The episode plays like a particularly bleak chapter in the lives of Woody and Buzz Lightyear from "Toy Story." Where is this pit? Why are we here? And what is going on? The truth is eventually revealed: The five characters are not human beings, but toys that have been left in the bottom of a toy dropoff bin. Climbing out is not an option, as the walls are too smooth. The premise of "Five Characters in Search of an Exit" is that these five characters, played by Murray Matheson, Paul Wexler, Susan Harrison, Clark Allen, and William Windom, are trapped in the bottom of a featureless pit with no memory as to how they got there, what the purpose of their prison was, or what - if anything - they have to do with one another. We will not end the nightmare, we'll only explain it. In a moment, we'll start collecting clues as to the whys, the whats, and the wheres. No logic, no reason, no explanation just a prolonged nightmare in which fear, loneliness, and the unexplainable walk hand in hand through the shadows. Five improbable entities stuck together into a pit of darkness. "Clown, hobo, ballet dancer, bagpiper, and an army major: A collection of question marks.

But soon, a pair of familiar strangers appear, and Laylee’s world is turned upside down as she rediscovers color, magic, and the healing power of friendship. It’s become easy to forget and easier still to ignore not only her ever-increasing loneliness, but the way her overworked hands are stiffening and turning silver, just like her hair.

Dorie initiated one of his followers into these secrets, which in turn initiated another, who in turn initiated Padmasambhava. He is considered a founding disciple of the Nyingma sect of Buddhism, which places a high emphasis on ascetic monasticism dedicated to a life of earthly poverty and meditation. This venerable manuscript was traditionally written by a Buddhist lama named Padmasambhava, or “Lotus Born.” According to the tradition, an Indian yogi named Garab Dorje spent 32 years in solitary contemplation upon which the primordial Buddha taught him great mysteries. In the land of Tibet, home of Buddhism, there is an interesting answer to that important question found in a book called “The Tibetan Book of the Dead.” Ay, but to die, and we go we know not where, to lie in cold obstruction and to rot …. Shakespeare’s Claudio in “Measure for Measure” bemoans the uncertainty of that question, saying “death is a fearful thing. One of the questions which a great many religions of the world address is: What happens when we die? Gregory Elder, a Redlands resident, is professor emeritus of history and humanities at Moreno Valley College and a Roman Catholic priest. I have only very recently come into possession of Jana’s and Erica’s books, so I can’t comment on them, but from the excellent insights of both authors at last night’s event, I look forward to reading them. I was asked by the founders of Torrey House Press, Mark Bailey and Kirsten Allen (you can read about their inspiring press here) to moderate the discussion with four of their authors: Steve Peck (author of the brilliant novel, The Scholar of Moab), Maximilian Werner (author of the haunting and beautiful novel, Crooked Creek), Jana Richman (author of The Ordinary Truth), and Erica Olsen (author of Recapture). A group of authors gathered for a discussion about the role of literature in the American West and specifically about the role it might play in shaping our environmental ethos. These are some of the questions discussed last night at Weller Book Works in downtown Salt Lake City. The two would together attempt to forge a new empire, in an alliance that spelled their ends. Already she was the wealthiest ruler in the Mediterranean the relationship with Antony confirmed her status as the most influential woman of the age. Cleopatra had a child with Caesar and - after his murder - three more with his protégé. They happen, however, to have been Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, among the most prominent Romans of the day. Cleopatra appears to have had sex with only two men. Ultimately she dispensed with an ambitious sister as well incest and assassination were family specialties. She waged a brutal civil war against the first when both were teenagers. She was married twice, each time to a brother. Though her life spanned fewer than forty years, it reshaped the contours of the ancient world. Above all else, Cleopatra was a shrewd strategist and an ingenious negotiator. Her palace shimmered with onyx, garnets, and gold, but was richer still in political and sexual intrigue. The Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer brings to life the most intriguing woman in the history of the world: Cleopatra, the last queen of Egypt.

But Lil T refuses to give up his quest to find his best friend. |a Twelve-year-old Li'l T and his family face great losses caused by Hurricane Katrina, including leaving Buddy, their very special, three-legged dog, behind when they must evacuate. After the storm, Lil T and his father return home to find a community struggling to rebuild their lives-and Buddy gone. After a bitter business feud and love triangle drove them apart, the three are reunited at the place where they created this home system, to try to fix a bug in the code. An all-knowing home system (kind of like if Alexa developed a more sentient artificial intelligence) dregs up old memories of things long buried between the three college friends who created it. The perfect read to kick off your spooky season that hits all of that criteria is THE MANSION by Ezekiel Boone. I like something gothic and atmospheric, with an especially compelling mystery at its center. I’ll ramp up into full-on horror mode as we get closer and closer to Halloween, but for spooky season, I like to start the dark descent with my current obsession with thrillers. I don’t know about y’all, but I like to enter this spooky season gently. |
