Xmas Card
Christmas carols are an important part of the Christmas holiday. Two well-known examples are "Jingle Bells" which describes the fun of riding in a one-horse open sleigh and "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" which wishes the recipient a merry Christmas and a happy new year in its repetitive lyrics.
Journey of uncertainty
The speaker was once filled with uncertainty about their identity and purpose in life, with relentless voices and a threatening future. However, a still small voice spoke clearly and told them they are loved, to stop listening to naysayers and haters, and to follow the one whose presence makes them greater. Now with a newfound connection to a power source, the speaker has discovered who they are and changed their course to one with brighter days.
When sorrow becomes the banner of life
This document expresses deep sorrow and despair over some unfortunate situation. It refers to coming to someone or something when sorrow becomes all-consuming and tears flow like blood. When hope sleeps and there is no one else to turn to except despair, this is who or what they come to. They ask why they must relish in their pain and for the situation to be taken back, as in the distance they can hear the cries of mothers and children who can't take it anymore.
A legacy of light and dark interlude

They discuss Ciara's daughter Charlotte and her talent, with Ciara revealing she had Charlotte destroyed when she fell ill.

The Rocking-Horse Winner
byD. H. Lawrence (1885-1930)Word Count: 6015
There was a woman who was beautiful, who started with all the advantages, yet she had no luck. She married for love, and the love turned to dust. She had bonny children, yet she felt they had been thrust upon her, and she could not love them. They looked at her coldly, as if they were finding fault with her. And hurriedly she felt she must cover up some fault in herself. Yet what it was that she must cover up she never knew. Nevertheless, when her children were present, she always felt the centre of her heart go hard. This troubled her, and in her manner she was all the more gentle and anxious for her children, as if she loved them very much. Only she herself knew that at the centre of her heart was a hard little place that could not feel love, no, not for anybody. Everybody else said of her: "She is such a good mother. She adores her children." Only she herself, and her children themselves, knew it was not so. They read it in each other's eyes.
There were a boy and two little girls. They lived in a pleasant house, with a garden, and they had discreet servants, and felt themselves superior to anyone in the neighbourhood.
Although they lived in style, they felt always an anxiety in the house. There was never enough money. The mother had a small income, and the father had a small income, but not nearly enough for the social position which they had to keep up. The father went into town to some office. But though he had good prospects, these prospects never materialised. There was always the grinding sense of the shortage of money, though the style was always kept up.
At last the mother said: "I will see if I can't make something." But she did not know where to begin. She racked her brains, and tried this thing and the other, but could not find anything successful. The failure made deep lines come into her face. Her children were growing up, they would have to go to school. There must be more money, there must be more money. The father, who was always very handsome and expensive in his tastes, seemed as if he never would be able to do anything worth doing. And the mother, who had a great belief in herself, did not succeed any better, and her tastes were just as expensive.
And so the house came to be haunted by the unspoken phrase: There must be more money! There must be more money! The children could hear it all the time though nobody said it aloud. They heard it at Christmas, when the expensive and splendid toys filled the nursery. Behind the shining modern rocking-horse, behind the smart doll's house, a voice would start whispering: "There must be more money! There must be more money!" And the children would stop playing, to listen for a moment. They would look into each other's eyes, to see if they had all heard. And each one saw in the eyes of the other two that they too had heard. "There must be more money! There must be more money!"

EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING
Saturday, July 20, 2024
I HAD MY RECURRING dream last night. I guess I should have
expected it. It comes to me when I struggle—when I twist on
my own personal hook and try to pretend that nothing unusual
is happening. It comes to me when I try to be my father’s
daughter. Today is our birthday—my fifteenth and my father’s
fifty-fifth. Tomorrow, I’ll try to please him—him and the
community and God. So last night, I dreamed a reminder that
it’s all a lie. I think I need to write about the dream
because this particular lie bothers me so much.
I’m learning to fly, to levitate myself. No one is teaching
me. I’m just learning on my own, little by little, dream
lesson by dream lesson. Not a very subtle image, but a
persistent one. I’ve had many lessons, and I’m better at
flying than I used to be. I trust my ability more now, but
I’m still afraid. I can’t quite control my directions yet.
I lean forward toward the doorway. It’s a doorway like
the one between my room and the hall. It seems to be a long
way from me, but I lean toward it. Holding my body stiff and
tense, I let go of whatever I’m grasping, whatever has kept
me from rising or falling so far. And I lean into the air,
straining upward, not moving upward, but not quite falling
down either. Then I do begin to move, as though to slide on
the air drifting a few feet above the floor, caught between
terror and joy.
I drift toward the doorway. Cool, pale light glows from
it. Then I slide a little to the right; and a little more. I
can see that I’m going to miss the door and hit the wall
6
beside it, but I can’t stop or turn. I drift away from the
door, away from the cool glow into another light.
The wall before me is burning. Fire has sprung from
nowhere, has eaten in through the wall, has begun to reach
toward me, reach for me. The fire spreads. I drift into it. It
blazes up around me. I thrash and scramble and try to swim
back out of it, grabbing handfuls of air and fire, kicking,
burning! Darkness.
Perhaps I awake a little. I do sometimes when the fire
swallows me. That’s bad. When I wake up all the way, I can’t
get back to sleep. I try, but I’ve never been able to.
This time I don’t wake up all the way. I fade into the
second p ...

way from me, but I lean toward it. Holding my body stiff and
tense, I let go of whatever I’m grasping, whatever has kept
me from rising or falling so far. And I lean into the air,
straining upward, not moving upward, but not quite falling
down either. Then I do begin to move, as though to slide on
the air drifting a few feet above the floor, caught between
terror and joy.
I drift toward the doorway. Cool, pale light glows from
it. Then I slide a little to the right; and a little more. I
can see that I’m going to miss the door and hit the wall

beside it, but I can’t stop or turn. I drift away from the
door, away from the cool glow into another light.
The wall before me is burning. Fire has sprung from
nowhere, has eaten in through the wall, has begun to reach
toward me, reach for me. The fire spreads. I drift into it. It
blazes up around me. I thrash and scramble and try to swim
back out of it, grabbing handfuls of air and fire, kicking,
burning! Darkness.
Perhaps I awake a little. I do sometimes when the fire
swallows me. That’s bad. When I wake up all the way, I can’t
get back to sleep. I try, but I’ve never been able to.
This time I don’t wake up all the way. I fade into the

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

- 4. The Grey Horse James Reeves A dappled horse stood at the edge of the meadow, He was peaceful and quiet and grey as a shadow. Something he seemed to be saying to me, As he stood in the shade of the chestnut tree. “It’s a wonderful morning,” he seemed to say, “So jump on my back, and let’s be away! It’s over the hedge we’ll leap and fly, And up the hill to the edge of the sky.” “For over the hill there are fields without end; On the galloping downs we can run like the wind. Down pathways we’ll canter, by

My eyes are full of flu. I fear I may contaminate; I have a fever too. I cannot see. I cannot breathe. I cannot read or write. My eyes are shut. My nose is blocked. I’m not a pretty sight. I cannot lift a finger or move a tired toe. My throat is hot and scratchy. The answer’s simply NO…. I cannot go to school today; I’m awfully sorry too, this had to happen on the day
