Resultados para "The Uneasy Silence" en Todas las categorias

With silence increasingly becoming a stranger to us, one man set out to become its intimate: Pablo d'Ors, a Catholic priest whose life was changed by Zen meditation. With disarming honesty and directness, as well as a striking clarity of language, d'Ors shares his struggles as a beginning meditator: the tedium, restlessness, and distraction. But, persevering, the author discovers not only a deep peace and understanding of his true nature, but also that silence, rather than being a retreat from life, offers us an intense engagement with life just as it is.

The Australian Government is facing a national embarrassment when two ASIS (Australian Secret Intelligence Service) agents have gone missing on the Mornington Peninsula along with top secret files, mobile telephones, and their laptops. The director of ASIS decides to sidestep accountability by using the National Missing Persons (NMPCC) arm of the AFP (Australian Federal Police), and tasks the team of operation Reveles to work covertly to ensure that this matter never leaks out to the local population in the town of Sorrento nor become a feeding frenzy for the Australian Media.
