Guillard. It is a culmination of the author’s years of living on the shores of Maine’s Damariscotta River. Many of the poems reflect an added appreciation of nature, due in part to a pending move away from the river to a “tight little town” (noted in Water Sign), and to her observations of changes in the larger world (Kilauea 2018 and Transcendence). This book also contains poignant poems about love and friendship, and a collection entitled Snow Poems, written during a series of memorable blizzards. Paperback, 88 pages https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b85fd05da02bcb9012a755f/1536163432746-VK6U5V66NRLTRV4HDHE4/Ruth+Guillard.JPG River Sojourn Ruth Fredericks Guillard, originally from Philadelphia (BFA, Music, U. Penn ’52), had a career as a Renaissance and Baroque musician. She has been a certified teacher of the Transcendental Meditation technique for 44 years, teaching TM on Cape Cod, in Maine, and in Russia and Armenia. She has three sons and five grown grandchildren, along with their spouses and families. Guillard’s works have appeared in Take Heart, an anthology of Maine poets by Wesley McNair. She is currently writing a memoir about her husband, Dr. Robert Guillard, a well-known phytoplankton ecologist who died in 2016. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b85fd05da02bcb9012a755f/1536379969453-9QSB4AC5H31V9LW29WK3/River+Sojourn+Front+Cover.jpg River Sojourn https://www.tadornapress.com/lyrics-in-search-of-music daily 0.75 2020-05-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b85fd05da02bcb9012a755f/1538019463805-RD6EO2TZTNAVUN1GO4L7/Lyrics+in+Search+of+Music+3D.jpg Lyrics in Search of Music - A book of 18 song lyrics by "DashboardMonk" In the words of the author, “The title, Lyrics in Search of Music, says it all. I’m looking for people interested in adding music to these lyrics. Frequently, tunes would come to me along with the lyrics. If you’re interested, I can send them along; otherwise I leave it to you to add your own music. I wrote the lyrics in this volume over a number of years but I am only now, with the encouragement of friends, publishing them.” Several of the songs speak of love without attachment. Some of the lyrics clearly fall into certain categories while others can flow into many different genres from country western to folk to pop to rock to rap.

The name came about when a friend gave him a gift of a plastic Buddha on a spring. The name on the box the Buddha came in - Dashboard Monk. “It’s not a prison of do’s and don’ts With invisible walls and bars It’s the truth you know it’s out there You can see it in the stars” Lyrics from the song Millennium’s Child by DashboardMonk https://www.tadornapress.com/through-the-eyes-of-priya daily 0.75 2020-02-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b85fd05da02bcb9012a755f/1538271460774-UJD2JY42SMAHMA07NXBE/Author%2C+Illustrator+%26+Real+Characters.jpg Through the Eyes of Priya Originally from Australia, and a family of generations of dairy farmers, the author Carole Davey, is a former Montessori School teacher and long-term member of the Mother Divine Program. Debby Henning, the illustrator, is also an alumna of the Mother Divine Program and Cooper Union for the Advancement of Art and Science. The Mother Divine Program comprises groups of women around the world dedicated to realizing their full spiritual potential—enlightenment—and enlivening world peace through the nourishing power of bliss and coherence. Through their extended collective practice of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programs, they silently and yet most efficiently nourish our world family in an unseen (but verifiable) manner from the deepest level of Nature’s functioning—the simplest state of human awareness, the silent field of pure consciousness. Why was this story written? When a small herd of “Ahimsa” cows came to live on the property where a group of Mother Divine were residing they experienced firsthand, the loving, compassionate care that Ahimsa farming brings. The milk received from these truly happy cows is like nectar, the sweetest ambrosia. Proceeds from this book will go towards caring for as many cows as possible and helping to create a better world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b85fd05da02bcb9012a755f/1538273083466-IL97ILLG86LEAAW9B5CR/Front+Cover+Priya+3D.jpg Through the Eyes of Priya Through the Eyes of Priya is a children’s book by Carole Davey, illustrated by Debby Henning. This story, with beautiful full-color illustrations throughout, is based on the true circumstances surrounding a young dairy cow named Priya. Each cow has her own personality and own story, but not many have the chance to live out their full natural life. Luckily, Priya’s story has a happy ending. Through a remarkable turn of events, Priya’s life was saved when she came to live on an “Ahimsa” (nonviolent) farm—a farm where cows are allowed to graze freely on organic grass, live out their natural life span, and have the joy of nursing and caring for their young calves. Through the Eyes of Priya gives children and adults of all ages a look into the heart and mind of a mother cow. Hardcover, 50 pages of full-color illustrations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b85fd05da02bcb9012a755f/1538309268087-E4Y5KHL6UW0DDAZ0J7RI/Priya+and+her+Calf.jpg Through the Eyes of Priya Priya and her calf Hasita.

What would you do? In 1974, the politicians, merchants, business and property owners, community leaders and the public teamed up to transform the main street of downtown Ithaca into a pedestrian mall. Cornell University began an Industrial Research Park to keep and attract jobs, while developers began renovating run-down housing. Planners focused on downtown redevelopment by creating long-range plans, which included state legislation to form a Business Improvement District (BID) with the authority to raise taxes up to 20%.” This is Mack Travis's third book, published by Cornell Publishing, an Imprint of Cornell University Press. Hardcover, 328 pages, 113 B&W half-tone photographs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b85fd05da02bcb9012a755f/1538098068598-TZCRJ7OMGDOOQ7VCSPIW/Mack+Autohr+photo+SHPC.JPG Shaping a City - Ithaca, New York: A Developer's Perspective Mack Travis spent his career as a real-estate developer. He is a former president of the Ithaca Business Improvement District and an active participant in local and regional business development. His first experience in Real Estate was in 1868, net-leasing a four-story brownstone in Manhattan. On returning to Ithaca in 1971, he bought problem properties, upgrading them to quality housing and was the founding President of the Business Improvement District. During his forty-year career he developed over 850,000 sq. ft. of residential and commercial property. In 2015 he taught a graduate course for the Baker Program in Real Estate at Cornell and guest-lectured at the Hotel and Business Schools. Mack is one of Ithaca’s most beloved and respected civic leaders—he has truly helped to shape the city! https://www.tadornapress.com/expansion-of-happiness daily 0.75 2020-03-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b85fd05da02bcb9012a755f/1538087430737-LR81MGULR9BNNVQ9PC8T/Mack+Back+Expansion.jpg Expansion of Happiness Mack Travis, avid sailor, successful businessman, and civic leader, has practiced Transcendental Meditation for over forty years. In his Expansion of Happiness—A Common-Sense Look at the Transcendental Meditation Technique founded by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, he lifts the veil of mystery and the esoteric—from this incredibly effective technique for self-development. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b85fd05da02bcb9012a755f/1538019429050-5ZKY2K75BXCHBGY2PDCK/Expansion+of+Happiness+3D.jpg Expansion of Happiness Excerpts from Expansion of Happiness During the practice of Transcendental Meditation, you may find you are breathing very lightly. You are resting deeply... Life can wait. In fact, this is the life you have been waiting for. Similar to how you might feel after a good night's sleep, you emerge from meditation refreshed from the experience, confident and full of energy, rested and released from the stress that was overtaking you before you practiced the Transcendental Meditation technique. You realize you are following a natural process open to everyone, a process that is predictable, reliable, and truthful. This is a technique that produces a happier, more productive life for everyone who practices it. Transcendental Meditation is a way to self-correct in the midst of negativity, whether it comes from inside or from the outside. It operates at a level beyond rational analysis and allows you to draw on the energy, intuition, and bliss that exist within you in your natural state.

Wallace, the artist, received a vision which inspired her to paint the 25 paintings lavishly reproduced in this book. The artist brings this story to life both historically and visually, from the Annunciation—when the shepherds first heard about the birth of Jesus, through His Ascension into heaven. Accomplished author and revered professor of generations of divinity students, Dr. James M. Efird, Biblical Interpretive Scholar Emeritus from Duke University, enriches the meaning of these inspirational windows into the life of Christ. His writings, which appear with each painting provide insights into the political, social and everyday life of Jesus who brought to the world, a faith based on love. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b85fd05da02bcb9012a755f/1545151353819-ME0ICT9WSKS2VCJ518BS/Wendy+author+picture.jpg The Life of Christ Wendy T. Wallace, Artist. Wendy Travis Wallace graduated from the University of North Carolina, Greensboro with a BFA in painting in 1975. Prior to this, she attended Washington University in St. Louis, MO and Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY. She was born in Ithaca, NY and grew-up in Nashville, TN in a loving, creative,church-going home environment. Her father, Earl B. Travis, was an engineer and her mother, his wife Phebe, was an artist. She and her husband, Larry E. Wallace have lived in Greensboro, NC since they married in 1974. They approach life as a team. Although an artist, she has always done the books for their home and office and now participates in Larry’s insurance and financial services business and their student housing business. Wendy totally enjoyed helping Larry raise his previous four children and added one of their own. They are now thoroughly delighting in their grandchildren! Wendy finds book-keeping and finance are finite and therefore relaxing, whereas art is limitless. While creating The Life of Christ Series, she also completed numerous portraits, commissioned art, historical paintings and downtown community mural projects. She produced the staged presentation of The Life of Christ Celebration now called Celebrate One Solitary Life which opened to sell-out crowds at the historic Carolina Theatre in downtown Greensboro. This staged presentation of art, music, history, drama and dance is based on the paintings and manuscript in this book and provides the audience, and especially the participants with experiential learning of the life of Jesus! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b85fd05da02bcb9012a755f/1536379921953-RDGA39L1K2DPP9UFIHUC/The+Life+of+Christ.jpg The Life of Christ https://www.tadornapress.com/contact daily 0.75 2023-11-07 https://www.tadornapress.com/visions-of-a-quantum-woman daily 0.75 2019-04-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b85fd05da02bcb9012a755f/1539867489703-DKNCES96C851CKQRD3BL/Visions+of+a+Quantum+Woman+3D.jpg Visions of a Quantum Woman A memoir, written under the pen name of “Margaret Rose Duns.” VISIONS OF A QUANTUM WOMAN One woman’s quest for truth and freedom in an environment fraught with secrets and lies, and the series of powerful inner visions that bring her through disaster to understanding and love. Visions of A Quantum Woman follows the course of the author’s life as an adopted daughter, and her struggle to find and maintain a sense of identity that preserved her dignity and was based on truth. She bravely navigated through tumultuous times rather than give up the struggle for freedom, taking the risk of rocking the family boat. Seeking authenticity took a heavy toll—as the facade was stripped away and a woman who discovers her own truth emerges. Was it worth losing everything and everyone in order to reveal the person who had been the baby handed from one mother to the other? The reader is taken through many events as the author shares her deep inner life, and the visions from childhood to the present day—which have guided, informed, and sustained her on the journey to herself—through understanding and love… Human beings have been having visions for millennia. Usually, Charlton Heston plays the lead and they are portrayed as dramatic one-time events with huge transformative power. The visions here are every bit as powerful with the same transformative power, but they are almost regular events that occur so gently as to be easy to miss if not alert. These visions are phenomena that deal with the ups and downs of everyday life, bringing reassurance, strength and a feeling of being unconditionally loved to one human being having a hard time. Why something so powerful and all-knowing should focus its attention on one small human being who will never be a Hollywood star is part of the heart-stopping mystery of it all. And yet, there may be a logic waiting to be realized - a reasoning that will place these inner experiences in a much more grand arena - the playground of Quantum Physics. Could it be that the next giant steps in modern physics will take place within the inner life of the scientist? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b85fd05da02bcb9012a755f/1555529693472-R5OCAF9Z8FU2HB2UB6DL/Anna+Pixelated+%5B50%25%5D.jpg Visions of a Quantum Woman VISIONS… The author led a “character building” life in the East End of London until the age of 21, when she left to explore as much as she could of what lay beyond London’s brick walls and green squares. With a brief but good quality education behind her, at the age of fifteen she began at the bottom in the business world and slowly worked her way up, repeatedly colliding with the glass ceiling on the way. At the age of thirty, she took a three year break in order to gain a degree in Bristol, England and took instruction in the Transcendental Meditation technique early on in her studies. Then followed nine years of running her own small business as an event caterer specializing in the sale, preparation and cooking of organic food, during which time she was invited to teach as a management trainer at a prestigious UK business school. Here, she felt free to express her creativity as never before. She ran a successful team of trainers and specialized in training women entrepreneurs. It was all very good, but her practice of meditation had won her heart and she eventually left the business world behind to train to teach Transcendental Meditation. She now lives in New York State and devotes her time to long meditations and activities validated by modern science, to be powerful in the promotion of World Peace. This is her first book.

Guillard wrote her latest book, Between the Tides, during the interim before moving from her home on the Damariscotta River on the coast of Maine to an inland 1815 house near the Cathance, a small river that flows into Merrymeeting Bay. Guillard calls it “an exchange of rivers.” She is interested to see what the changes in her natural and cultural surroundings will bring to her writing. This newest collection contains observations about nature and reflections on life in its varying aspects, with a richness of emotions running through the poems. "Evocative… she uses such delicate language, yet her words have the power to paint a picture in every poem." —Helene Soraghan Dwyer, internationally acclaimed Irish poet, executive with the Irish writer's Union, host of a weekly arts program on Dublin South FM. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b85fd05da02bcb9012a755f/1556754087172-R77ILOLER0O659DTVNKF/Ruth+Guillard+-+Between+the+Tides.jpg Between the Tides Guillard, born and raised in Philadelphia, has a BFA degree from the University of Pennsylvania.

I simply had the desire to capture, if I could, this wonderfully brilliant, generous, outrageous bundle of life with whom I shared 54 years of love and exasperation. I did not want to write a biography; there are plenty of those about him in professional journals. Just look online for Dr. Robert R. L. Guillard and you’ll find them, replete with affectionate and amusing stories by his students and colleagues. You can also find references to his many scientific papers on phytoplankton ecology. What I wanted to tell you is what Bob was like in daily life. I have arranged the book in categories and fished out of my memory, from family tales and from what Bob himself related, incidents throughout his life that illustrate the various topics. The process released a virtual flood of entertaining recollections. There had to be a stopping point, but in reality there is no end to this remarkable man’s fascinating story. In our time together we loved, cried, fought, laughed, argued, but we never got tired of each other … there was always something new. I am still finding it so as I write this book. I dedicate it to Bob with all love and gratitude. https://www.tadornapress.com/confluence daily 0.75 2020-05-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b85fd05da02bcb9012a755f/1588643478406-NL0MEMZYV6XGDQFCAATY/Confluence+Back+Cover.jpg Confluence GREAT MINDS Tell me you see What I see And I’ll say it’s wonderful That we share the view Then tell me you see Differently, and I’ll say Ah, that’s enlightening… I thank you! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b85fd05da02bcb9012a755f/1588643354835-5KY8TX788454PWL36J96/Confluence+Front+Cover+3D.jpg Confluence “Confluence” rounds out a library of twelve books of poems by Ruth F. Guillard. The book’s title reflects Guillard’s new surroundings in a historic town near Merrymeeting Bay, where six rivers join in one body of water before flowing out to the Gulf of Maine. Metaphorically, it refers to the author’s many streams of thought coming together—poems of grief, of great joy, of village life, and of closeness with Nature, her creatures and her laws, always a theme in Guillard’s poetry. Ruth Fredericks Guillard is originally from Philadelphia. In 1952, she received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree (music major) from the University of Pennsylvania, and had a career performing baroque and renaissance music before becoming a teacher of the Transcendental Meditation ™ technique in 1974. Her husband of 54 years, Dr. Robert Guillard, passed away in 2016. Guillard has three sons, five grown grandchildren, and her dog “Moxie.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b85fd05da02bcb9012a755f/1588643279565-W9E2BXFLBXCEQFPC2DDI/Confluence+Front+Cover+3D.jpg Confluence https://www.tadornapress.com/confluence-copy daily 0.75 2023-07-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b85fd05da02bcb9012a755f/b8646784-8c10-43e6-b8bb-9b1e3b77efdb/Surviving+Old+Age+-+back+cover.jpg Surviving Old Age A business mentor to family and friends, at 80 years old, author Mack Travis can look back on a 50-year career in real estate development, civic engagement, and avid ocean sailing. He and his wife, Carol, still keep a hand in the family business, but they also keep a 42-ft classic wooden yawl in Rockport, Maine, where they have sailed summers for the past 25 years. Surviving Old Age is Mack’s fourth book since his retirement from the family Real Estate Development and Management business. Other works include: Creating an Independent Income in Real Estate, 2011; Second Edition, 2020 The Expansion of Happiness—A Common Sense Look at Transcendental Meditation, 2014 His career summary—Shaping a City, Ithaca, New York - A Developers Perspective, 2018—is the story of how he and many other developers and community members formed a Business Improvement District, developed three 10-year strategic plans, and transformed Ithaca from a sleepy upstate New York town into one of the “Best Small Cities” in the country. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b85fd05da02bcb9012a755f/3a4d2835-b6a0-4329-befe-42a3f12df1e9/Surviving+Old+Age+-+Front+bevel.jpg Surviving Old Age My wife, ten years younger than I, said she would refuse to read a book with the title “SLIPPING AWAY.” It sounded too threatening, too depressing. But that was the title—that’s what I felt was happening to me. Who knew where I was going? I didn’t. “Slipping Away” seemed to be a pretty accurate description of my state of mind. The process of writing this book became an exploration. Life’s Force was given and apparent to me. But after that, who knows where it would lead? Gradually the stream of consciousness unfolded. It was threatening. It was depressing. But it also grew to become positive—one could survive old age; indeed, one could even thrive in old age. And hopefully, that’s where this book takes us, through the obvious limitations of our later years, but with the sheer will, adaptation, friends, memories, loves, and acceptance, perhaps this book will help us realize how we too can thrive in this final phase of our lives. So, with hopes Carol will read it, here’s the new title: SURVIVING OLD AGE—from Slipping Away to Life Afresh. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b85fd05da02bcb9012a755f/1588643279565-W9E2BXFLBXCEQFPC2DDI/Confluence+Front+Cover+3D.jpg Surviving Old Age https://www.tadornapress.com/beyond-the-doorsill daily 0.75 2024-07-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b85fd05da02bcb9012a755f/a152b2f4-69f2-42e0-95c5-d55082841778/Ruth+Guillard.JPG Beyond the Doorsill
