What happens to us when we forget something? Some of us may become frustrated, irritated, angry, or fearful. "Where did I leave my keys, my car, my life? What is this life really all about?" This is a story of a lighthouse who was placed in the middle of the ocean with a wonderful purpose. But one day that purpose was forgotten. This is the journey of that lighthouse, and possibly yours, of once again remembering and how sweet that is. Exquisite! Worth every penny, effort and intention. It glows with love, kindness, and ultimate trust and surrender. Thank you for sharing your divine light and truth. Your book has cast a lighted path my way. —Bob Becker Bob Becker Marketing & Communications Bethel, Connecticut This wonderful story has opened my heart and has gotten me to really take a look at my "old ideas" about my life and purpose. It is helping me to "step up" my faith and recognition of the light that is living in me. I am very grateful for this book assisting me to change "my story" to a happier ending. —Ron Rodrigues Retired state farm agent Martinez, California The Distant Lighthouse is truly a treasure! What a beautiful and inspiring book this is! The illustrations, the art, the lovely script in the writing and the lighthouse remembering, "Every time I shine, I will experience freedom and bliss!" What a sweet, simple way for us to remember who we truly are...just to know I am the light. It is the real me! I love it! —Mary Lynn Peters Unity Prayer Chaplain Penn Valley, California Just got the book...magnificent! It is beautiful and such an expression of divine truth and beauty! Soo inspiring!

This enchanting tale is actually the format for the journey many souls awaken to in a lifetime. The framework of this story is using the idea of a lighthouse that is set upon a rock in the middle of the ocean. It's job or duty is simply to 'Be What It Is' and share Its beam of Light into the darkness. In so doing the boats that sail into this region will be saved from a catastrophe by running into submerged rocks as they are shown The Way to home and harbor. As humans born into this worldliness or ocean of samsara we begin our journey as beautiful, pure beings finding ourselves, at times, falling victim to various states of mind and feelings...losing our way. We disconnect from a true sense of value, worth, meaning or purpose from what we are and why we are here in this lifetime. Lighthouse started its journey as a beautiful, purposeful lighthouse but over time became bored, sad, fearful and self-pitying by not 'remembering' the ultimate reason for its life and purpose. As in many stories we always love the 'hero' walking into the moment and rescuing the 'fallen angel', so to speak. In our lives when we come up to the end of our human understanding looking for solutions everywhere outside we finally give up, let go and/or surrender. Here in our story when Lighthouse fell asleep and has an amazingly beautiful experience of light, music, love and freedom something heralds the coming moment of true realization. Shortly after this 'dream or vision' Lighthouse recalls the fact that there had been a Presence right here on this rock. And It had promised Lighthouse that if It would simply 'remember' Its Name that at anytime Lighthouse needed anything It would be fully present. Its Name was key to bringing anything necessary for Lighthouse...all Light-keeper said It needed to do was to: "Call Me and I will be there!" In other words...remember Me! So we come to the ending of this wonderful sharing. We find a joy-filled Lighthouse.. grateful, happy, content and fulfilled. It now knows that It was definitely in Its right place all the time expressing Its Divine Purpose. It had always been meant to simply beam Its bright Light of Love and Service out into this vast darkness finding once again the true joy of living. An added note: Readers will figure out that the tale is a metaphor for our lives as we tend to lose sight of the value and meaning of our existence. The story demonstrates that each of us has a reason for being here. But when we come up against obstacles oftentimes we succumb to the challenges forgetting that there is a strength, power and light within all. And as we awaken to that fact we rediscover ourselves once again being 'on purpose' and experiencing the true joy of living.

A spectacular collection of America’s most iconic and stunning lighthouses. Through gorgeous photography, this book celebrates these unique and magnificent beacons and their history. The construction of lighthouses began as this new nation’s first public-works project in 1789 and established the United States as a maritime world power by making ports safe for navigation. These structures—many still active and serving their original purpose even in the era of global positioning systems—are living museums, yet they often prove difficult to access for visitors due to their necessary remoteness. From Maine’s West Quoddy Head on the easternmost headlands to the iconic Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, and the West Coast lighthouses from New Point Loma to New Dungeness and Michigan’s Grand Haven Pier Lighthouse, the images here will delight both the armchair traveler and those who have taken the back roads or trekked across sandy beaches to visit these special and often artful buildings. This is a great gift for lovers of lighthouses, boaters, and those who live or dream of living on the seashore.

From The New York Times bestselling author of The Girl Who Came Home comes a historical novel inspired by true events, and the extraordinary female lighthouse keepers of the past two hundred years. “They call me a heroine, but I am not deserving of such accolades. I am just an ordinary young woman who did her duty.” 1838: Northumberland, England. Longstone Lighthouse on the Farne Islands has been Grace Darling’s home for all of her twenty-two years. When she and her father rescue shipwreck survivors in a furious storm, Grace becomes celebrated throughout England, the subject of poems, ballads, and plays. But far more precious than her unsought fame is the friendship that develops between Grace and a visiting artist. Just as George Emmerson captures Grace with his brushes, she in turn captures his heart. 1938: Newport, Rhode Island. Nineteen-years-old and pregnant, Matilda Emmerson has been sent away from Ireland in disgrace. She is to stay with Harriet, a reclusive relative and assistant lighthouse keeper, until her baby is born. A discarded, half-finished portrait opens a window into Matilda’s family history. As a deadly hurricane approaches, two women, living a century apart, will be linked forever by their instinctive acts of courage and love.

"Here is an extraordinary tour de force of narrative suspense, historical realism, and surreal enchantment, a novel that rivals its hero's greatest tales as, with phantasmagorical power, it spins its story on two separate but inexorably converging levels. On the one, we are in a superbly evoked nineteenth-century America, as Edgar Allan Poe tells of his nightmare youth, of his obsession with the thirteen-year-old first cousin whom he makes his child bride, of his public triumphs and his private demons. On the other, we are with a phantom Poe living and loving in a Paris viewed through the tinted glasses of his fictional detective, the immortal C. Auguste Dupin. Indeed, Dupin comes very much alive in these pages as he tracks Poe to America, bringing with him the icy logic bestowed upon him by his creator. Even as Poe lays bare the intimate details of his life, Dupin pitilessly exposes secrets of the psyche that are the keys to the ultimate mystery of self - and self-damnation. This is a detective story, a tale of horror, of adventure, of the sea, of fantasy, metaphysics, disintegrating personality, blighted love... all the threads of Poe's unique body of work woven together to meet his last and greatest challenge, the reinvention of himself."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
