Death, dying, loss of loved ones, and paralysing grief is something that will affect us all at some stage of life. Indeed it is an integral part of life and this is the message conveyed to us in this powerful and uplifting work by Jim Talentino. Through this collection of short stories, personal, heartfelt and moving, we are able to share in the painful accounts of death and find strength in the stories of so many who have walked this path before us.
BegendingS: Every Ending is a New Beginning is so much more than a self-help book - it puts forth ideas to challenge our perceptions and shows us how, in everyday life, we are all faced with losses and departures, and how these are necessary for new beginnings.
BegendingS - Every Ending is a New Beginning has been published by Terry Talentino under the helm of the ButterflyFree Project. The project was started in 2014 as a vehicle to spread the word of his father, who over twenty years ago left behind a wealth of rich and insightful writings in legacy.
Other books published by The ButterflyFree Project include: WeeButterfly (Part 1) GoodFriday (Part 2) Nipples to the Skye (Part 3)
About the Author: Jim Talentino was a brilliant mind and an inspired spirit who was way ahead of his time in a world that was not yet ready to receive what he had to offer. Self described as a hockey jock priest and a wholly coyote trickster teacher, he shared his experiences, strengths and hopes in his own unique way to ensure that his message would endure the limitless precepts of time. He left his writing for his son to discover and to eventually publish when the world was finally ready to receive it.
His son, Terry Talentino, started the ButterflyFree Project in 2014 and set out to share Jim's message with the world. Terry's efforts would result in the merger of Jim's writing, which was produced when Terry was a young adolescent, with the perspective and ideas that Terry himself had developed independently during the years subsequent to Jim's death. The ensuing magical and mystical results meant that the writing of father, and the ideas of son, fit in an empowering and prophetic symbiotic relationship of possibilities.
This father and son team listens to the wholly whisper from within, sharing what they hear on the subjects that they are called to share about. Their profound observations, penetrations and discernments provide much to consider and reflect upon in a world without ease.
