Dear Brothers and Sisters, dear Friends!
In case you didn't know, millions of people are getting ready to celebrate a holiday on Dec. 25. It is called Christmas, but is also called Hanukkah for many... The very same day.
Call it a Judeo-Christian harmonic convergence. The eight-day celebration of Hanukkah begins just before 25 December, Christmas time.
It's a coincidence that could make the holidays a bit more hectic for interfaith couples, but which also ensures that both Christian and Jewish children get to play with their toys while on vacation from school.
Those holiday are coming just after the Muslim Eid feast.
Dearest Englishtips users! May you live long and prosper in peace and understanding.
Each one of us is a distinct entity, a precious stone in the Nature's safe. Let us be brothers and sisters, let us be - leaders in peace :)
On the behalf of the Crew: All the best, stovokor :)
Popular Hopi kachina dolls and awesome totem poles are but two of the aspects of the sophisticated, seldom-examined network of mythologies explored in this fascinating volume. To some in the Lakota tribe, the 1994 birth of a rare white buffalo calf in Wisconsin was more than a biological anomaly—it was the long-prophesied return of their most revered deity, White Buffalo Woman, a harbinger of peace and good times. To others it was powerful proof of the hold myths can have on the people whose lives are molded around them.
The third in the series of books of correspondence with students of the direct path by John Wheeler "There is no ordinary life. Life is a grand display or flowering within the vast and clear presence of the divine intelligence. Every leaf and piece of dust is cradled in an expanse of light and presence. That presence-awareness that contains all things is also the deep presence of love and peace always. It is your own real being. The universe being revealed in each moment is aflame with the presence of exquisite love.

Summaries and commentaries guide you through each chapter of the novel, and critical essays help you understand the structure, themes, and technical devices used in writing the novel.
TEFL/TESL: Teaching English as a Foreign or Second Language
