We experience the physical world through sight, sound, touch, taste and feel. The world of the spirit is one of love vs hate, good vs evil, faith vs fear, along with a host of other polarizing terms that describe its existence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe find ourselves living on one or the other side of the 'tracks' in the physical world through any one or combination of factors; economic, social, political, religious, racial; and again the list goes on.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe \u003ci\u003echoose\u003c\/i\u003e on which side of the 'tracks' we'll live in the spiritual world by our words.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLiving Loom\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eThreads of Life Woven into a Spiritual Tapestry\u003c\/i\u003e is a book of prose and poetry. The diversity of themes in \u003cb\u003eLiving Loom\u003c\/b\u003e are as though spools of colorful threads were set in a loom and woven into a tapestry of spiritual life that seeks to connect us to God and to one another. The words are about life, even in the threat of death. \u003cb\u003eLiving Loom\u003c\/b\u003e is a collection of words written on the tablet of Keni's experiences and beliefs. With these words, you will be challanged to consider your life in a transformative fashion. Here are some challenges that inspired him to pen \u003cb\u003eLiving Loom.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKeni was inspired to write \u003cb\u003eHaitian\u003c\/b\u003e Train after seeing news coverage of a mother determined to find her daughter in the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. The story is told from the daughter's point of view; a view that was born under the debris of a collapsed building\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe impetus to write \u003cb\u003ePedophile Priests\u003c\/b\u003e came after Keni heard Miguel talk about the horrors of child sexual abuse committed in the clergy. Miguel (not his real name) was their victim. You don't have to look beyond the title to get the gist of this no-nonsense poem that shines a light on this dark, scandalous behavior. The inspiration came from him seeing Miguel transformed from a lost soul to a free spirit at a bus stop in South-Central Los Angeles.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOn the lighter side, you'll see what Keni is capable of producing when inspiration is off-duty and he's left to his own imagination. \u003cb\u003eBusy Brains\u003c\/b\u003e was penned in the middle of the night after lying in bed for hours, unable to turn off his thoughts long enough to go to sleep. The consolation was to turn a sleepless night into a fun \u0026amp; off-beat poem with an ending from Keni's distant, not-to-be-repeated past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Keni Arts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0615603114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780615603117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Keni Arts Int'l\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.25d","brand":"Keni Arts","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48441145622783,"sku":"9780615603117","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ff8d1330-ca45-4cfa-b990-1db80f8154e2.jpg?v=1777188998","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/living-loom-keni-arts-9780615603117","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
