About this listen
Rain in my mind.
Thinking of a beach,
Anywhere I can relax
And soak my feet.
Maybe you already know
What I mean.
The water is warm.
We can watch the sun and then the moon, no demons to defeat.
The norm is freedom.
Richard Azael Martinez Jr. has seen his share of challenges throughout his lifetime. In his first compilation of poems, he shares insight into his journey through life as he works to conquer a variety of difficulties and emotions while facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
Within his diverse poems, Martinez reflects on relatable topics such as love, nature, fears, the thinking process, forgotten celebrities, the choices we make, jealousy, life’s consequences, and purgatory. Throughout his collection, Martinez reminds us that no matter what our struggles, we are never alone and that we must all learn to persevere in order to thrive.
Reflections of Life shares verse from a new voice in poetry as he lyrically explores his experiences, both good and bad, while inviting others to do the same.

Story
Who are we...really? As depression and addiction become more commonplace in today’s culture, it seems we have lost sight of who we actually are. Like a whale on a beach, too many of us are finding ourselves breathing shallow, feeling stranded and alone. The truth is we can cut free from the things that hold us back if we can catch a clear vision of the true character of God. And like a mighty redwood tree, we can choose to live healthy lives filled with purpose, rising confidently above the chaos.

Story
Inspiring hope, solace, and courage in living through our losses, author Martín Prechtel, trained in the Tzutujil Maya shamanic tradition, shares profound insights on the relationship between grief and praise in our culture - how the inability that many of us have to grieve and weep properly for the dead is deeply linked with the inability to give praise for living. In modern society, grief is something that we usually experience in private, alone, and without the support of a community.

A 15-year-old boy is walking through a swirling fog on his way to school when a voice calls out, "Come here. We need to talk." Out of the mist emerges an old man with a white beard. He is a fantastic figure, as wizardly as Merlin, as wise as Socrates, as peaceful as Buddha. Whoever he is, the old man has appeared on that very day to change the boy's life. "You are old enough to learn about things," he says mysteriously. "And who is going to teach you but me?" The old man gives the boy four days of "soul training", a time of riddles, tricks, parables, and incredible twists.

What if Jesus were not a supernatural being conceived by a virgin but a real human being who had experienced the awakening of consciousness known as "enlightenment" in the East? This extraordinary line-by-line commentary on some of the best-known New Testament Gospels from Matthew and John tests the hypothesis that Jesus was a mystic, not a miracle worker of supernatural origin. Osho convincingly makes the case that the stories of Jesus' life were never meant to be a factual record of history but rather are teaching parables.
