meaning “picking out, selecting what appears to be best,” which in turn comes from the verb eklegein, meaning “to select.” Eclectic was originally applied to ancient philosophers who were not committed to any single system of philosophy but instead selected whichever doctrines pleased them from every school of thought. Later, the word's use broadened to cover other selective natures, as well as the use of elements drawn from different sources. For instance, a museum with an eclectic collection may showcase pieces from a variety of styles and periods and in different media. Similarly, a person may be said to have eclectic tastes if they enjoy a broad range, rather than a single genre, of film, music, literature, etc.

Ad Astra Travelers! Welcome to another episode of Tales of Teyvat: A Genshin Lore Podcast. This week, we're discussing the elder of Teyvat: Zhongli! Of course, we would be remiss to forget his other titles, Morax and Rex Lapis, as we discuss his life as a god, an archon, and a broke funeral parlor consultant. After a quick recap of Zhongli's involvement in the Liyue Archon Quest, we review both of his story quests and discuss his involvement in the archon war. One thing you won't hear anything about, however, is his involvement in the Cataclysm since he refuses to talk about it with the traveler whatsoever.  Is Zhongli a rascal for lying to Childe? Is Zhongli a jerk for all the havoc he caused during the Archon war? Or is he just a reflective old man trying to drink tea and be a dad? Come sip on your Osmanthus Wine and find out!

Just have a self-awareness.In today's episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Enid Futterman and John Isaacs, the co-founders of IMBY, a revolutionary platform for hyperlocal journalism. IMBY, which stands for "In My Back Yard," empowers communities to create their own digital newspapers, promoting citizen journalism and community engagement.Enid explained, “IMBY is a hyperlocal network of websites for citizen journalism. It allows any community to create its own digital newspaper.” This model not only fills the gap left by the decline of traditional local newspapers but also provides a space for community members to share news, opinions, and events directly relevant to their locality.John elaborated on the origins of IMBY, sharing how their initial success with a local community magazine in Hudson, New York, inspired them to create a scalable platform. “The demise of local journalism is not just an absence of information but also a threat to democracy. Local news plays an enormously important role and its diminishment is a serious issue for the preservation of democracy,” John emphasized. This sentiment underscores the critical role IMBY aims to play in sustaining informed and connected communities.One of the most compelling aspects of IMBY is its support for citizen activists. Enid highlighted, “One of the biggest uses is among citizen activists who are trying to advocate for a cause, often aligned with our mission to build community with the values of localism, sustainability, and justice.”Currently, IMBY is running a crowdfunding campaign on Honeycomb Credit to expand its reach. Enid noted, “Honeycomb's focus on crowdsourcing local capital aligns perfectly with our mission to crowdsource local news.”IMBY's innovative approach not only addresses the loss of local newspapers but also reinvigorates the essence of community journalism. Their platform represents a beacon of hope for communities striving to stay informed and engaged in an era of media consolidation and declining local news sources.Through platforms like IMBY, the power of the press is truly placed back in the hands of the people, fostering a more democratic and connected society.AI Episode Summary1. Devin introduces IMBY, a platform for hyperlocal journalism developed by Enid Futterman and John Isaacs.2. Enid describes IMBY as a network of websites for citizen journalism, allowing communities to create their own digital newspapers.3. John shares the history and motivation behind IMBY, stemming from their experience with a local quarterly magazine in Columbia County, New York.4. IMBY aims to address the decline of local newspapers by empowering citizens to become content creators, thereby preserving local journalism.5. Enid emphasizes that anyone can post various types of content on IMBY, including news stories, opinion pieces, and event announcements, fortifying community advocacy.6. John highlights that the decline in local journalism affects democracy, making platforms like IMBY crucial for maintaining local dialogues and informed communities.7. Devin speaks about the cultural shift towards conglomerates owning local papers and how IMBY counters this by providing a decentralized model for local journalism.8. Enid explains that IMBY is currently funded through local advertising and is exploring additional revenue streams such as subscriptions and merchandising.9. John and Enid discuss their successful crowdfunding campaign on Honeycomb Credit, which aligns with IMBY's focus on crowdsourcing local news.10. The show ends with Enid and John discussing their "superpowers" of love and self-awareness, emphasizing the importance of passion and self-reflection in achieving personal and professional fulfillment.How to Develop Love As a SuperpowerSummary: Enid's superpower is her profound love for what she does. This love drives her dedication to hyperlocal journalism and her mission to build community through IMBY. She believes that genuine passion and care for one's work are essential for overcoming challenges and achieving meaningful success.Developing Enid's Superpower:1. Find Your Passion: Identify work that you deeply care about and are passionate about.2. Stay Tenacious: Understand that love for what you do can help you persist through challenges.3. Align Values: Ensure that your work aligns with your values and beliefs, making it more fulfilling.4. Move Away from Unfulfilling Work: Have the courage to leave work that doesn't resonate with you, even if it's lucrative.By following Enid's example and advice, you can make love for your work a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!How to Develop Self-Awareness As a SuperpowerSummary: John's superpower is his strong sense of self-awareness. He leverages his diverse experiences and philosophical background to stay focused on meaningful work that benefits society. By maintaining a balanced perspective and reflecting on his actions, John contributes significantly to the success and impact of IMBY.Developing John's Superpower:1. Practice Self-Reflection: Regularly take time to reflect on your actions and decisions without judgment.2. Maintain Balance: Develop a balanced perspective by observing yourself from an outside view.3. Stay True to Yourself: Avoid being driven by external pressures; focus on what genuinely matters to you.4. Objective Observation: Engage in self-observation exercises in the morning and evening to maintain self-awareness throughout the day.By following John's example and advice, you can make self-awareness a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

Today's crossword was  jaw-droppingly difficult, each clue handcrafted to be more devious than the one that preceded it. From 44A, Notably circular formations on Mars, DUNES (they have dunes on Mars? cool!), to 48A, Flowers that are a a source of the anti-inflammatory drug colchicine, CROCI (woah!), to even 45A, Cup alternative, PINT (gasp!), it is clear that the intent of this puzzle was to puzzle, and it does so in spades.

Well, it looks like we all managed to make it back. Now we're relentlessly drawing a connection to Xenoblade 2, laughing through illusory worlds, existing in the subconscious, fighting energy with energy, vaporizing a gas giant, issuing the many worlds theory, pasting in a picture of space, disarming subconscious domain protection, denying a hug, earning a three-way, crying in a graveyard, giving Allen exclusive access to the future, passing out after the sex, showing feet, monologuing in bed, and reaching new depths of pity for Allen.

Think about all of the things that you desire for your life? Does it make you uncomfortable to say these desires out loud because you don't think you deserve good things to happen to you? I want to walk you through a progression today on the podcast where we retrain our brains to believe that we are deserving. Thanks for tuning in!   Life updates and highlights :   I moved to an apartment with more space last year, which has been wonderful, but our new place actually didn't have a storage unit, so it didn't necessarily feel that much more spacious than our old apartment. We got a new storage unit this week though and we have been loving freeing up space! As a result we have been happier at home and I've been cooking dinner more often. I love how good things have a domino effect in our lives for more good to come!   We've also really been enjoying watching gambling and learning Baccarat.

Meena, I'm sure that you will find this letter eventually. That is if you do return to Rosewalk at all. Perhaps you've already found your place out there in the Heath and have no need to come back here, back to this house, back to this table where we used to read. I'm sorry perhaps I'm being a little unfair and too much a cynic. I've tried to write this letter almost a dozen times... you can probably find all the drafts in the bin if you wanted to. (they are not much better though) The thing is, I have decided to leave Rosewalk. I know we had our plans and we made our promises, but after hearing your stories of the Heathland and listening to whispers on the wind across the bay I realized I want stories of my own. Once I stopped getting your letters I knew I had to find a way to go. I am joining a wandering tavern that stopped in the city so ill be able to travel with plenty of rest. Hearth, the head chef said that I could come with them for free as long as I did a little work here and there. I brought along my flute so hopefully a bit of music will suffice. They are all really nice, and the caterpillar that caries the tavern, Levi, lets me feed him by hand sometimes. So all I mean to say is, I don't want you to worry about me. I'll be okay and maybe someday we will see each other again out in the vastness of Heath. With love, Your friend, Elacore Meena comes home to find Elacore gone on Xer own journey. Sullenly heading home to her adoptive mother Lapis, Meena begins to work through her feelings and find a new path forward. Meena takes her journey through the mists of the Crossroads, a Hallowed place that confronts her with ideas about what she has lost. Music in this episode is by Devin Nelson.

Is every object alive? Are wind, oceans, and mountains sentient? Jung, inspired by Anima Mundi or world soul, believed so. This concept, rooted in ancient philosophy, originates with Thales of Miletus, who envisioned the universe as interconnected and alive. Plato furthered this, proposing the World Soul as a bridge between ideal and physical realms. Born into a religious family in 1875, Jung strived for a fusion of science, psychology, and esotericism. He lamented that excessive intellect had stripped humanity of meaning. Although ancient beliefs might not resonate with modern minds, he felt that dreams could reawaken our world and called this spirit Anima Mundi. Jung moved the gods from external to internal realms, calling them archetypes. He associated the disconnection from these myths with societal ailments. “The gods have become diseases,” he stated, suggesting that disregarded psychic content still governs us, appearing as neuroses. The quest for soul in matter inspired alchemists. Jung proposed that merging ego with the imaginal spirit or anima/us yields a new personality type, the alchemic Lapis. Ian McGilchrist defines this as “unity of the hemispheres.” Reenchanting the world involves seeing ourselves within a responsive life web and resisting the view of nature as an object. This reawakening symbolically reflects our actions, revealing our interconnectedness. Understanding that our actions ‘sing into' objects reinstates feelings. It is indifference, not evil, that fills our relationship with nature. This indifference permits destructive actions. The world soul isn't a belief, but an inner response, always communicating with us. It provides a mirror to our actions, enriching our lives with feelings that urge us to pause and reflect.  HERE'S THE DREAM WE ANALYZE:  “My husband was offered work by his older brother and agreed against my judgment and advice. They had a contract to refurbish the tour bus of an esteemed opera singer. She was glamorous and bohemian but haughty. The bus was dilapidated and strangely decorated. There was a sense that much debauchery had happened there. It even smelled of sex. The job finished without issue, and my husband was told by his brother to call later regarding payment. When my husband called, somebody told him that his brother was not home and he was working late, an obvious lie as both finished work early. I was frustrated at my husband, but he remained hopeful that his brother would pay up.”  BECOME A DREAM INTERPRETER: We've created DREAM SCHOOL to teach others how to work with their dreams.

This week on the podcast, Blake sits down with Phil Toledano, an artist, photographer, and watch collector who you might know from his @misterenthusiast Instagram handle, and his Viva Bastardo line of clothing and accessories. Phil has, by his own admission, taste that is somewhat peculiar, and a look through his IG feed reveals watches of shapes, sizes, and colors that even seasoned collectors might not be familiar with. This is a fun and wide ranging conversation that covers everything from the strangeness of 1970s Patek, the use of artificial intelligence in Phil's latest work, and a short tease of an upcoming watch project that Phil is launching later this year. There's also a whole lot of car talk (Phil is a major car enthusiast) and a pretty deep exploration of how sentimentality works its way into our hobby, and our collections.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast — now available on all major platforms including iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Spotify, and more.

In this episode, a son sacrificed by a father and his political enemies. Leaked intel reveals closely guarded secret, "LAPIS time-series video." A single page reveals US had advanced knowledge of Russia strike on Ukraine.

Diane Lapis, former president and current trustee at the Beacon Historical Society, comes on the podcast to discuss the life of a notable native son of Beacon. In the process she offers a deep-dive on the importance of postcards to the study of Beacon's history.  Harry Van Tine grew up in Beacon, the son of Richard Van Tine, who founded and operated the Van Tine stationery store. His early photographs were printed on hundreds of souvenir postcards and sold by the thousands at the family business. Harry worked as a photojournalist for the Hearst Corporation and was sent to Washington, D.C. to open a field office in 1915. Joining forces with other news photographers to gain better access at the White House, Van Tine helped found the White House News Photographers Assocation in 1921. Harry's work will be featured in an upcoming exhibition at the Beacon Historical Society. "The Eyes of History" will present a century of the WHNPA's White House and presidential photography. These displays will be complimented with highlights from BHA's collection showcasing images from Harry's remarkable career.   You can support BHS's mission to promote, preserve, and procure the history of Beacon by becoming a member.  Members received a monthly informative newsletter full of interesting vignettes about Beacon's history.  Visit www.beaconhistorical.org for more stories, photos, and upcoming events. The historical society is open to the public Thursdays. 

The cast and dungeon master continue to ‘play the roll', filling in the blanks of the days leading to Rivalry's planned ambush.

CCP Blog - Episode 3 Lapis Lazuli And Grace In Your Life What if you're already good enough? What if you absolutely don't have to do anything? What if the good things in life just shower on you without you asking for it? That is what grace means. You don't have to be good enough to receive grace. It just comes. It is something that Sarah Thomas loves to talk about because not many people open themselves up to receive grace. If anything, they are more often blocking grace from their lives. In this episode of the Crystal Clarity Podcast, we dive into the concept of grace, how it is connected to the Divine Mother, and how lapis lazuli acts as a trigger for grace to flow. The next time you wear lapis lazuli or give it to someone, you'll know its power and what it can do in a person's life. Tune in! This episode is all about unkinking that hose that is stopping or pinching the flow of grace in your life. The flow of grace that is coming from heaven, Earth, and nature all around you. This episode is about unblocking those chakras and letting them all receive this tremendous grace. It is all about surrendering to all of the things that you don't have to earn, that can be easy, and that are all around you. It calls for one beautiful, elegant, rich stone, which is lapis lazuli. Let's pull together the link between lapis lazuli and one of the primary qualities of the divine, which is grace. After the episode, you will have a good sense of when to get someone a lapis lazuli ring, when to put it on them before bed, when to make them a lapis lazuli anointing oil, or weave some lapis lazuli stones into their next birthday card. --- I'm excited because this episode is about grace. I want to define grace and us all good on the same page. Lapis lazuli is going to come shining in, uplift us, and love on us from this place of grace. I want to bring up this rags-to-riches concept. If you start from a hard place and you end up somewhere that is full of riches and treasures, I think of my little Chihuahua, Maria, who I rescued from a hoarder situation. She came out of a trailer that had 100 other dogs in it. She came to me. She was already old, gray, blind, and had a lot of health problems, and she had been living in these horrible conditions for, who knows, maybe her entire life. She was losing her hair. Lapis lazuli is going to come shining in, uplift us, and love on us from a place of grace. It was a sad situation, but we fell immediately in love and had smiles on our faces from the first day. By the next day, she is eating incredible food, toys, balls, and twenty beds around the house. She was in my arms all the time. It is like she went from rags to riches. She landed in the lap of the divine from her little perspective. Everything in the house smelled a million times better than in that trailer. She had all the food she wanted. She had complete safety. Something happened in her life where she got hit by grace. Grace is this opportunity to receive because a lot comes to you. It is time to receive that love, blessings, and miracles. My mom went to a retreat with her church. She didn't know what she was getting into. She got there and it was the pastor's wife that ran the retreat. It turned out that the only thing it was about was God's love, and it was about receiving God's love. They got there, and it was the surprise giant banquet of food. It was laid out for them. She said she felt like royalty. It is like rags to riches. Royalty is another big word that is going to come up a lot around lapis lazuli. She walked into that room and there were grapes, cheeses, fruits, chocolates, and all these things. She was like, “I was overwhelmed. I couldn't believe they set that all up for us.” Tears came to her eye. There is beautiful music. They get massages. She didn't know it was going to be all about receiving the love of God. That was all about grace. That pastor's wife was like, “This weekend is all about grace, and it is all about receiving.” Grace showers down on us, and it doesn't have to be earned. That is what grace is. It showers onto us. Have you ever had to do anything to make the rain, rain? No, it hits you. Have you ever had to do anything or been enough to make the sunshine? No, the sun shines on you. It is free. You don't have to earn it. It is tremendous love. You don't have to be good enough for grace. Grace is free. It showers down on us and it doesn't have to be earned. That is the definition of grace. You don't have to be good enough for it. It's loving you and given freely. It is a whole perfect reflection of the divine. Grace is a reflection of the divine. It is a primary quality of the divine because however you see that in your life or you see what the divine is, the divine is connected to infinity and eternal life. It is eternal energy. It is completely pure abundance, and it has so much to give. I was meditating and thinking about some things as I was getting started. This thought came into my head. I was like, “What if you are already good enough?” Because I was trying to be good enough, my mind and myself were trying to be good enough to get something started. I didn't realize I was doing this. Thank goodness for the grace right of this voice. It was like, “What if you are already good enough? What would you do if you were already good enough?” Everything shifted in my day because I sat there for a second and I took that seriously. “What if I'm already good enough? How would I be on this day if I was already good enough?” I relax and I start to receive the grace of who I already am. What is already available to me, so I don't have to earn what's coming up in the day? What if you are already good enough to start, heal, succeed, be happy, and change? What if there is nothing that you even have to do? It is mind-blowing to the Western mind. It is completely derailing to the self because the self or the mind feels like it always has to do enough and strive. It will never be enough. This immense grace is often forgotten. Because the self or the mind is loud, we forget about this immense grace. Some of the greatest teachers in my life and the people that I consider tapped and connected to the divine help me remember. One of the main things they have shared and helped me remember is to allow and receive grace. She has a lot to give. Receive the miracles, that this could happen to you and this could be easy. Let that grace in like that sun is always shining on you. With grace, all you have to do is open to receive it. Grace is this powerful magical quality of the divine. It allows us to know that things can happen easily and without cultivation or hard work. Things can happen without you having to earn it. It is free. How is the grace flowing in your life? How is it flowing for you right now? Have you forgotten about grace? Have you forgotten to receive all of the miracles and possibilities sitting there waiting for you to open to them when you are asking yourself, “How is the grace flowing in your life?” If you see someone who is a little bit stuck, they are in that loop of like, “I have to suffer to transcend,” you might start to open up the grace portals with lapis lazuli. It always comes in with this beautiful message of surrender to grace. It is all around you. Surrender to it and let it in. It is truly one of the major qualities and attributes of the divine, not the divine as we think of it in heaven, but the divine that is the Earth. The Earth feeds all of us every single day. The grace coming from the Earth is immeasurable. Open your body and all seven chakras to receive that grace. Lapis lazuli is a stone that is going to bring you up to that beautiful possibility of receiving grace, receiving it easily in your life. It is the trigger for grace to flow. If you put on that lapis lazuli ring or that jewelry, put it on somebody in treatment or on yourself before bed, it is the trigger for that grace to flow. It allows you to surrender to that grace, and it reminds you of it. Lapis lazuli is a stone that brings you up to the beautiful possibility of receiving grace. It is the trigger for grace to flow. When I was in Egypt, I was in a few museums. Everything is lapis lazuli. It is huge on all of the royalty, kings, and queens. Everybody was wearing lapis lazuli. When I was in India, all of the avatars and riches were lapis lazuli. It is like saying, “I'm receiving the grace of the divine. I'm allowing myself to sit not in rags anymore but in riches. I'm allowing myself to be royal.” In China, Tibet, and all around the world, lapis lazuli is when we allow ourselves to receive the grace of the divine. Riches is an important word. The color of lapis lazuli is so rich blue. Imagine finding that in the Earth that is incredible blue, it's like, “What a gift. What a precious treasure.” It is precious that it didn't even need to be changed to become a paint pigment. It became lapis lazuli paint pigment. It is rich. It was prized and beautiful. It is valued that painters back in the day would only have a tiny bit. They have to save up for a tiny bit of lapis lazuli paint pigment. When you only had that tiny bit, you would not paint your whole canvas with it. You would save it for these little moments like, “I'm painting the Virgin Mary. I'm going to use my last little bit of this to paint this scarf on her neck or paint her blue eyes.” It was like saying, “This is extremely valuable. I'm going to put it on what is most valuable.” When you put lapis lazuli on yourself, you are like saying, “I'm valuable. I can receive blessings and miracles. I can allow myself to go from rags to riches.” Sugilite can be a rich color purple. Cinnabar and hematite can be rich red. Gold is rich. Anytime something has a rich color, it is going to put richness into us. Watermelon tourmaline can be rich green and rich watermelon. It puts richness into us in the form of physical tonification or spiritual material richness. That richness of color is a translation of richness in us. We all want a rich life. I don't care who you are. You want your life to be rich. It might be completely different from what richness looks like to you to someone else. I know for my partner, a rich day would be if she could sit and read her book in the little nook of the couch. Smell the pages of the book, read one book, get out another book, and be in her world of books. That is rich to her, and have the house be quiet. I'm a teacher at college. I go to the college campus. I'm around people and we share ideas. That is rich for some people. I'm a Gemini, so that was my example. Other people might be like, “What was rich for me was that this crew and I built this tree house together. To see everybody working together was rich.” We want our lives to be rich. It is different for us, but that feeling of like, “My life feels rich.” That felt nourishing and rich. You are going to get that from these rich stones and rich in color. lapis lazuli is rich. It is connected to the divine mother aspects and the grace that flows from the divine mother. The grace that flows from the divine father is connected to sunstone. The divine father's grace is a lot about shifting our consciousness, waking us up, making us clear, and making us lucid. The divine father shares a lot of gifts of consciousness and grace around waking up, like consciousness, activations, boons, blessings on what we have, blessings on what we create, and growing things like that. The divine mother and the grace that she shares can be a lot around material wealth, having enough to eat, clothes, and shelter, elevating that to having wealth, riches, and prosperity, which is enough to give away to share and take everybody to Italy for the summer. It's to have that prosperity to give away, and she loves to give pure pleasure like “Here is an incredible bath and food.” Receive pleasure of the senses. The divine mother gives the pleasure of that incredible, beautiful, stunning stone lapis lazuli that is that beautiful rich blue color. Some people say it is the most stunning color that the Earth has made. It has this gold, which is pyrite. There is even some sodalite in lapis lazuli, which looks like there is some quartz in there. Lapis lazuli is a rock. It is not one mineral. It is full of different things. It looks like you are looking up at the night sky. You see incredible glittering stars, and the Milky Way galaxy stretches across the sky. The gold riches inside this beautiful blue. What could be richer than that looking up? It is like we are receiving this heavenly grace. The divine mother aspects of grace are connected to lapis lazuli. The divine father aspects of grace are connected to lapis lazuli and connected to sunstone itself. Pleasure, beauty, rags to riches, having enough, having wealth, having prosperity. The divine mother, I feel sometimes she was like, “Receive and enjoy it. You don't have to work hard. That is grace. You should receive and enjoy it.” What would happen if you let go and surrendered? Where could grace take you in your life? When we come up to conversations like this, there is a place where I can lose some people. When I talk about this, letting things come and being worthy to receive all of this grace because the light and shower of grace are strong. One of its superpowers is it will illuminate the shame and the unworthiness programs inside of you. It will illuminate the “I'm not good enough” programs inside of you. That is the beauty of grace. Look how it is able to root those out and bring those into the light. When you see that unworthiness program, that is a giant part of the process. Some people would say, “It is the whole process.” To see it is to be free of it. When you see that “I'm not good enough” program, that is a giant step. You should be cheering and celebrating because it means to see it is moving through. Grace and lapis lazuli have a way of bringing us up to face our shame, unworthiness, and all of this not good enough stuff that is embedded in the programming of the self. That is the same for all of us. There is no self out there that doesn't have shame, unworthiness, and not good enough to move through it. It can be to different degrees, but it is truly not personal to you. It is a quality of the self, the one giant program that we are waking up to. A wonderful time to bring out lapis lazuli is to say to someone, “You don't anoint yourself with riches. Receive this love.” What if somebody gets an amazing partner and they are blocking it? What if someone has this ability for something to be easy, and they are blocking it? Receive it. Somebody might be doing well in their business, but they are not receiving that piece that would allow them to make money, make that change, or get that first down payment on a house. Lapis lazuli is the moment to say, “Remember, there are miracles. There is so much grace out there that you don't have to earn. It is coming.” Open all seven chakras to receive that grace. When I say that, you might feel a couple of the chakras that are like, “I'm not receiving that grace.” Now that you have come to this episode and you have thought about this a little bit, you are going to start seeing lapis lazuli around. You are going to start noticing this always in riches, queens, and beautiful jewelry. I hope that there is a moment for you to become conscious of that question that I asked in the middle of the episode, like, “How is the flow of grace going in your life? Are you allowing it to be easy? Are you allowing the divine to shine its love on you? Are you receiving all of the energy in nature that is all around you, that wants to feed you, come up through the Earth and air? Are you receiving that? Are you letting that into your body?” We have to wonder, with these stones, did some human pull out this stone and say, “That is beautiful?” Humans started making up this story about what this stone does, or did this stone come up out of the Earth with the transmission inside it with a higher consciousness of receiving grace inside of it from the Earth or celestial realms? Did that transmission hit us and start moving in us as we started to interact with the stone? You got to wonder. Maybe it is our imaginations, and our imaginations are the same as these divine transmissions or it is all one. I wish you so much grace, and I will see you in the next episode.

The death of a brother and a lecture by Dr. Jeffrey D. Millman stimulated her to read every book she could find and attend various seminars on past life experiences. She followed her interest into formal training in past-life and between-life regression therapy, which then became her new career. Using her new credentials and knowledge, she began facilitating regressions for individuals and leading workshops to familiarize people from all walks of life about the idea that our soul memory carries all knowledge of past life experiences that impact our present lives. This book is a composite of her experience in introducing concepts of reincarnation and soul memory of past lives as well as work with guides and mentors between lives on a broader scale and to assist people in learning about the beauty, the true depth of their souls.
