Love Letters to the Sun
927524
I bought this collection and read all the poems. I felt that I had traveled a quiet world: it had blue sky and colorful clouds. There, a clear voice whispered to me somethings that touched me. I am pondering what I have heard:

 (the world), coin flip to the chromatic scale, dizzying & dazzling.

(friend), were half mine. if i could call your name, hear you response, have your hands brush these fingers-- .

we blooded our knee at dust, chasing of last of sunlight.

(father), a tree planted beside the river, roots dug deep, love dug dipper.

(mother), she unfolds her hands to me, smiling, and clasped there is a folded paper lily, the lily float on water, spinning like a star.

(sister), you and I learning together how to touch the sky. --ride my back to the sky.

(self), my name, a wish for my future to grow straight and tall, bend and do not break.

i am not half anything. i am fully human, in all my faults and glory.

"a road stretching on to the horizon that cries out for exploration, cries out for wholeness. Onwards and into the blazing sunrise 

I wanted to quote every word from the 28 poems in this collection. They are 28 love letters to the sun, trying to find warmth.  I shall leave those words for the people who like to read them and share the sunshine and the warmth.

Excerpt  from a letter sent to author on first reading of TRL:

28 Aug 2006

by Melinda Roberts

At the risk of sounding like a totally crazy, unstable stalker chick, I am so touched you trusted me with your manuscript and that you let me in like that.

The Road letters is an incredible moving love story, happy and sad all at once--you... you... you.

I was with you all the way cheering you on and not wanting to touch you, to let it unfold. In the airport, on the plane, here out at the marina between the waterfalls and the boats, the sun setting between the masts in front of me, I have been totally subsumed and sucked in.

I was vaguely aware of people staring as I sniffed and then coughed, and looking up as I threw my head back and did the whole hyena thing and wiping my eyes under my glasses. Normally people ask me what I'm reading (It's like I have a sign on my forehead) but this time it was if no one wanted to break the spell, the feelings.

Thank you for sharing this with me.. thank you. Thank you. I wanted to tell you all this while I was still full of it and feeling it and wishing to God the main characters could get together.

And for the record, I have been asked to read and review many books, and while I have appreciated, and laughed, and suggested, and asked questions, I have NEVER been so moved.

I am so impressed. I still have tears on my cheeks.

Mindy

"Dear God" is a cute and sometimes humorous letters written by childern. The author has not changed the letters in anyway. For example, one letter written asking God if "he had telephones in heaven and televisions?" Another question asked "how does heaven stay up in the sky, and are there strings holding it up there? Priceless questions? The mind of children. A must read to bring a smile on your face. Very sweet book to have. I tried to find in book stores, couldn't find it. Add it to your Kindle...and refreshing book. Bring a smile upon your face! Buy, Dear God:Children's Letters to God

These postcards turned out to be beautiful!  People I send them to just love them.  Will there ever be any postcards for holidays - like Christmas perhaps?  Would be very nice.  Also, do you think these cards should be put into envelopes to be mailed to keep them in good shape after I worked on them myself?

Its a lovely and fun little book. The children enjoy coloring the postcard sized pages then they can easily be taped in a window to allow the sun to shine through. We enjoyed them as a project to do together as a family.

WORDS FROM THE HEART by Kathleen Fuller. Book 3  "Amish Letters"
Having read the first two was delighted there was another in this great series. Letters when written held so much for a person, not just in communication, also of hopes and dreams. When Ivy finds the letters, it fills her of what another person and that love was written about. Though cleaning  out the attic may have been a scheme to match make these two, will it come about. These were a delightful, enjoyable, heart warmer stories . Of forgiveness, not losing hope when dreams are disappointed. Given ARC  by Net Galley for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.

This is such a cute item. I've been adding more to each letter as I feel, and dating what I write. My favorite one to write has been the one about the house I grew up in. I wish there were more paper space to write in each letter, but there are practical solutions to this problem. :) I also chose not to date the "to be opened" tab, because I reread them whenever I feel like it. I'll be looking back on these my whole life!

What a superb adaptation to the larger Love Letters from God book!  Simpler and condensed for toddlers, yet still filled with important bible stories to help introduce little ones to the Lord!  I love the "lift the flap" little love letters and toddlers love to lift the flap and hear the important message that can be personalized for them!  Fantastic and fun all in one!

P.S. Longer Letter Later by Paula Danziger and Ann M. Martin is a wonderful book. This book is about two girls in the seventh grade, Elizabeth and Tara*Starr. This book is told by letters to and from each other. In the book Tara*Starr and Elizabeth are best friends untill Tara*Starr has to maove to Ohio.when Tara*Starr moves Elizabeth gets very upset with her but she soon starts to reilize that it was not Tara*Starr's fault she had to move.
 In this story the two girls go through many problems. Elizabeth and Tara*Starr have to solve these problems through there letters that they write because to call a long distance call was to much money.
 In the beginning of the book everything was calm and everyone was doing fine cooperating. Tara*Starr was moved and made knew friends and new enemys in Ohio. Elizabeth was also doing okay without Tara*Starr. Elizabeth did not make any knew friends friends when Tara*Starr moved untill after New Years. Instead she spent her time babbysitting
her little sister. In the middle of the book things started to heat up again. Elizabeth's dad lost his job but he didn't tell Elizabeth. Her dad started staying home and being lazy. Her dad also started to drink alchol a lot more than usual. Elizabeth's mom did not have a job because her husband ( Elizabeth's dad ) felt that he made enough money and that she should stay home with the girls. Since she couldn't work Elizabeth volentered her time at a place called Kates Kitchen.
 Tara*Starr's family was still doing good in Ohio. Tara*Starr's parents were only seventeen years older than her. Tara*Starr called her parents her "Charents." She did this because she says her parents are more chilren than they are adults. They couldn't keep there jobs and they couldn't pay the bills. After they moved that all changed. They got jobs that they could keep and were being responsible. Now that her parents changed Tara*Starr didn't have to do everything herself like cooking and cleaning. Now she could go hang with her friends.
 Elizabeth loved to write poems. Tara*Starr laved to tell jokes. To get over her fathers problems Elizabeth joind a poetry club. Her and the other kids made a book for there school full of poems that other kids made. Tara*Starr joined the school news paperand wrote jokes for the joke section.
 After everything cooled down at Elizabeth house it wasn't long befor it heated back up again. Her parents couldn't pay for bills. About a week later Christmas came. Emma, her little sister and her got everything they wanted. Elizabeth and her mom sat down and had a little talk about what was happening. Her mom told her that they couldn't afford to pay for theie house so they would have to move.
 In the meantime Tara Starr's family wasn't getting along. Tara Starr's mom was pregnant. Tara Starr wanted to be an only child. Tara Starr called the baby (who was not born) the demon child.
 The day that Elizabeth and her family were moving came. The moving truck was packed and Elizabeth and Emma were in the car ready to go. There mom and dad came out of the house and Elizabeth's dad didn't come with them. Elizabeth's dad left for good. At the end of the book, Elizabeth gets to go and see Tara Starr in Ohio. This was a wonderful book.

I love "LOVE" and so will anyone who loves The Beatles. They are the most amazing band in the world. The proof is the song "The Sun King" on the CD is backwards-- originally, just a mistake. But when it was discovered they realized that it was so beautiful they left the song as is! This just proves that their music can be played backwards and it's just as beautiful.
